Ecml (east Coast Main Line): London To Doncaster

(Before People say that this route is too long, Dovetail could always split the route in 2)

This route would include the 146 Mile stretch of the ECML from London to Doncaster + Moorgate Branch. The route would be set in 2019 when the Class 800s were being introduced and Class 717 was entering service. The

Included Stock:
HST
Class 91
Class 365
Class 313

DLC:
Class 801
Class 387
Class 700/717
Class 180

Overall, this route would be a Good addition. The included stock then the DLC would provide great variety. The 700 would be able to be layered to SEHS and BML, with the 180 being layerable (is that a word?) to GWE (with the right livery)

 

It would be too long. I don't think having the route released into two parts is a good idea, mainly because time could be better spent on the other half having an entirely new and separate route elsewhere. I think if the ECML was included, Kings Cross to Peterborough would be a logical start (even that though is quite long itself, roughly 72 miles I believe?) but as you say, some decent rolling stock and services available.

Maybe in the future, more parts of the ECML, like that up to Doncaster etc can be included as new routes later on. I strongly believe that existing TSW 2 routes should be linked to some newer routes (not route mergers, but share a common location like with Brighton on ECW and LC), thus having more layers from the same rolling stock and/or AI etc.

 

I agree. I do think that Dovetail should try with longer routes though. It does confuse me how dovetail can develop long routes in TS Classic but not TSW (York to Newcastle being a Key example)

 

Making routes in TS is way more easy then in TSW, its less detailed and track laying is lot easier then it is in UE. UE is really complicated, thats why there are shorter routes in TSW but (imo) they are lot better and more detailed then TS ones

 

Thanks I get it now

 

London - Peterborough would be a good start and it would have some nice variety if Moorgate branch and Hertford Loop Line were also included. Some services also run into London St Pancras as well as London Kings Cross.

 

Kgx to pbo +1

 

Broken down into two sections 76 miles Peterborough London King's Cross and 80 miles Peterborough Doncaster.
DLC 717 because DTG will plan Class 700 as part of Rush Hour train pack with DB BR 411. My suggestion Rush Hour Train pack had Avelia Liberty Boston-Providence Class 700 BML which is layered to this route and Riesa-Dresden ICE-T .

 

One word. Deltic.

 

route in ts are really detailled especiallythird party and even DTG chatham mainline dover ramsgate
building routes in ts still takes months
/maybe DTG should get an actual game engine that is not complicated for everything and is based around simulation.

 

Yes yes yes. DLoEC with the Deltics is a must do option.

 

would they add an add on to this route like the Flying Scotsman and the Mallard and the Deltic's Class 55

 

North from London is the only direction not really covered yet
