That’s not correct, unfortunately. The first Class 800 service in passenger operation was in September 2017 if I recall correctly. The last HST...
Oh I completely agree. I’ve posted on many other 800s threads before that I’m not really bothered about getting 800s on the GWE Route. Simply...
Except the 800s are not electric trains, they are bimodes. Particularly in the early days, the 800s ran on diesel as the OHLE hadn’t been fitted...
Fair enough but my main point is that Class 800s are bimodes as it sounds like the poster that I quoted thinks that Class 800s are electric only....
The Class 800s are also bi mode. So they could have the 800s on the existing GWE route. The Class 801s which LNER have on the East Coast Mainline...
What lol? They have NOT been made redundant. The guards, or train managers which is their job title, are still on the majority* of the Class 800s....
Class 180 DMU. I have a soft spot for them but aside from that, they would be a nice addition and a unique traction. Also, extend to Oxford which...
[ATTACH] This is a Freightliner Class 66. I’m not sure if you’re from the US but if you are and the livery looks familiar it’s because Freighliner...
Apologies, I should have been more clear. In TSW, the freight trains are run by DB Cargo and their depot is at Didcot. There is another freight...
j Bryer can confirm but as I said earlier, I suspect freight will do no more than 10mph at the AWS magnet so perhaps hit the start of the platform...
That’s actually not just in the DTG world, that’s in real life too. You’ll notice that at Reading station, there are no platform-avoiding lines so...
[MEDIA] This is GT2 video of Paddington to Reading on a HST. Watch the final 2 minutes, his final approach is almost textbook. 30mph into the...
Thanks a lot buddy. Yeah, I haven’t been on TSW much and still haven’t got around to getting TSW 2. Since TSW 2 was the main focus on threads...
On a slightly related topic, I can’t remember if failing to acknowledge DSD will cause a brake application via the TPWS as well or if it’s a...
To be pedantic, A Ruscoe is partially correct because failing to cancel AWS in the allotted time (approx 2.5-3 seconds depending on traction),...
I think the SWML would be a phenomenal route although it would only best be enjoyed and appreciatiated if there is a high level of train traffic....
Short answer is no you can’t. If you want a multiple unit formation, you may be able to couple up at a depot especially if you don’t have to worry...
It’s a TPWS brake demand. Have a look at the red Brake Demand light on the TPWS panel, you’ll see it flashing (or steady if you’ve acknowledged...
HS1 is not in TSW as far as I’m aware? Bakerloo is a tube line, even if you want to count that, it’s only 3 routes in the SE while there are still...
The only routes available in the South East of the UK are the East Coastway which has a very branch line-ish feel and an unloved GWE Paddington to...
You can’t normally change it. The only way you could change is it if you asked a moderator/administrator. They normally don’t allow name changes...
To be fair to you, it does seem intuitive that you can’t reverse like on the mainline. I was also very surprised when I found that out as well.
It was a later post that you stated that you made an assumption. I’ve asked a train operator and you are indeed incorrect: You can reverse back...
Do you know for definite or are you just assuming the same rules as mainline apply to underground? If you know for definite (I.e. you are a train...
I don’t know for certain but I imagine the only place Bakerloo line train operators would get a PNB (and thus get relieved by another operator)...
UK First thing you need to understand is what types of horn sounds you have. A lot of traction have 2 tones: “High tone” and “Low tone” sound....
Oh, I don’t know why, but I’ve always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot! So much so, that I even made a song about it :cool:...

Both the driver and guard died.
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...
It should absolutely be 100% spared on a train simulator. You can’t seriously suggest that fatalities should deliberately be added to the game for...
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 agree with you. I posted this on a thread a few weeks ago.
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...
Not on Xbox it hasn’t.
