Certainly I feel like a WCML route is due, not just for its own sake - any part of it is an interesting route - but by adding a couple of trains,...
DLGW is disappointingly quiet. GWE on its own is enjoyable enough, but like many routes, could do with a beefier timetable. If only DTG had kept...
Has anyone watched the Australian series Love on the Spectrum on Netflix? It's a lovely heartwarming show, and one of the people featured, Mark,...
I maintain that this suggestion could be transformative for TSW: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/timetable-crew.60627/
This proves, as we've seen so many times, that timetable is key. That's what makes you go back to a route, that's what makes it feel immersive and...
I'd like to see this built as a network, rather than a single branch - doing so would give more long-term playability. Matt was talking on the...
not necessarily… I think? “Frequently there will only be one traction type in use, in which case we repeat the letter”
I’m hoping it’s not a 193 as - impressive as they are - they don’t offer anything new compared with the many modern German freight locos. It...
This is a very encouraging update which allays some concerns I’d been having about the direction TSW was going in. Kudos DTG. Now… German loco...
That's just how livery designer works.
Let's let them sort this one out first
Firstly, I appreciate you inviting this feedback. I'll focus on the timetable because I'd expect bugs to be fixed and they've been well-covered....
(Yes, I'm aware that that sounds like the title of a low-budget film). I feel like, with dynamic weather, fog/mist is configured to occur too...
Completely agree. First drive, I passed a single train between Leicester and EMP, and, having had to abandon the service, I spawned at Derby at...
Yes, same. Overshot EMP on my first run, hit the emergency brakes, couldn't go again.
The problem is that DTG have us over a barrel a little bit - I want the HST/158/MML in an immersive train sim, and they're the only ones that can...
So far the timetable seems very thin - they really should have filled in the Meridian services with HSTs. Another bug is all the HST coaches are...
I'm for it to be honest, but I appreciate you'd have to have it optional for the purists. My idea would be 406 on Brussels services and Duplexes...
Agreed - it's harder in the UK because it's so atomised (particularly now), but ideally TSW would have a base of UK stock that could layer in to...
ehh, I don't mind the WCL layers, the route would be much worse with just the DMU, and the eras are adjacent.
I agree - the timetable for me, is the key selling point, and when they've made it richer, it's been a huge enhancement to the route. To me, more...
59 HST services - assuming no ECS runs, this is just under 4tph between 6am and 11pm. Given that there are two trains per hour to both Derby and...
Does the HST have the full complement of coaches? I can see a TS and TGS but no TF or TFRB...
Not including - or even planning to include - the 700 on BML feels like such a cop out. a) DTG made the (sensible) move to split trains from...
Always a fan of Strathclyde routes, but I'd set it a few years back, to get the 318s in - maybe even in the glorious carmine & cream livery.
Nice idea. Also, it'd be useful it could tell you the service before it loads it, with the option to "reshuffle".
Yeah, to me this is a golden era: 319s, slam doors, classic Gatwick Expresses, 455 and 456s, and the first few 377s coming in.
171s run on Coastway from Brighton to Eastbourne (- Ashford, where they'd appear on SEHS) and would be seen at the Croydon stations on BML
Tbh I think the Thalys is fairly low priority as a) it's not intrinsic to the route (most services don't go past Cologne) and b) I've never seen...
There desperately needs to be more SBB rolling stock. A 420 + coaches + the freight wagons that already exist would do so much to bring...
I completely agree - I feel like this route could be up there with SEHS and Dresden-Riesa in terms of density. A first step would be a timetable...
Yes, this makes a lot of sense. Could also be seen at Ashford and Glasgow Central.
Really impressed with it so far. The scenery and stations are really nicely done, and the route feels alive.
yeah, you're hemmed in by roads and other railway lines at stages
Yeah, the speed on HS1 is quite exhilarating, because there's so much around you, because it's not quite as long as some HSLs
3 types of train
Speeding up a line like the WCML is more fun though, as you're passing through junction, stations, seeing other types of train, and the less...
465s at Victoria are hugely important imo. I tend to agree with you - while they can afford to remove space-fillers like the 375s, as the premier...
Off peak, four trains per hour in each direction between East Croydon and Brighton, plus four between East Croydon and Three Bridges.
My understanding is that the performance issues are mainly around Victoria, where these obviously wouldn’t go. They could also take out the...
I would say a) I love it, it's a wonderful part of the world, and makes me wish I was there and nostalgic for then. b) all these concerns still...
It needs a timetable refresh to include IC and ICE services. HRR and MSB too.
Firstly, I'm excited to see this route. The trains are all ones I love and have been nicely remembered. However, there are some disappointments:...
Can you please include a WRmz with the IC coaches. A rake without them feels incomplete.
In railway terms it's smaller and quieter than Munich though.
Hooray!
Addons manager. Huge for me. Haven't played for a while, haven't bought the last few addons yet.
The reduced timetable is surprising, when it's been clear that the strongest routes have benefited most from their rich timetables. A busy Penn...
The train to get is EuroCity 9: 10:53 off Köln, gets to Mainz around 2h later (and continues to Zurich). Beautiful SBB coaches, and a panorama...
