    Are there any Class 700 drivers on here? It’d be great to know how you drive the train in real life. Assuming there’s no speed restriction do you put it straight into full power when leaving a station? What’s your initial brake application?

    Great bargain this bundle, just grabbed the 700 for under 10 eur on Steam, cheers DTG!
    On PS5 however it's a very different story; bundle is marked "Unavailable" if you already have the base game. :(

    If what DTG said in the preview stream is correct, most hardware will struggle with extra AI services etc. I used the 387 as an example. It would be a alternate timetable, so the original one is available too.

    $17 + tax for the Class 700
    $14.36 + tax for the Class 700, ROG 37 and the RHTT

    I think you can guess which one I bought. I don't fully understand the way Steam pricing works for bundles, but I'll definitely take more content for less money :D

    Hopefully next core update. But that’s just a speculation.

    Is the GSMR working properly? It seems bugged.

    One thing I found with it is that it doesn't work the same as BCC, when you press contact signaller it doesn't say wait on the gsmr

    i would say to remove the 375 not the 387 on a separate timetable, it can easily be explained away as not been on divergence when the timetable is set, and removing the 387 from what’s supposed to be a complete/r timetable, would likely lead to just more calls for its return in the same way for the 700 (my call included)

    the 387 is second only to the 377 in prominence and in my view has a larger role on the route. The 375 on the other hand is realistic to take away in most cases and is also not just the removal of 2-3 services (though service number has a minor impact compared to stock, so looking for a train like the 387 with more services is really just an own goal move)

    The 375 is at the core of Southeastern's operations. The 387 barely runs on SEHS (it's just a layer from BML)

    Wasn’t aware the 387 runs on SEHS

    My post above obviously doesn’t have a connection to SEHS but regards entirely BML (minus the 375 layering)

    Well done job and can this be programmed to say Bedford Cambridge Peterborough on the PIS or not? I usually do this on other trains like 425 Wunderline Bremen Oldenburg Groningen by displaying other regional destinations DRA 442 on Tharandter Rampe Dresden Chemnitz Werdau Bern Zurich

    As long as you remain uniquely on console you will not be able to use mods in TSW. Saying that, I have a bunch of excellent TSW mods on my PC yet I still gravitate mostly to PS5 to play TSW. I guess I just enjoy the couch gaming experience, go figure. :D

    I would love to see the cameras in the cab work as recently there has been a mod to do with that. It would be lovely for the 700 to have the cameras working when the train arrives at a station, plus I would love to see announcements on the 700 as it would give a nice touch

    Instructions are on the mod site. One way is to buy a cheap sound platform that you use to hotkey the announcements and it plays
