Operationally, Class 800s are far superior trains to HSTs and I don’t think anyone is questioning that: faster accelerations, shorter dwell times...
It will be tough because all the routes are short and trying to do it on a commuter/metro route will take forever as your miles to time ratio will...
I’m a high speed/intercity/long distance (whatever you want to call it) mainline driver in the UK. If you want to become a train driver then...
I’ll comment about the British routes and I’m sure you can apply the same to the German routes as well. Always start braking as soon as you see...
Which trains are you referring to? Certainly the American and British locomotives that use the air brake, an emergency brake application will vent...
The latter you have described as quoted below sounds dynamic so I’ll accept that point. But you can’t really suggest that the fact you see a red...
There is no dynamic signaller on TSW or at least I’ve not seen any evidence to suggest there is. There is no sort of priority system- everything...
I do have a slightly negative tone but I try to constructively criticise by describing what features I’d like to see. To begin with, I think the...
It’s not down to laziness. They have performance issues when there are too many trains. But I definitely agree that this is something that they...
Editor or multiplayer :)
You’ve missed her point. It’s the maximum operating speed but that doesn’t mean that it can’t go faster if you really wanted to. For example, the...
I agree with you. You will never see me criticise or ridicule someone for mistakes in grammar/spelling, etc... The only time I may say something...
If you check online, it’s 2 separate words and is the same throughout the world. I’ll confess that I used to think it was one word as well and was...
1. You should be able to stop comfortably. If not, you’re braking way too late. Obviously depends on the location but assuming you’ve got nice...
Hello, Just to be clear, you’re referring to a Signaller which is called a Dispatcher in the US. It’s not the same as a Dispatcher in the UK. For...
What? If a vehicle has derailed, do you know how much time and effort it takes to get it back on to the track? Anyway, if a vehicle is slightly...
The signaller would probably tell you to proceed at caution to the next signal. At caution doesn’t have a defined limit but I’d say between...
There are some things about the game that are starting to annoy me. Regarding the M3, why wasn’t it part of the LIRR route to begin with? It...
Regarding the location of thread, I agree it’s not in the right place but I don’t blame tallboy. There should be a forum on the main TSW page...
No problem. And of course you can, thanks for asking :)
No problem :) The Class 08 or 09 shunt engines are similar. It’s got a single cab and 2 control desks albeit in the same direction so one desk on...
Hi. In the UK, you nearly always drive from the leading cab so you would need to demobilise the cab, walk to the other cab and drive the train...
I have no idea what the celebration train is but if there are 2 locomotives, in the trail locomotive: Control and Fuel Pump: In the off (down)...
What, lack of passengers being the biggest weakest of the game? That’s a bit over the top. I hardly ever get out the cab of the train and almost...
Decide what speed high speed is. ;) Personally, anything above 125mph I would consider high speed (although this may not be the official...
About 160mph+ running lines? I don’t think so unfortunately. If you’re able to run that fast and a route is only 50 miles at best, you’ll end up...
Station overruns in real life where it is down to the driver misjudging their braking are exceptionally rare. The main reason why station overruns...
Good point, I didn’t really consider this. Maybe it could be like the TMS on the Class 377 or like the EM2000 device on the Class 66 device where...
First part of what he/she said is true. I’m guessing by the second part he/she is referring to playing on TSW as in restart the game rather than...
With automatic signals that are controlled by the passage of trains, yes it should go to a proceed aspect in normal circumstances. The way it is...
Functional GSMR Radio (UK) This is the main form of radio communication on trains in the UK and has been in use for several year taking over...
You can actually do a poll although you as you’re a new member, you may have to have a certain number of posts before that’s option becomes...
That’s a bold statement. I agree that it won’t come out in the foreseeable future and that there are many other priorities but I think it will...
Nice idea. It was interesting when GWR repainted a HST power car 43002 into the original BR blue and yellow livery, it didn’t feel authentic...
You don’t need to take offence because I’m not questioning your character or insulting you. Rather, I was just saying that your comment was rude...
I’ve thought about this in the past. I know it’s difficult to compare but TSW, for a game, is pretty expensive. When a route is discounted, I...
Very helpful post, thanks for taking your time to write it. You’re waited 18 months to write your first post, keep on posting :)
Saying, “Are you blind” is derogatory. Far, far worse than a few minor spelling or punctuation mistakes. It turns out you’re comparing TSW to TS...
The issue with more mileage is that it doesn’t necessarily mean better. I remember this discussion some time ago and Matt P replied saying that...

HSTs tend to be once an hour on the fast Nottingham services from St Pancras. They don’t tend to go Derby or Sheffield although there are a few...
Nice idea. It’s a good alternative because whilst I would love to have St Pancras to Derby/Sheffield or Nottingham, it’s not realistic because of...
Worked very well. Left at 08:21:30 and arrived 4 minutes late into Reading at 08:53. Encountered cautionary aspects on approach to the depot-...
Maidenhead? A few trains a day at most certainly not 2 an hour.
