No, because Carlisle to Preston which is 15 miles shorter with 4 stops not eight gives less than half of that.

Good shout. Probably 31's on Regional Railways Mark 2's as well.

Yes the 80 (not 75 as originally erroneously set up) restriction on the overnight trains is an artificial one for passenger comfort if running on...

32k AP for a semi fast from Crewe to MKC, really? I know we want to knock Bakerloo and the 1972 stock out of everyone's favourite route/train but...

This is one of the areas where the CM's should (in both my and I think others, opinion) be earning their biscuits. Updates on items reported in...

I’m still convinced most TSW QA testing is outsourced and probably to the likes of India or Singapore. Fine if the people doing the testing...

That would be a shame as they named one after George, the famous Stourbridge Junction cat.

They keep dangling the occasional gem in front of us, though. The recently released Trent Valley, upcoming JT route, the German steam route and...

I hear you… I was all set to buy a new PC last year then at the last moment MS offered the 12 month Windows 10 security update extension which I...

And the Swiss. I’m seriously thinking about evicting SimRail so I have room to reinstall TSC, as I miss routes like the Surselva Line or the whole...

There’s also a fine line between banter and abuse. I (probably) shouldn’t have made reference to “pink headphones” in past threads when...

Another one on the Up Slow approaching Rugby, there is a reduction to 60 which seems legit, but that also has no advance speed board/AWS.

Might already have been mentioned but approaching Nuneaton P6 on the Up Slow there’s a brief section of 30 MPH through some points which...

They could throw a real curved ball and do West Midlands Metro! Or the Severn Valley Railway. Technically still current day, albeit a heritage line!

This is what I did on my Pendolino run. It shouldn't happen and hopefully AABS are investigating, but at least we now have a solution which works...

It is probably the least interesting part of the WCML which is why I guess we’re getting the freight operations. I definitely feel either a Class...

That’s a bit beyond the 30 mile or so less complex routes they have said they now want to focus on. Possibly already speculated on, but another...

Yes it’s a nice feature but I was being a lazy bar steward trying to avoid trawling through the lists. I have actually suggested before, a proper...

Excellent. One more from me which I know has already come up but worth mentioning again. That catenary wire on the straight sections, also being...

Good point! One for the Q&A on the official DTG stream of the product. As regards earlier comments about the Class 40, well I’m one who is quite...

And external. My Lords… This could just be on track to be the best sounding UK diesel locomotive in TSW. Looks like that Day One itch will need to...

Thanks for that, will add it to the list once I’ve finished my 350 run (plus also want to get a bit of flying done this evening). Sounds like a...

A minor one from me, in the Trent Valley Wayfinding scenario, stopped at the signal approaching Stafford I tabbed the signaller and got a “Train...

If they are going after 30 miles then something like Birmingham to Leicester could be top of the list. They already have New Street and now...

Thanks. I probably will do a 350/4 run next, just doing that introductory scenario with the 807 from Rugby to Stafford

Sorry if already posted, but has anyone identified what, if any, Class 390 services are non stop from MKC to Crewe an vice versa?

There’s a thread about it in Off Topic. At the moment seems it’s only Steam going down this road, not MS/XBox, PSN or any other company that sells...

Save game, both number of slots and efficiency, i.e. work properly when chaining services after the initial run.

I agree there needs to be respect, but the counterpoint is DTG are selling often flawed product (and core) at a not inconsiderable price. Issues...

Good price which acknowledges the new loco is a rework of an existing one rather than something not seen before in the game. I might see how many...

Looks interesting and I doubt we will ever get anything like that in One Handled World...

Missing route maps are usually a collectible you need to activate by getting up close on foot.

Austin Powers collectibles, yeah baby!

If it’s the Down Fast, I had a spurious AWS caution passing through or just to the north of Lichfield TV. No speed restriction or TSR and the next...

On finally arriving at Crewe, quick observation… 29K AP for a run from MKC seems a tad excessive, with one stop at Stafford. Well this route is...

1H65 Euston to Manchester, loading into a saved game came to a halt at a red signal about 5 miles south of Crewe. All trains stopped ahead and in...

Well never say never, but as a former route builder in the older sims I know all about burn out to the point where even just doing a model railway...

I can safely say this is one of the best routes yet in TSW. The route builders and artists at AABS have done a great job and, while I sympathise...

Oh indeed, but this is by far the worst instance I think. A typical Rivet effort, waved through QA by DTG QA too frightened to say boo to a goose…

The word might begin with "F" but it's certainly not "Fantastic". "Oh for fantastic's sake, not this again."

If they are going for 30 mile routes then that makes Birmingham to Shrewsbury favourite I would think. Or maybe Crewe to Derby.

DTG struggled to simulate the relatively simple physics of UK steam locos, so they would probably struggle with something as complex as the Big...

The double yellows on ECML were due to the level crossing timers being set up incorrectly. Not sure if that would be the case here.

Are you absolutely certain? Well I will try it later on - maybe DTG did a silent update on that issue. In my previous experience, you reach your...

One thing I'm surprised was omitted and IMHO should be added retrospectively, is a Class 86 and 87 rail tour in both directions, full length of...

Again you misunderstood. It doesn't have to be 100% as IRL. Just because Network Rail have decided no one needs to see what's beyond the boundary...

Like most Rivet routes, Fife Circle looks better in twilight or at night! And I was also quite pleased the other day, being sure I had picked the...

Indeed. All other considerations aside, I'm quite relishing getting back on there later on and continuing my Pendolino odyssey through the...

Yes it's saved my skin a few times after a stupid mistake. Basically it creates a checkpoint. Though of course not so much use on longer passenger...

I think you misunderstood my comments about the foliage. 99% related to the aesthetics, performance just an afterthought. :)
