North London Line Capitalstar 378?

Discussion in 'TSW General Discussion' started by SD40Australia, Feb 19, 2024.

  1. Are the 378s still used on the Stratford to Richmond section (I assume that is the whole line?) on North London Line these days?

    As in the Train Simulator Classic route?

    Do we already have the 378 on BMM or SEHS?

    Yes they are still there.
    No we have never had them in TSW (sadly).

  3. Ok but aren't some rolling stock in those routes also OHLE equipped?

    Indeed.

    The Class 378/1s have third rail shoes.

    The Class 378/2s are dual-voltage units (they have a pantograph and third rail shoes).

    378 will most likely be the UK loco of a future loco bundle but we'll have to wait and see since there's so many options now for that thanks to the ECML...

    The Class 700 is dual voltage. The Class 395 is also dual-voltage, and it actually uses both. Not sure why this was worth mentioning, but here we are.

    I’m too sure how likely another Electrostar will se its debut in TSW, the community has made it pretty clear its stance on them, but if one were to come I’d rather it be a 357, something a little different.

    There are so many other different locos and units which would make a better DLC on other routes and bring something different to the game, rather than another flavour of Electrostar.

    Yes I think its 378/2 that are dual voltage and 378/1 that are DC only.
    378s are used on NLL,SLL,ELL,WLL
