    i think that the extension to Reigate is jusy great for London to Brighton route ? Are there more extensions like this one ?

    There are so many opportunities it seems.

    With all of the TsW 4 grief on PS4 i moved up to a PS5 with dvd drive ... so can run TSW2 !!

    So i can say that TSW2 on PS5 is as great as TS Classic on my 2011 hone-built PC.

    I now have more Classic DLC than PS dlc ?

    How about that, TSW devs team !?!

    There are some but few are sold as extensions anymore, instead they are sold as new versions of the route with more track. This applies to the North London Line, which you can also get as the North London and Goblin Lines, a much larger version of the route. Similarly, you can get the Chatham Main Line and Chatham Main and Medway Valley Lines - note that neither are related to Chatham Main Line - London to Dover and Ramsgate which is a separate route which is larger than both of the other two but cuts out the Medway Valley Line for some reason. Additionally the Steam Workshop has the South Eastern Main Line route which contains most of all three of these routes, plus new content, with the final goal seemingly to have every Southeastern route in London represented.

    South and North Wales Coastal both had extensions available. South Wales Coastal: Bristol to Swansea was an extended version of the route like the others mentioned earlier, while North Wales Coastal: Llandudno to Holyhead was an extension that required the original route to be owned first. Neither are available in their original forms now, so when you buy them they are both upgraded versions of the extended routes. LGV Marseille to Avignon received an extension that requires the base route in the form of LGV Rhones-Alpes. While the original route had some of the best scenery DTG have ever done at the expense of a short route length (based on journey time), the new track from the extended version has slightly worse scenery but is 200 miles long.

    If you also have the south London Network, you can go on the workshop and get the South London to Brighton network, which effectively merges the 2 together.

    Which also has Reigate and Hove too (not of course to say bad things about Rivet's route - I'm not that sort of person :) )

    Funnily enough I bought the Reigate extension the other day (which annoyingly triggered a file verification) and thought it was alright, certainly better than the TSW version of Reigate and roughly equal in scenery quality to the rest of the route. The only annoyance I have for it is that it isn't a scenery extension for the original route and is its own separate route (I haven't driven on the original for a long time so it might not even have been possible to do it the way I wish it was) - partly as a result AP signals don't work on it so I have to put up with the ugly DTG ones instead.
