    can the 483 be used on the wcml. It doesn’t move for some odd reason. But it can move on bakerloo line what up with that. What about the other tube stock to. If you have the 483 on Xbox pls see if it can move on your Xbox or any other console.

    In real life I believe it can run on third rail routes, but I don't think Rivet set it up to work that way in-game

    That figures kinda surprised that it can work on the bakerloo line. Gz I guess two heads are better than one. I’ll just skip it Gz.

    Until a few years ago the Isle of Wight had a voltage of 630V which is what the Bakerloo Line (not the shared section) uses to my knowledge. The Watford DC line next to the WCML uses 750V DC, and I suspect the 483 was not set up to use it. I can't be sure, as the SimuGraph setups for quite a few trains in TSW appear to be created out of thin air with little bearing on reality.

    I notice that the 484 actually can operate on wcml. Well actually it can move. But the prompt saying you can’t operate on this route or something like that.

    The 484 should be able to run on the Watford DC line as it uses 750v DC. When they were introduced the Isle of Wight electrification was upgraded to be in line with the rest of the third rail network.

    The 483 and 1938 stock don't work on the watford dc lines. There's sections where it does like Queens Park but most of the line it won't pick up power.
