Returning Player - 700 On Bml

Just made the jump from TSW 2 to TSW 5

Also bought the TL Class 700 DLC for my existing Southeastern route.

Is there any way to play a 700 on the Brighton mainline with other rail traffic?

Creating a custom scenario last time was a lifeless experience. No AI traffic, very dull. Understand I could manually create other player services to integrate but it was all too expensive time wise.

Is there any way to drive a 700 from Brighton while incorporating the regular traffic like 387 and 377?

I'm surprised to be honest. As the 700 is quite a common train between the massive route that is Bedford to Brighton so it's strange it's not really using it's full potential

 

You can spawn in any loco/train you want in any route in TSW5.
You could go into timetable mode and spawn on foot at a station or depot, then spawn in a 700 to run as you want (not timetabled) and you will have the timetabled traffic on the route.

Spawn the train and get into the driver seat. Then, click on the map and on the train you are sitting in. Then you can set an end point on the map and drive (you will get XP for driving).

To spawn a train, press left on the d-pad and then highlight spawn train and select which one you want from the list of your available ones.

 

Just bear in mind, if you do a run in free roam, you don’t get any AP, if that’s something that bothers you.

 

I thought you did?
When I spawn pacers and drive them on other UK routes it counts the points for safety systems on and distance.

 

Maybe they changed it. I know when I tried, the run literally ended without even a summary screen.

You get AP if you construct your own scenario, though.

 

That's true, it does just end and when you leave the train or de-spawn it, the AP goes back to 0.

 

Thanks for the info. Wasn't sure about the upgrade at first. 30gb to download, when it was ready to play none of the dlc had loaded
But a quick run this morning and it's looking fine. I'll try the free roam tonight.

 

One thing to keep in mind is the pathing. The dispatcher will always path you onto the fast line. If you want to run on the slow line, you will need to keep adding the go via instruction periodically.
