    Does today's update also introduce the new Medway 2025 livery for one of the 395s as well as the new Medway 2025 billboards?

    Does anyone know what train number it is or where the billboards are?

    I was under the impression that the medway 2025 livery is being worked on ( see latest roadmap) and these poster are a way to tease its arrival.

    The newly released patch added the Medway 2025 livery for 395025 and this is what it looks like:

    Not much, just a logo slapped on the side of the train, but something nice to look out for in timetable mode I guess?

    I think Southeastern will apply this decal on 025 in real life from what I remember from a past stream

    Wasn't 395025 named 'Victoria Pendleton'? Is that still the case in addition to this, or has this replaced it?

    Thanks

    She is a real person they need her approval to get her name in the game

    None of the javelins in game have the names or signatures as they do in real life, because DTG would need to go to each person and get their permission to do so, and Matt has said on stream that it wouldn't bring enough to the game to go through the effort of doing so. I agree with his assessment

    Fair enough. I thought I'd heard him mention her in relation to this specific unit which is why I asked the question.

    May well have done when they first raised the point of 025 being the unit in question. I mean it makes sense that 025 is used for something related to 2025 (even if Medway having anything to do with culture is laughable (I live there))

    Hull has two things over Medway. First, it has some culture, second it's actually a city. Neither are true of Medway which has so little culture it's hardly worth mentioning and forgot to fill out the paperwork to retain Rochester as a city and thus became the only place in the UK to ever lose city status (it was given to Newport in 2000)
    Medway Council are trying to make Chatham the city centre in a bid to get it back, unfortunately almost everyone who lives in Medway tries to avoid living or going anywhere near Chatham town centre because it's awful

    Personally I would have been happy with fictional names and signatures.
    Indeed why not the designers?
    Matt P's, Adam's, Tea Boy's and the Colonel's signatures would look authentic.

    After all what's more fictional than describing Medway as a "City of Culture"? Eugh.

    Yep, there was a big laugh about it in the press but it seems that Medway Council wanted to make the whole region (or unitary authority) a city, but it hasn't worked as yet

    Just looked up the area on Google, am I right in saying that'd make Medway one of the biggest cities in the UK by area (possibly even the biggest bar London)?

    Depends on quite a few things.
    First it depends on how you size a city, and then which parts of Medway become part of the City of Medway and which do not
    If you google "Medway Land Area" it comes out as 192 square kilometers, but this includes the Hoo peninsula, isle of grain and loads of other places that definitely don't count as "urban sprawl"
    It also includes the land bridge towards Cuxton which again is rural and is only part of Medway because it follows the river and nobody else wants it

    If you google "UK cities by land area" Medway would be 12th between Edinburgh and Aberdeen, but I would again question whether what google thinks is a city's land area actually is part of said city, and is more likely to be the council influence

    I see, so presumably the city could/would be something like this: upload_2021-3-9_15-47-4.png
    instead of this:

    yeah, something like that
    Funny enough the bit of the M2 from Bluebell Hill onwards isn't even in Medway. For some reason it's in Tonbridge and Malling (neither of which are anywhere near the M2)
