    What would make this route perfect is driving a Class 373 Eurostar to the channel tunnel.

    It hadn't happened to me in ages, but admittedly I hadn't been on SEHS in ages...

    I understand that the class 66 has near vertical windows and a roof overhang, but no rain effects appear on the windows, this then breaks immersion by having the wiper on unnecessarily to avoid losing points.

    Jut the EWS one from SEHS, I'll admit I haven't tried it on any other versions, but the last time I checked the PBD version was functioning fine

    I'm pretty sure the SEHS one should have the rain effects.. the SEHS one was the first one to be reworked I believe... (new sounds, better textures etc etc)

    I always use the SEHS 66 on the route. I haven't done any 66 services in a while though, but I do remember rain effects being there.

    Any chance of fixing the collectible counters, I know it doesn’t impact the game bur it’s so annoying.

    Always nice to be surprised;
    I.C.E 3 at St Pancras, with two class 43 trainsets smoking away nearby.
    Cool and hilarious at the same time.
    Thanks to those that added it.

    New layer dated October.
    Bought the TGV for layers, haven't seen one yet devadatta.
    Happy to see the I.C.E.
    The South East high-speed is a great route.
    By the way;if you want the Full Bakerloo and Sand patch and your on Steam,you can get TSW 2 for £14.99 on steam and it'll automatically add the routes to 5.
    Tried it yesterday thinking I'd get a refund if it doesn't work.
    Worked fine.
    Might be gone once this is read by Dtg towers

    The TGV only appears between March and April. Four playable services (two per direction) and one AI service.

    Also, the ICE can be seen in November as well.

    Thanks Jack, that's helpful.
    There's a few runs on the timetable for the TGV which is nice to run something different now and again.

    What time did you spot him at the station? Maybe I'll take a look, too.
    Planning on buying Bakerloo and TSW 2, but will wait for the discount at this point. TSW 2 hasn't been discounted for quite a while, by the way:(. Now I ride WCML and Cathcart Circle, SeHS put aside, have only done a couple of timetables on Class 66.

    Just saw a short video of the ICE at Stratford (more like it's a preview of the sound mod). To be honest I didn't realise is this really a new layer or has it been before?

    Surely an update on this is well worth it? An extension to the route? Eurostar services? New scenarios? I know there sre so many new DLCs coming and in the pipeline but what about developing & upgrading what we already have? GSM dont work on the 375/395s

    No more updates to this route.

    It's already been extended once (read that as rebuilt from scratch), not going to be again. Eurostar is out of the question due to licensing.

    And if the TSC version is anything to go by, the missing sections aren't that interesting. Maybe the London end into Charing Cross or Victoria but it's going to be a slow crawl and bus stop section. While Faversham down to the coast seemed to be mostly fairly straight and in steep sided cuttings. Not much to see.

    The route is basically maxed out. See the Roadmap article where it was discussed just how many services were stuffed into the post-Cl700 timetable, including railtours. It's a gem of a route and there's more risk to touching it at this point, than opportunity for gain.

    The Southeastern Metro network (London to Dartford) could easily be a TSW route in itself (given recent route sizes, I fear it wouldn't even come with all 3 branches if made now.... :(), and has been suggested numerous times in the Suggestions forum.

    There's still loads of services I haven't touched since the TSW3 days, simply because there's too much already, plus other routes in my collection.

    Can confirm this still happens.

    Tried 5 times and it spawned me at:
    • Chatham
    • The unused sidings between Northfleet and Gravesend
    • Chatham again
    • Rochester
    • Rochester again
    It doesn't always happen though, I've completed the service at least once so it can be completed. It's just a matter of luck whether or not you get spawned in the train.

    So I had some time to try this tonight and restarted the service for 10 minutes unfortunately unable to get spawned into the 66.

    I did however find a work around. If you spawn into the service and instantly go to the map and fast travel to Dartford you can take over the 66 service before the AI starts it. Although upon doing this is, it does tell you that the journey will be ended. Despite this I still played and finished the service with Gold and it still ticked the chapter off on journey mode unlocking the last one. So it does count towards the journey :)

    Any chance of getting Eurostar AI (or skin on an existing similar looking loco) to run down the Line, the HS section feels so empty, let alone the lifeless ST Pancras and will add to the players immersive experience..

    No, unfortunately. Never.

    Although, instead of the TGV having a couple of seasonal services, they could have used it to represent the Eurostar services year round.

    Anyone else notice about an hour after gameplay if you look on your map there are loads of trains backed up at Ashford international?

    I've done free roam different times of the day and even a time table route and trains are still getting stuck.

    Anyone got any idea on this?

    I have seen this too recently. Got stuck while driving a Javelin service from St Pancras to Ashford. A train seems to get stuck, which has a knock on effect of other trains bunching up. Of course deleting the stuck train helps, but it is indeed a bug.

    Still appears to be bugged on the 8th gen install.
    Both reduced and full timetable are doing the weirdness with the 700/465/375.

    It isn't an issue on my PS5 install so either memory limitations or the way the layers system is on the PS4 is broken.

    the issue seems to be with the 700 as with this not installed (not disabled but uninstalled) SEHS will give me all my additional layers as per usual when playing but once the 700 is installed no amount of toggling layers will let the 700/465/375 all exist in service at the same time.

    Weird.... Weird..

    Yes, I have noticed this, too.

    Even with ONLY SEH installed, the game starts playing funny games. Spawn in a 395 and there are no 375/465 services

    It is now easy to spot with the interactive 2D map, showing all departures.

    Even my weird layer shenanigans don't work anymore. SEHS with no DLC is fine, SEHS with the RHTT and ROG is fine, SEHS with layers from other routes is fine. The 700/0 seems to be the DLC that brakes it.

    Also turning off every layer available to turn off, including Ashford AI, Sheppey AI, RHTT, ROG, Freight (MFA/JNA) etc, with the 700/0 being the only layer remaining doesn't fix the issue.

    There is absolutely no way possible by any combination of install/layers to have the 465/375/700/395 active at the same time, even with the 66, 37/7 and all other layers disabled on the reduced timetable and with no other routes or DLC installed.

    It's a shame as SEHS is still one of the best modern UK routes to date (if not the best at least top 3)

    I also tried out a lot of stuff over the weekend. TSW5 - no way. TSW4 - works with very few DLCs, but LGV and NTP immediately break the 700 layer (probably also TVL and the 31). So right now I am back to TSW3 with only SEH, GWE and the 700. No frills, but it runs stable and relatively smooth.

    Might probably have used TSW4 as well in that combination but did not see any advantage.

    I can spawn in free roam on this route an 8 coach 395 or an 801 but apparently a 2 coach 150 from tfw doesn’t fit in this scenario but the rr 150 does fit.
