    Hi,

    Below is a screen shot for the layering pop up on my Birmingham Cross-City route.

    Can anyone explain what the EMT HST is and why it is ticked or even relevant to this route please. I own no layering content for this route (checked against tswtracker) and the fact it is selected by default suggests that it is base layer and comes with the route, but I don't think that can be right. Looking to build out this route with some DLC and therefore trying to understand exactly what is what before I decide what I want. I understand about the GWR HST movements for maintenance that is available it you own a couple of other packs, but don't get this one.

    Thanks

    The EMT HST is the East Midlands Trains HST, from the Midland Mainline. I believe, though don't quote me on this, that it has 1 run in the route. I'm not exactly sure where, I can check it once I'm home.

    Probably either a railtour or a stock move from St. Philips Marsh to Neville Hill or something. You do get these easter eggs in the timetable - maybe the layer screen should come with spoiler warnings.

    I wish that the layers screen could work as some kind of installer.

    So you tick the missing required layers, confirm your selection, and it queues them for download, it would be so much easier to manage this way.

    Would certainly stop confusion around what they layer actually is.
