There must be some kind of Northern traction along with the route, although doesn’t the 323 run the stopper services between Crewe and Manchester?
Looks like it could be the Coventry to Wolverhampton section of the WCML loop..
Is one of those signal boxes the clue to the port being included?
Stoked to have seen your list grow in the last few weeks and for this announcement today. This route will feel fresh!
I reckon they’ll hold off on the layers here and possibly tie it in with some kind of remaster/timetable update or even a extended/network update...
Seconded. I’d even stretch as far as to say the Exeter area could be a future example of a ‘Network’ route too, perhaps - a little more spread out...
Yeah it does seem strange. Perhaps the main requirement for this route was ‘sub-10 minute drives’ as well as being the short route dlc.
1) I’d assume it was accessible with the right traction. Hatch End is listed on the 28 stations long list on the route map! The Overground Route...
I guess they’re really just pushing the limits of a remaster, using all possible assets available to them to enhance one of the oldest routes....
Partial, but some of the smaller branches are ‘in-full’. At least the stock is named in plural, so hopefully the aforementioned 153/150 make an...

Don’t forget the parcel runs they mentioned back in July! Route Hopping feature means we’ve probably got the two JT routes combined as best as...
Route Hopping feature means another section of WCML from MKC could be more likely to happen in the future though.
I didn’t see it clearly stated, but the clues to its inclusion were that the ‘special’ edition labelled the Bakerloo and Suffragette Line as...
It wasn’t explicitly confirmed, but there were clues to suggest that the Watford DC and Bakerloo Lines will of course be playable. Is it the first...
Era might be pre-electrification so the GWE HSTs can layer on to it..
If you don’t care about virtual trespassing then there’s lots of specific places, but a few I can think of right now: the bridge west of Strood...
Having thought about it too, I have to agree. Any later than the current version date and the 166 and HSTs become obsolete. It was a current...
Compiled a great list there, clearly from an expert in the area! DTG should bring you on board for consultation. The last post added the only...
Madness. I’ve just been through, in-game, at 3:00am and over half the platforms have 323’s stabled in.
Leeds or Hull up at Doncaster, it could well be.
Or maybe the one at Werrington? Trying to figure out the location..
Not particularly knowledgeable in the SW electric discussion here, but the 442, in NSE livery, is surely in with a shout - they look sleek, class...
Interesting. Thanks for the info! I guess the 323’s and the 170’s for WMR will be gone from the New Street landscape soon altogether!
Yep. It’s just a bad dream! We’ll wake up on the 21st of August with no worries Definitely a scripted event, as I can’t ever remember being...
Do it for us! https://youtu.be/yTp683w0W1Y?si=ju4TZmc7ysaPqFJo
Well, if multiplayer is actually coming..
Thanks! I think all our watches are synchronised, and set for a certain date next month..
“Hey, make more modern locomotives!” will be our next outcry!
Glad we’re all in agreement here. Do WMR 170’s use New Street, and if so what route are they on? As for the ai layers coming off the back of the...
I haven’t see any threads/answers to this since it was mentioned, but on the July Roadmap Matt spoke about the next remaster that he was working...
Yes, plus that bit between Soho and the Walsall to Aston line that makes it a bit of a circle (that I forgot earlier).
I’d rather this route ‘2.0’d’ with the soon to be opened Camp Hill Line added in as an alternate route into New Street from the south. Perhaps it...
It would be a similar case for Rugby (via Northampton or not) further up the line. On the way north up the WCML (excluding the Birmingham Loop) I...
Good question! While I can’t speak for the real thing, I can only assume it will be an automated process for the game. Imagine approaching a...
And knowing that they’ve held the licences for the main two operators, and the third for TfL for maybe a year, it bodes well for surpassing our...
Agree. If the mainline extent is Euston to Milton Keynes, I’d hope that the branch to St Albans is in there too. If it goes as far as Rugby, I...
This seems pretty spot on. In reference to the other reasons stated above, by other posters, it looks like ‘the route that must not be named’ is...
Could easily be another TfL Overground route considering they might be in a partnership with them now.
And the Camp Hill Line which already has its track laid in the current release build!
I don’t mind the walls as such, but I’d rather know what’s in bounds and what isn’t. I’ve had a frustrating time on the BML recently where I’ve...
Excellent suggestion, and incredible detail. I wouldn’t be able to suggest this and do it justice like you’ve done. Wales has absolutely got to...

If the timetable on BML is indeed packed to the rafters and there’s no current space for the Thameslink stuff, then I’m all for discarding the...
Modern era has a clutch point around 2002-04 where the line was modernised/optimised and the older MK3 loco hauled stuff was being replaced with...
Hopefully it’s been left alone for so long until they could implement a nice long section of it. Trent Valley section would be a decent back up....
