I already made a thread on this :) https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/tyne-valley-line.11967/ With the recent route lengths it seems...
Updated for December 2019 timetable change.
That was one reason I got so behind the proposal for the Tyne and Wear Metro, it's mostly segregated from the mainline network and I suppose it...
True. Matt himself recently said in a forum post I think that the reason for so much BR-era stock is accessibility reasons - it's easier to rig up...
Maybe it will be soon - if miracles happen and it's next UK route :D I'm basically doing the poster work for them haha!
Wrexham General to Wrexham Central. A whole minute of mesmerising fun! :D Jokes aside: I hope it's the Tyne Valley line circa 2018/9 I think...
It is indeed! :)
OP updated again to include more timetable info.
Various fixes to info added to reflect timetable changes etc.
If only... (this is not a DTG poster) [IMG]
Just for fun... :) [IMG] [IMG] (Disclaimer: These aren't real, route has not been announced, don't bombard DTG for information etc.)
Aye, and always wondered just how the old stock run myself. Be nice if they were ever simulated as an archive piece of the 80s, cause no way will...
Indeed, indeed :) I'd hope they'd do both lines, since they've proven with the Long Island DLC that branches are possible. For sure it's a missing...
Something in the far North of England - the Tyne Valley Line, Durham Coast Line, the early or modern Tyne and Wear Metro network, maybe even the...
To my knowledge the entire route (both lines) is 47 miles long, so not much longer than some existing TSW routes IIRC :)
Consider it done! Oh and some revisions too. :)
As soon as UE4 gets it (I recall seeing that Epic actually have to code such a system in before TSW can use it) then infoboards would add so much!...
Yes I do! Yes I do. :D As mentioned above, I'd be equally interested in a North Tyne Loop era metro, 1980s etc with Pacers filling in the rest of...
I'd back this, some of the stuff I'd love to see is a little more than the current "standard" length (about 55-60 miles.) I'd wait longer and pay...
I went from Blackpool North to Preston recently, on a 319, great line and I'd love to see it in TSW :)
Very interesting idea! I'm aware DPSimulation are working on a North East England route for TS20XX, including the Durham Coast Line from Seaham to...
The old Oovee Class 156 for TS20XX cones with an ex-Serco Northern Rail livery (though not sure if it has the branding) so it's not entirely out...
Some useful information here about the Indusi train protection system the Metro uses. It seems to be a cut down version of PZB, so hopefully...
All very valid points, indeed! I don't imagine for a second that Swalwell Jn. will be left out if the Newcastle to MetroCentre shuttle were to be...
Been having a poke about the Internet and found this brilliant album on Flickr, has loads of quality photos of the system and the 994s from all...
Yep, there's a load to see on the Valley :) Seems DTG have listened - this was one of a list of routes that people could express interest in on...
Thumbs up for the XPT alone tbh. :D
Found a very nice cab ride video from Newcastle to Carlisle. Just gives you a taste of what this lovely route is like! [MEDIA]
True, I mean Great Western Express is set in/around 2013. So a late 2017 spec Metro wouldn't be impossible I suppose. Speaking of thoughts that...
I'm genuinely intrigued. I mean realistically this isn't going to be an official DLC but when the editor tools come out, if someone makes this, my...
A thought popped into my head today - were the Metro to be included in TSW, would we get to see the in-progress new interchange at South Shields?...
As much as this would be a great route (and I think a very popular addon given it's been suggested many times before for both TSW and TS19),...
I reckon this could work as an extension of the Birmingham Snow Hill - Worcester line via Kidderminster (about 1 hour journey), since the only...
Hm, never knew that! And by "almost anything" do you mean a Class 37 perchance? :D Cause the NYMR have 37264, and we all know everyone loves...
When a driver swaps into a service, usually the outgoing driver will remove the master key and secure the train with a full service application...

Seems like there's loads of ways this could go. Good shout indeed!
More information added on diversionary use as well as some DMU information. I really think this could be an atmospheric and fun route! :)
I'm game, I've always wanted to see the 185 in a sim. And there's a bonus if you include Northern, because the local services are worked by 319s...
Yeah, didn't know about the flask trains :) Maybe a portion of the route would be a good experience! Opens up the possibility for 37s in TSW too. :)
Not a bad suggestion - scenic, not much work needed on assets, and most importantly, pacers. :D
I don't care how long it takes, I just want my Metro in a train sim. :D
Seems like this has been a popular suggestion, so I've gone back and refined it a little. :)
The issue with BNSF is they're a little finicky with their licencing, but Union Pacific would be doable I think.
Cheers! :) Well I'd love to see such a nice route in TSW tbh, would really fit the power of the simulator and could sell well IMO, introducing...

Were this to ever happen of course I'd hope we could have both lines, but if we could only have one then I'd probably punt for the yellow line as...
As a Newcastle local I've been waiting and hoping someone would do this route for a while - especially since the Class 994s are soon to be...
