I don't think it's that shorter routes are hated - on the contrary, if it's great quality and has interesting gameplay then that's brilliant. But,...
I'd very much like a Blackfriars to Sevenoaks and/or Orpington route for the 700 in TSW, mainly because you'd get quite a lot of 465 traffic with...
Absolutely agree - I would love to see a brand-new route which focuses around the 465 as it's such an amazing train, plus thanks to SEHS and...
Of course, I welcome many new routes that would have a 700 which would be fantastic. Though if DTG choose to have a 700 loco DLC, I don't think...
Was hoping the new route would have featured the 700, kind of concerned this much-requested loco will just be initially for 45-minute Rainham...
Have to echo some of the previous comments above about being very underwhelmed by the new UK route - it basically seems like a shorter Cross City...
This is great news - NY-Trenton was a route that interested me upon first hearing but, like with MML, the initial timetable was a major let down...
You are correct, I've also never seen Paddington in TSW that busy, which is fantastic! GWE might be a very old TSW route, but it seems to still...
Does it? Have completed nearly 600 services with London Commuter on Series X without hardly any issues; plus I'd imagine many would have said...
I forgot to ask in my earlier post, but jane-skyhook can you confirm if part of this timetable update includes purely just AI services too which...
Wow, this is awesome news and one of the best things I've read on these forums in a very long time! The timetable was the biggest reason why I...
Absolutely agree with this. London Commuter, as one of the best routes with absolutely the most epic timetable in TSW history, deserves an upgrade...
But not if the timetables with newer routes get smaller and smaller though. :|
Much agreed with you all. It's highly frustrating and quite frankly, rather concerning, when a lot of the newer content no longer seems to hold...
I rarely look forward to new routes in TSW nowadays :| - with the exception of just the TSW 3 base routes (SEHS Extended and Kassel-Wurzburg being...
But that's exactly the point I was arguing. If DTG want to have a new route with large stations, that's fine, but not until at least there are a...
A decent, busy and realistic timetable is the sole deciding factor for any good route which provides long-term replayability and lots of variety...
Absolutely agree with this - and because of its legendary status in TSW, DTG certainly should have London Commuter upgraded with TOD 4 lighting as...
Much agreed, well said erg73 There's a lot of passionate players of TSW who only want to see it be the best it can be!
For the first time in a very long while, I have an awesome service recommendation for GWE: 2P59 - Reading to London Paddington - 1518hrs - Class...
Just to be clear, I certainly want to see more modern UK routes and rolling stock from different parts of the UK - but I really want them to have...
But at least every route that has featured an Electrostar and 395 has actually been a super-busy, immersive route with long-term gameplay...
It's certainly very concerning to see this kind of trend with empty routes/timetables continue as is - one of the best things in the past I loved...
I was wondering out of interest londonmidland why some some of these enhancements couldn't have come originally with the base route, so those of...
That maybe so unfortunately, but for many passionate players who are regular to these forums (and who are most likely to have played the game most...
Indeed - a sign of a great timetable is that it even keeps people playing despite those who might not be a fan of the rolling stock. Moreover,...
I'm really starting to get a little tired of all these new empty routes (which should be busier as per reality) - I certainly miss the excitement...
That does sound rather concerning. I'm still debating whether to get this route, though if the MML is sounding more like a quiet branch line -...
The timetable especially so RRO can finally have 101 and ICE services - plus more AI traffic at Hagen Hbf etc.
Indeed, it really is just the timetables and lack of AI traffic that let down older TSW routes; could you imagine how epic routes like NTP or TVL...
Absolutely agree. Along with GWE, there's quite a few other older TSW routes that are of decent quality too. As such, I really wish DTG could...
Much agree with your suggestion. Out of interest, are ScotRail 158s common at Glasgow Central as it would be nice to see some AI for Cathcart too.
With the HST and MML, and the likes of this thread, I decided to play GWE again (timetable mode) for the first time in years - and also the first...
Ah right, that sounds a bit of shame - anyway, thanks for clarifying nonetheless. Normally this should be a type of route which should be my...
Out of interest, what's your opinion of additional services to the timetable such as the Class 66 and HST etc?
Yes and no I'd argue. For any route which has a decent, very busy timetable, it always feels that every service is slightly different, especially...
I don't play scenarios at all anymore as they seem a bit pointless, can feel rather unengaging and, most importantly, after completing them once,...
Along with SOS, I'd be very happy if DTG could also have such approach for a lot of previously released routes too which are in need for more loco...
If you love the Class 465, here's a couple of fantastic service recommendations from SEHS: 1E93 - London Bridge to Ramsgate - 0915hrs - Class 465...
This is brilliant - ironically would also love to see such ads in TSW too with SEHS.
Actually, you can very much have a super busy route with a realistic timetable and just two trains - London Commuter is the best example of such....
Some of my feedback from tonight's preview of MML: Positives - Great to see the Class 37 ROG using the 377 and 387 from London Commuter to...
Oh absolutely, the 158 coming to TSW is brilliant and hopefully means more routes that are less empty; conversely though, regarding the 158 - or...
Much agreed if it means a much more busier timetable (though not too unrealistic obviously). But what about some TSW routes which have either...
To be fair, I'd say this is mostly constructive feedback from passionate players rather than just general moaning - everyone wants TSW to be as...
- How many of the timetabled services are just ECS? - How many start/end points are there for scenario planner? - Would you consider a timetable...
Was doing a bit of trainspotting earlier this afternoon to see Class 66707 (named Sir Sam Fay) which operated a Newhaven to Acton service....
Some may moan about this, but ironically at least such routes actually are busy with the best timetables in TSW, namely London Commuter and SEHS...
While this is the first modern UK route in a very long time I'm actually interested from the start, the lack of freight with just a single service...
