    I like to invite you to rewatch the December roadmap stream go to 1:10.36 and listen to Matt say the blurry textures won't/can't take sevral months to fix and needs to be done ASAP.

    Well we are now several months and are yet to see 1 fix to older routes.

    As they say in todays roadmap since things seem pretty good with recent routes they are on the right track. Yet we get blurry textures on Stamford and MVL on Series X.

    I have a feeling this will never be fixed and we are just being strung along now.

    I'm curious how much in and around the stations will be walkable for Thames Valley branches. At Windsor you you basically walk into a shopping centre when hopping off the train before heading to the castle. Marlow and Henley are also quite picturesque.

    I don't understand the Thames Branches at all tbh.
    Surely they should just be added on to GWE? That would have been amazing imo! Pass for me unless i'm fundamentally misunderstanding something.

    Tadami looks amazing hoping we see it in TSW6 but 7 seems more likely. Portugal route looking good too imo.

    Cargo line 6 absolutely keep 'em coming

    Midmay extension i'm very hyped for!

    Class 90 will sub but will we have received an update for it by then? Totally absent on the roadmap guess uploading that correct build is more challenging than we'd expect lmao.

    The stuff from HiS i'm gonna have to wait for player reviews. I want to believe but the Santa Fe pack was awful.

    And some tiny crumbs that Stamford might get a tiny patch relatively soon. Maybe. Lol.

    Perhaps never before have players been so eagerly awaiting the arrival of a pack that is typical for other packs as the Class 66. ;)

    assuming that Johannes has done the work to create a 165 / convert it from a 166, hopefully a trailer car will be included, so that correctly modelled 3 car 165/1s will appear on GWE in place of the ‘renumbered’ 166s.

    Hopefully the 165 will also be used to replaced the 166s used on Mildmay to represent the Chiltern services.

    Maybe it's odd because no one did it before, but I quite like the idea of 3 branch lines in one pack. Branch lines can have such a charm and 3 in 1, even better.

    Nice to see Thames Branches. Shame about the GWR not being represented between the three branches though. That would have made it more interesting for me. I'll probably wait until there's a sale personally though as a result.

    Even release dates a few weeks before is already problematic with delays and bugs, so announcing them more early only gives them more reason to rush stuff to keep that date.

    I see loading times are also mentioned. Is this for the game loading? I've no way of proving it, but it has taken 6 minutes and 44 seconds to load up TSW6 on my PS5. The DLCs I have are all the UK ones (except for the 90). This is frankly, appalling. Screenshot_20260505-191332.png

    Never mind the rest of it. You had me at the Marlow branch :). I can now recreate my journey to and from work in a particularly happy time of my life in the 80s. Bourne End to Reading, changing to GWE at Maidenhead. Nice picture of Bourne End bridge BTW.

    If we get sometime in the future another class 66 , it better be an expert one. I would like to see a fully functional EM2000 and a walkable engineroom

    Windsor would be good. Unfortunately the town of Marlow is a bit of a walk from the station so it is unlikely this would feature. A shame as it has an iconic suspension bridge across the river. The best we could hope for is a pint at the Marlow Donkey pub opposite the station. :D

    Changing the points at Bourne End will be interesting especially given that this is done by the guard in real life so could feature as part of guard mode.

    I just scrolled past everything after seeing a brief glimpse of a class 165. Great. Another reskin. Nothing new. New locos please.

    At least there are actual differences made for the class 165 that distinguish it from class 166, unlike the GBR class 802 that is literally just a reskin.

    Edit: The autocorrect... just love it...

    Had hoped (although not expected !) to see something on the ScotRail HST.
