    Why Isn't There Any Metrolink Route In Train Sim World 3?

    There will be one day. Hopefully with Manchester’s Metrolink.

    Why has the OP not put this in the Suggestions forum, along with a bit more information for those who may not know the system.

    And do you mean Manchester or Los Angeles as both have systems called Metrolink?

    A reminder that Metrolink never granted DTG a license for TSC when a DLC based on them came out.

    Same with Metra when The Racetrack was released.
    ( though, of course, within about a day, some bright spark had created a hack which inserted the Metra logo ).

    From what I’ve seen of the cab rides on Don Coffey, the Manchester Metrolink is quite hellfire. If we ever did get a tram route in TSW that would be my second choice (after Blackpool).

    Tom on Just Trains stream last night, who used to drive Trams at Blackpool, said he had been developing the Blackpool Tramway for TSC and has given up because of the costs being prohibitive. So given news, that I don’t think we will see it in any version of TSW soon.

    I think my freeware version is still kicking around at Trainsim dot com.

    Now weve got road vehicles which can interact with characters and trains by stopping if you are stood in the road for example, I guess we've more chance then before of getting a Tram line.

    They do in TSC and they have Amtrak in TSW, Is the name surfliner owned by Amtrak or do they just operate the service for the State of California and the name belongs to them, is the question I can not answer.

    I don't think it matters, as it seems like the Amtrak California branding is present on the TSC version of Pacific Surfliner, so I would assume either the Amtrak license covers both, or they have a license with both Amtrak and state supported Amtrak California.

    (Also if one assumes the TSC license covers TSW2 as well.)

    However, The Surfliner without Metrolink or Coaster would leave the route pretty bare of passenger services, leaving only the PS round trips to San Diego and BNSF freight.

    There hasn't been a lot of demand for any new UK route. Why are you capitalizing the first letter of every word?

    Because TSW3, hasn’t been released yet and won’t until Tuesday. Have you suggested your route in the route suggestion forum?

    Yes and I'm sure DTG are rushing to release this route (which I still don't think you have confirmed if Manchester or Los Angeles) - not!
