Let's try and use some common sense. It makes absolutely no sense for a route from Crewe to Manchester to go via the route that hardly any trains...
150s aren't unheard of on the bay shuttles, so they don't need to appear on the route solely for those services. I'm not too sure why all the...
I know that, but unlike Virgin and Avanti the branding remained exactly the same and I doubt many passengers noticed the change. My point is that...
"As soon as" is hyperbole. Transport for Wales started in 2018 and the last Pacers weren't gone until 2021. It technically moved to operator of...
That's mostly an unbranaded ATW livery, so the licensing may be tricky. I'd imagine TFW don't want to be associated with those infamously horrid...
Somewhat unrelated, but I just watched the part of the roadmap stream discussing this route and the way Matt pronounced "Radyr" and "Penarth" made...
175s have never run on this line.
I doubt a flirt would appear, firstly because they don't operate any of the trains out to Radyr or Coryton, and secondly because the 231s are only...
Transport for Wales has been confirmed as the operator/ era.
I personally don't like the unbranded Heathrow 387s. It spoils the realism too much in my opinion, 387s didn't operate Heathrow Express trains...
Crewe to Manchester feels like a very pleasant "filler" route to me. A great route to play as a distraction when you grow tired of the other...
158s don't run on these lines.
That also only lasts around 10-15 minutes.
I desperately want the 185 too, but this is far from the right route. I'm assuming you're not familiar with Manchester to Crewe in real life. They...
What a "fresh and innovative" comment that we definitely haven't heard before. As if having 2 handles radically changes how you control a train...
Not the HSTs but there were a few 166s that ran like that, and for quite some time too albeit not on this line. 166211 was still in unbranded blue...
Any chance of a Valenta HST? Would they have run the occasional cross country service up this way in this period?
To me it sounds like a tactic to drive up sales for Goblin line. I'd imagine DTG have squeezed as much money as they can out of Bakerloo so they...
I'm skeptical about it being the 86. I know people want it for realism reasons but to more casual players does it have any appeal or selling...
I personally think they should have prioritised including the valleys, not just because it would provide a more substantial run but also because...
Another new loco eh? I wouldn't especially care for an 86. The 87s are faster and better looking so an 86 wouldn't have much wow factor as a...
In my experience even on PS5 the amount of layers causes the game to struggle. As I mentioned previously, approaching Doncaster is borderline...
Quite disappointing. I'd have hoped the line would at least go out to Barry Island and not just Penarth. And it seems that it will be a TFW...
I too would hope for Arriva, however the licensing could prove tricky. Technically Transport for Wales operated Pacers for a few years although...
Neither the 170 nor the 197 run on the Cardiff City/ Valleys network. The 170s are gone now anyway, they were only a stopgap. The only realistic...
Somehow I completely missed this. That's genuinely a great idea. I always dreaded approaching Doncaster on ECML as the game lagged like crazy...
I was going to bring this up too. To me it seems like a no brainer to have a 2nd timetable with modern traction. The Pendolinos will look far more...
I walk past the Trevithick monument marking the location of the tramroad to Abercynon every day on my way to work. :) It was the first locomotive...
Are you trolling us? Or do you genuinely believe what you're suggesting is feasible? And where on earth have you got this "10 minutes" figure...
I (and a lot of other enthusiasts) were always going to dislike the IETs simply because they replaced trains I grew up with. That's how it always...
Yeah it's annoying, but from a business perspective you can't really criticise DTG too much for it. The 350 wouldn't have the same appeal if it...
I will say this is the most excited I've been for a new TSW release. None of TSW2 or 3's core routes really grabbed me, and my excitement for ECML...
The 231s are only temporary on the Penarth/ Rhymney services. They're a stopgap until the 756s are ready. They look identical however the 756s are...
Regarding the blue comment, my immediate thought was the FGW livery, which I'd be far more excited for than the hideous eye sore that is the...
None of those run on the Cardiff City lines, only the mainline.
Went into this stream excited for WCML South, left it excited for WCML North, GWE remastered and my part of the country getting representation...
DTG have finally decided to do a Welsh route, and one that is very local to me too. However the information they provided in the stream was...
Oh come on. Why the overdone and drab BR Blue when this could have been the perfect route to finally introduce the swallow livery? Other than...
Heaven forbid I try to show some optimism on these forums...
If there's one positive DTG can take from this it's that people genuinely seem to be excited for what's coming, where before most people seemed...
