Lately DTG have been pretty good at making trains, the 710 and 380 both feel fantastic although the 801 is quite lacklustre. It feels incredibly...
Normally I'd say people are reading too much into things, although I have to admit I did raise an eyebrow at that screenshot. The developers know...
It would have to be. Preston to Lancaster is a very underwhelming and dull section of the WCML, even more so when cruising at 75mph in a multiple...
I'm probably alone in saying I hope isn't the line to Morecambe. I don't see it offering anything new when compared to the Blackpool line,...
I haven't seen the preview stream yet, but I have seen the short 380 preview. I always love how these preview videos seem to have completely...
Ah of course. My mistake. The 380 coming to the route has got me into the mindset of thinking it's a present day route now.
The 801 on Cathcart is actually a layer I'd prefer they remove, as it was recently announced LNER are withdrawing their single Glasgow service....
When I looked at the update notes I was considering finally buying the route, but if they broke the already mediocre sounds then I'm definitely...
Wow 2024 is a seriously slow year for this game huh? I'm assuming DTG have something really big in the works, because I can't remember the last...
I'm holding off on getting it until at least the new 170 services are added, and even then I might decide to wait for a sale or until the 158...
Yes they serve both stations but they don't operate direct services between the two. They're separate services.
Avanti don't run trains between Birmingham and Manchester. That would be a CrossCountry route.
To be completely honest I'm not overly upset about it. I used to be but the more I thought about it, the more I realised I just wanted York in the...
I still can't believe I'm the only person who cares that the ECW 377 still has the old sounds. It's the one reason why I never drive that route...
Thanks for vocalising my thoughts better than I did. I think it would have been much better for the game as a whole if this was a Class 56, or a...
I'm sorry, "vocal few"? Ever since the very first day ECML came out I've seen people wishing for a 91. I can't recall people clamouring for a 380...
I really can't get enthusiastic about the 380. Of all the routes in TSW Cathcart is one of the few that feels complete with just one train, yet...
I'd imagine because you can open the windows on a 156.
I actually have a way of determining how to pick between trains in these situations- if i can, I'll choose the train with the lower top speed....
As someone from Wales I have to admit if they announced another Scottish route I'd feel a tad scorned. I get licensing may be an issue but I'd...
Not anymore. I think all of theirs have gone to the East Midlands now. Even if they still had them they didn't run on the line to Derby.
Now that we have a (not perfect but serviceable) 170 in the game I wonder if we could see something CrossCountry related to inject a bit of life...
Remember that "fun" is very subjective. I love steam engines but don't particularly enjoy driving them any more than the one handle EMUs everyone...
As a resident of Merthyr Tydfil I'd love to see the valley lines. However I think they'd have to either wait until the new 398s are in service or...
My standards are usually lower than most when it comes to TSW add-ons, but I can't bring myself to purchase this route until at the bare minimum...
I think it probably only works on southbound runs, as those two doors on the first class end are crew doors. For northbound runs the two doors at...
I'm sorry, but what about this half baked embarrassment of an add on is worth £30?? Rivet haven't fixed WCL or the 385 and likely never will,...
I think this is more a case of people not being used to DTG routes having this level of detail.
I have egg on my face after saying I wouldn't buy it due to the lack of announcements, but after the preview stream and the feedback on these...
Literally the very first thing I heard when I set foot on Edinburgh station (and therefore Scotland) for the first time was bagpipes. You guys...
I don't think it's completely silly. As I said, I want to know how the train sounds like in a power setting that isn't notch 7, and I actually...
Oh I agree he's a decent presenter, I just don't think he should be driving. He's clearly more interested in talking with his co presenters and...
With his driving, preferably not. I couldn't stand watching the stream due to his driving. Missing stops, constant speeding, and always throwing...
Well the good news is the 170 sounds aren't quite as bad as I feared. I mean they're still bad, but I can imagine maybe tolerating them. But that...
Umm you don't? If the doors lock automatically you're good to go, which they shouldn't in real life but that's besides the point. The reason Matt...
It would make me so angry if I found out they were doing the WCML north of Preston only to find out they were just doing the most unremarkable...
Preston to Oxenholme is a bit underwhelming no? That stops short of the best bit of the line. I'm sure JT would have enough ambition to go up to...
Very sad news indeed. RIP
To be fair I remember a few people were suggesting that section of the ECML, we just assumed it would continue to York instead of stopping at...
I know it's a lot, but starting at Watford Junction just feels wrong, much more wrong than starting the ECML at Peterborough. If they're set on...
Having a WCML start at Watford Junction makes my brain hurt. ECML starting at Peterborough is very different as it's 70 miles from London as...
They could just do a portion of the WCML with the 350 and then add the Pendolino later. I don't understand why we need yet another slow, stop...
I'm sorry, you think the trains that lean into corners like motorcycles are boring?? I'd love nothing more than a route like Preston to...
I will say it's great to see that announcements will now trigger automatically, and the route itself looks very good. It just makes the sound...
We're gonna have to agree to disagree. For me, sounds are absolutely vital to how immersed I get in the game. I expect a 170 to sound like a 170,...
Of course! My mistake! The 150 is only mildly awful now instead of completely awful! How could I have forgotten?! As for improvements to the 385...
I'd love for you to give me some notable examples, because I can't think of any meaningful ones. The 150 was still "WIP" when it was first shown....
And when has something being just "work in progress" ever meant things have been fixed for release? And I am doing something about it- voicing my...
I agree that the idle sounds aren't too bad but I strongly disagree that the traction sounds are anything close to fine. If I closed my eyes and...
Modelled very well, but it sounds absolutely horrendous. Rivet need to stick to route building because they clearly can't create quality trains,...
