    One thing I would say, is having seen the price for TF3 (which looks like it might be above my CPU pay grade), the TSW7 Deluxe pack pricing starts to look a little more reasonable. The full price of TF3 will be £45, so £40.50 for TF2 owners.

    If this ICE1 is in the package does that mean it comes with announcements?

    Yeah I'm warming to this route. I was probably unfair on it - looking forward to it.

    I'm getting Monty Python vibes from this Dovetail Direct. I wonder if they bottle and sell the water in the Chatham area? I wouldn't mind trying it myself... :D

    Thanks for that.

    I guess it's fair enough if the game is struggling already. And they appear to be adjustable settings, which we don't get in console.

    A bit disappointed to see not much new German stuff besides the new route and loco, the rest was announced already some time ago.

    Not the first time a junction just like this appears in a German route. Hope this gets fixed before release.

    Day one purchase for me.

    As for the ATS Kings Cross route. I'm not touching that with a barge pole.

    I don't think any of the hosts acknowledged it verbally, but there was a ti-i-iny image present.

    Just caught up, I know the free starter pack means no excuse for not upgrading but does also seem a little annoying given it was just about to be released for TSW6

    The whole take a ticket was massively disappointing for me! Where’s the Class 70 and the Richmond extension. I don’t think I’ll be picking any of those products announced sadly. Why isn’t BML being remastered?

    Might mean they are releasing before TSW 7?

    Zandvoort suggests it's via Haarlem rather than via Schiphol (which would fit with the worries about underground stations), but both would be nice.

    Wow, I never thought there’d be so many great announcements. Finally, Nuremberg–Würzburg – I know it’s not to everyone’s taste, but I’ve been hoping for this for years. The same goes for the ICE 4 and, above all, the Railjet. Thank you so, so much, TSG team I love you for this. And wow, Amsterdam that’s so cool. And a new country with Romania really cool. I think, all in all, this is my favourite year for TSW. Hopefully the improvements to live quality will make a difference this time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

    I wasn't expecting much, so pleasantly surprised. Some much requested new features like real time weather and safety systems able to be switched on as well as a AI conductor. Plus I thought I was dreaming when I saw NTP remaster. Birmingham to Shrewsbury as well, love to see Shrewsbury in the sim. All the core routes look interesting. I was sceptical about the UK route but it looks like a good network. Plus Cumbrian coast not far off it seems. Plus the new expert Railjet. It's good to see more new developers and another new country. Also was pleased to see a new Dutch route.

    But they also said Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury.
    Brum ain't Wolves ain't Brum!
    So which is it?

    It said Birmingham to Shrewsbury unless I'm going mad. I haven't been drinking. They have already built Birmingham to Wolverhampton so I imagine they'll use that part.

    bit underwhelmed tbh. amazed there's no south west, not even further down the line. the base UK and german routes will be decent but wasn't a huge amount in take a ticket that massively appealed to me aside from amsterdam and the brum-shrewsbury route. the new features are very meh...but the default safety systems a long overdue but welcome addition though

    wasn't the portuguese route part of last year's take a ticket too?

    funny how they mentioned the romanian route being a 'long term project'. what are we thinking...TSW9 or 10?

    What happenend to redownloading everything every year and including certain waggons in the core? I thought these two things would be a topic for TSW 7. Nothing was mentioned in the direct about both of these.

    The game barely runs on the consoles anyway, let us PC users have something for the extra money we spend on our builds.
