    I see this route has had 30% knocked off on Steam and wondered what sort of state it is in now. I have a fairly good PC and wanted to ask if there are still unsolved problems which I should be aware of before jumping in.

    I can't think of anything majorly wrong with the route off the top of my head, just nitpicks.

    Yeah works very good and a lot of layers makes it very good.

    I'm on PC and it's one of my favourite routes. As a local they have captured the Birmingham to Wolverhampton section very well.

    Bad news usually travels faster than good news so on that basis thank you for the positive reports, I'm sold and downloading it now.

    Have fun! You can always ask for a refund when you didn't like it!

    i have it on PS5 and it IS very solid, nothing majorly wrong i can think of just small silly bugbears.
    really good layers, really good variety and really good level of route detail

    Haven't had time to drive the entire route from Birmingham to Crewe but having travelled roughly half way it looks good and I'm very pleasantly surprised how little stuttering there has been for a first time run.

    I was happy with it until static trains went missing the 86/87 services were removed.

    EDIT: One of my biggest gripes with the route is the lack of paths for scenario editor at New Street and Crewe. But then it's par for the course with TSW.

    Nice to hear! The problems are more console related. So be more carefull with opinions. The most users are console players so very diffrent then PC players

    Same here. The game ran at a steady 40–50 FPS with fewer stutters than I expected during my first ride.
