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...
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...
