Hi, Chris here. I´m here to tell something that I don´t look right and is that in Train Sim World 2, I always drive in the East Coastway route. I select Timetable Mode and I took the Brighton to Hastings (via Eastbourne) timetable, so when It loads they appear me 4 coaches but, in Train Sim World 2020, the train has 8 coaches in the exact same timetable. So, what I´m trying to say is that dovetail games has to (if they can) update all the routes of the preserved collection so, they can be exactly the same as the ones in Train Sim World 2020. Thanks and bye.
The changes made to ecw is real life. In reality, 4 car trains. Tsw2020 has been dead since tsw2 came out. It is no longer being supported. If you want the updates, you will have to upgrade to tsw2 or tsw3. Tsw3 already has the preservation crew upgrades so it's better to just buy that.
The 8 car trains weren't realistic. When Adam did research on the route when the preserved update came out, he said you would commonly see 4 car trains. 8 car trains were either rare or didn't run on the line. So the 4 car consist is the more realistic one.
