You're likely right - I'd have to ask him when I see him next week. I could be getting mixed up between the job he had and his mother working in a...

My dad's first job, on leaving school in 1969, was at the paper mill that was on the site of what is now Dunmail Park. Do feel like playing this...

I'm not sure if anyone will know the amount of freight traffic on the Whitehaven/Barrow section from that time. I think I said I remember around...

Always nice to see a few of us Cumbrian marras! We do seem to get about - I remember being in a bar in LA back in 2005 and shouting over to the...

I get why it was demolished - I'm sure 100 or so years ago, there was need for such a big station as there was a lot more traffic coming through...

The bay platform is still in use today too after the (hopefully temporary) closure of the tunnel - I caught a train to Carlisle there back in...

I'm pretty sure it was three platforms at that time, though I stand to be corrected! It was certainly three in the early 90s, by which time my...

I mentioned the Corkickle Brake earlier - a quick check shows it was operational until October 1986 - some pictures here:...

As I mentioned above, back in 1986 there was a small goods yard on the other side of Whitehaven which (I think!) mainly dealt in chemical tankers...

Some sort of function for the next TSW that means if you're driving a London to (say) Glasgow train, and own all the relevant DLCs, and when you...

Memory may be playing tricks on me, but I'm sure I remember Preston Streets Goods Yard in Whitehaven still being in use in 1986 - vague...

I'm just about old enough to remember coal wagons slowly crawling around the harbour at Whitehaven before Haig closed down. I'd wager they won't...

Bloody hell - my "home" line! Think I said a while back I've many fond memories of being sat on the cliff/hill overlooking Parton village with my...

Thanks - I have been enjoying it, especially the Twin Peaks/Lynch vibes, but I had been quite up for a more relaxing, low-stress bit of driving...

Hmm. As a PS5 player, all a bit of a shame reading this - I've got a (mainly) free weekend to myself and having just got an unexpected £60, was...

Not sure if it's my age or whatever, but I had no idea what Discord even is until I looked it up on the back of this thread. Does seem like the...

Find myself interested in this route - as someone who isn't much interested in non-UK routes (just my preference), I'll be taking the free TSW6...

Can only echo a lot of what SierraOscar95 said - I was in need of something fresh to play on TSW5 and this new pack has made the Birmingham route...

Not a surprising place, but I was on holiday in Penzance last month and, with my other half, had a walk up to Marazion along the coastal path that...

In terms of looks, I'm impressed a lot. I had a wander round East Didsbury (my local real life station) and they even got the murals under the...

I live 10 minutes walk from East Didsbury station, so I share the sentiment! Also why I hope JT's next route goes to 80s Victoria, as much as...

Pretty sure we've had this topic before - I know my personal choice would be Preston - Manchester via both Bolton and Wigan, but I know I'm asking...

Makes me wonder (hope, even, as I've really enjoyed what they've done so far with Blackpool Branches and Preston-Carlisle) if their next project...

Indeed. Hopefully it'll be like how Glasgow Central was transformed from being a ghost station into a much more lively place when they added the...

I have no doubt this will have been answered already, so apologies for repetition - but will the EMT Liverpool-Norwich (going through Piccadilly...

I did see the TfW train on the recent screenshot, which I did wonder if would happen, as obviously TfW trains to Cardiff and the Airport run...

Have to admit I'm in two minds about this, leaning more to the "wait for a sale" option. I generally like a route that offers a chance to stretch...

I had a problem with WSR not coming up on my available DLC for TSW5, as mentioned on the other thread. Had to re-download TSW4 and WSR for that...

In the end, I had to download TSW3, then 4 again - but finally got there in the end and can give the Somerset remaster a whirl. Phew! Thanks for...

I'm on PS5 - I suspect the last time I played West Somerset was on TWS3 on my old PS4, which may complicate matters. I guess I'll download TSW4...

I did have this, but for whatever reason when I crossed over into TSW5 it didn't come up on my available DLCs. This a common issue with an easy fix?

As a random aside, I do think the CALM posters are a good thing. As someone who lost a friend recently to suicide, anything that even slightly...

Have to say both Carlisle and Penrith, though a lot of it comes to nostalgia of both places from my youth. However, Carlisle and Preston are two I...

It's not for me (for one thing, the West Somerset line I bought way back when doesn't seem to be recognised anymore and I'm not paying for it...

Yes. In 'Shed Life' I could even see it sat at the station ahead of me! In 'Shed Rising', I could see it on the map waiting at a red (I was...

Apologies if noted earlier, but I only downloaded the DLC yesterday - on both the 'Shed Life' and 'Shed Rising' scenarios for me, I wound up stuck...

One minor quibble, apologies if already said, is that I've noted the "next station" announcements you can make on the 142 haven't been updated, so...

Only had time this evening to do a Preston-Carlisle run (not stopping at Penrith), but thoroughly enjoyed it. Took a little bit of getting used to...

Indeed - just my poor attempt at humour.

"... and by 'exciting', what we meant was 'extremely disappointing'."

I've yet to pick up any of the two cargo packs, or the one for the Edinburgh-Glasgow route. I like having more traffic on the lines, of course,...

Yeah, I said the other week that I'd love to see them do Preston - Manchester, even better if they could manage both via Bolton and Wigan NW. Not...

Out of interest, does anybody know the kind of sales something like this route could expect to hit? I've no idea how niche the market is.

I didn't watch too much of the stream, as don't want to spoil the first run for myself by knowing what I'm going to see. Impressed by all the...

I mentioned elsewhere that this line might make more sense if done back in 1986, when there was more action at Workington steel works and even...

Aww, bit of a shame as I was looking forward to even just standing at the bay platform waving the coast train off, thinking (daftly) how it could...

Yes, I'll be getting this on day of release - hopefully will be on PS Store early in the morning so I can have it downloaded by the time I get...

I do have some very vague memories of loco-driven passenger trains passing through Whitehaven, but very rarely, so your answer there makes a lot...

Did make me smile to see a couple of references to old Whitehaven in the screenshots. I remember that depot, not been on the train to Carlisle for...

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "no/unlikely", but I do wonder if it's possible to link up Preston to Manchester Victoria, which is already...
