You might be right there, but it is depressing none the less.

That is how I feel, and I think the approach to Birmingham will be one of the highlights of the route. I suppose they could have put some 323's on...

Indeed there was a branch line from Old Hill on the Stourbridge line through Halesowen to Longbridge, I think passenger trains ended 100 years...

Personally I would have preferred the route to have been extended to Worcester or Hereford and included a class 170/196 (or whatever it is) but...

I am from the UK, personally I don't think people from overseas should be paying proportionately a great deal more. However I think you might be...

You expected them to model an Avanti Pendolino or Voyager just to sit in New Street or even a Cross Country Voyager to travel the few miles to the...

It matters as much as yours, surely!

I bought Cathcart when it came out and played in once or twice. However since I pre-ordered this route and installed TSW3 and revisited Cathcart I...

I too enjoyed the stream. I thought the input from Daisy was excellent and very interesting and helped bring the route to life.

That is up to you, I had decided I was going to purchase it after reading a couple of articles.

I was impressed with what I saw (I have already pre-ordered). The train and the route had lots of nice details, especially the stations. The...

Well it would be nice if they fix the silent AI trains, it might not be game breaking but is ridiculously immersion breaking which is just as bad...

These are all high density suburban types which were designed for lines like this. Class 116's were the mainstay for many years but as stated...

Probably rarely they weren't the desired type to run the Paddington suburban services. They would have been rare as Tyseley had only a few class...

The class 101's were low density units with generally two passenger doors per vehicle. The class 115/116/117/118's were high density "suburban"...

Maybe the slow release of TSW DLC over the last year is another factor in their decision? I suspect next year will be rather busier with the new...

I don't always agree with what I say either! I may well end up regretting it, although as I purchased it I now have TSW3 and the newly extended...

They are, there are some who are very against it. Thankfully they aren't my employer as I suspect I would be looking for a new job! However I...

If everyone does the same DTG will likely end up having to make people redundant, or cutting development for new content. Obviously individuals...

It does look good and has some nicely implemented sounds. I will certainly be interested to see how it develops.

Yes I am perfectly aware of that and think that you are right to be annoyed by it. I was replying to the snarky, obtuse and totally irrelevant...

Yes I can see the problem, whether DTG can do something about it I know not, I hope they can for your sake and theirs.

Are you being deliberately obtuse! Do you think DTG are staffed by robots who don't receive a salary and maybe run on solar power!

As a UK player and only speaking for myself, 20% certainly makes it sound like a lot, however for me £5 is not even two pints at most pubs (apart...

That certainly doesn't sound good. A £5 rise in my case I think is fair and understandable but you shouldn't be paying double, I certainly...

Yes the nonsensical business of keeping people in employment, making a profit, keeping the lights on, paying the insurance, paying increased...

The cost of DLC hasn't really changed in at least a decade, very few other items are the same price they were in 2010. But apparently DTG are...

How much was a KG of chocolate in 2010?

I work in purchasing and everything my company uses has gone up in price in the last twelve months, some items more than once. DTG DLC hasn't...

This is where TSC is your friend. I am tempted by OMSI2 as I see someone has released a Leyland National and a Daimler Fleetline maybe I will...

Hopefully, and I suppose that does make sense but since the fanfare which surrounded the launch of SOS a deathly silence has settled. The few...

Does everyone only want to drive what they see around them though? I enjoy driving Victorian tank engines in TSC and I was born seven years after...

I can't think of any UK based add-ons, there are several steam loco's on the Caledonian Works website but no routes that I can think of. There is...

I think you are probably right. It seems many people on the forums want to drive the trains you can actually go and ride on in real life. The...

But they would have been rare on the route, in fact for much of the 1980's Tyseley had very few Met-Camm vehicles, mostly making up three car sets...

Oh I know, I was hoping someone from DTG might see it and get the hint ;) I know I was responding in context to another comment.

Also, within the scope of the route the class 323 is THE train that runs the route and building any other new trains is not going to really be...

True but it would be nice to see one of the other 30 or so examples of first generation DMU's produced rather than DTG's the class 101 fits all...

I am sure I saw on UKTS a couple of years back someone was showing renders of a class 85, it may have just been a cab. I can't recall whether it...

Set in the 1950's it would be an interesting short branch with all the sidings in Stourbridge basin and the very steep incline up to the town...

DLC prices haven't changed in at least 12 years so I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect a price increase, everything else has gone up,...

The class 166 would be very unrealistic! The closest you would see them is Worcester. If they added in unrealstic layers you couldn't turn off...

I know but for realism I would prefer the most realistic train for the route. There are other routes which use the class 172 as a core which could...

Oh okay I hadn't realised that. I still think a 170 would be a better choice as they certainly are/were the main units used.

I don't think 172's run this route they are on the Snow Hill lines. I prefer driving diesel units and if one fits then I agree why not include...

That is a diesel train and won't be running the Cross City services just the New Street to Worcester/Hereford service at the bottom end of the...

It is Birmingham Cross City route not the cross country route. A small part of the route also sees cross country services.

I have seen many complaints but maybe it gives an unfair impression of the service as I guess those who are satisfied don't complain. I am...

That is even less frequent than I thought. The Cross City seems to be vying with the Snow Hill lines for the worst service in the West Midlands.

I think it uses the timetable from 2019 as it was the busier pre-pandemic timetable, whether the actual route is set in 2019 visually or 2022 I...
