    This obsession with toilets on the forum suggests that most of the posters are 4 or 5 years old - mentally if not chronologically.

    i don't see the point in toilets aswel lol but at least it gives out realistic vibes in these train routes i guess. its just better to not have them usable.

    Bought the route and had my first trip on it yesterday evening...
    Bought most for support JT instead my personal preference, due I prefer the German one, but I've admit the route and the Class 87 is superb!

    Unique frustration, maybe it's only my problem but I can't see the speed limit because it's shapes (it was a lot better the modern one) and I need to activate the HUD to see in advance the right speed...
    How can the real driver see that in the 80's? :o

    UK drivers are expected to know the routes and speed limits completely by heart, unlike Germany. So they already know what the speed limit sign is saying. For us mortals, the HUD is necessary :)

    Pretty necessary when stuff like the Morpeth Curve exists.

    Carnforth also offers this opportunity. I hasten to add I haven't visited the facilities in every station on the route!

    I think I've found a mistake in this too, tried to use the Class 31 to run 6M39 from Shap to Preston and its routed wrong line the entire way, I think its supposed to cross over onto the Up rather than run bang road on the down for 51 miles.

    And especially when an additional bonus is that it's around 6 EUR cheaper for me to get it from JT in EUR, than from Steam in PLN.

    Very excited to get this when I get the time to..been busy lately..but yes. Looks incredible from what I have seen so far..lots of cool layers and stuff to beef out the route. Even without all layers looks incredible.

    From what I gather you press R1 to get from hold to notch up then from there hold R1 to get to run up? And I believe run up is only spring loaded?

    Exactly, and imo that's why those inside the trains should be modelled.

    It's just a bit of fun, it's a running joke in the forums that Toilets are always locked or inaccessible in the game.

    Plus, I've seen the bogs provided in Peaks and vans and just because they are there doesn't mean you'd actually WANT to use it!

    Not to mention how we all had a good laugh about how the Norfolk Southern locos on HSC were the first fully accurate ones for that fact XD

    No. If that was the case, mbta commuter would have also cost the same but it isn't

    That's inflation for ya.

    But this route is worth the asking price anyway.

    WCML Preston-Carlisle currently has no rivals. Chapeau for Just Trains.

    If all routes have the content, accuracy and quality of Just Trains routes, l would be very happy to pay £32.99 or even more. JTs routes are certainly worth every penny you pay for!!!

    Some of the routes in TSW are not even worth half of that. I have no complaints about paying for a Just Trains route, just wish they could be appointed to remaster some of the poor presentations we have received over the time since TSW began, then we would have a fantastic simulator on our hands!!!

    You have to say, with both Blackpool and Shap, you get good bang for your buck!

    Looking forward to the next one, what ever it is, I also hope they do some BR freight locos.

    Class 87 is tricky to maintain amps without it locking out
