    If you want it, then get it now irrespective of the reviews. Longest route in the game, what more to do want. Drive from London to Carlisle soon too.

    If only AAS had recent experience in creating a UK diesel, huh?

    ‘irrespective of the reviews’- that’s not the approach i’d take. reviews exist for a reason, i want to buy trent valley as well but i'm mindful of what potential issues could occur so i’m waiting to see what others find before spending £33. i’d much prefer to do that than go in blindly and not be able to get a refund if it is broken

    DTG will fix any issues you have. Excellent long route with places to route hop too.

    Ive bought routes from release and there have been nothing but issues so im being mindful £33 is alot to pay if the route isnt working properly so i will just hold off and see how it runs on console first

    l agree there are issues with every release, always have been, nothing is perfect with DTG. Any issues l have had l report to support and it’s been quickly resolved. This route opens up so many possibilities that l am sure will be worth it. I bought this morning and am pleased l did so.

    I was at the purchase option on the PSN app, but changed my mind. I’m worried this route is going to be a bland ECML style route with little traffic. I’ll remain optimistic though and wait for people’s feedback.

    yeah I get where you're coming from but I think it seems a lot better and more engaging than ECML. more layers, stations and services, more variety in rolling stock and services as well as 4-tracks all the way. As well as the clever route hopping with WCMLS. With that said I am holding off on it until I can fit it in my budget.

    So who makes the feedback if everybody is waiting for peoples feedback? ;)

    Im not falling for hypes anymore, ill skip the feedback right away until the dlc is 80% off. Have to get my money back for all the frustration, annoyance over the years because the unquestionable lack of quality control on the side of dtg.

    Despite that, i hope the route lives up to its promises and potential. If AAS went the extra mile and the dlc delivers 120%, i might reconsider.

    Exactly this. £33 is not cheap, a big chunk of what’s in my Steam Wallet so I will wait and see what’s said, particularly when the Steam version unlocks later. Yes I know you can get a refund (!) but that’s not without consequences either if you do it too often.

    No Mastery for this route, or has it just not gone live yet?

    I have hardly played ECML but this does look like it will be more immersive with more variety. Plus Crewe is a better end point than Doncaster. I will get it going on the couple of streams I've watched. I've hardly bought anything lately.

    However with the JT route seemingly also imminent I'll likely get that first as I don't fancy spending over £60 in the same month.

    In terms of scenery foliage OHLE and track design I’ll say this, Trent valley looks really really good

    But there seem to be a lot of blurry, too. Considering the few posts in the feedback thread all talk about that. ;-)

    Good question, one I've asked myself, and I'll have the answer tonight on PC (or one of these days if I have enough time).
    I'll be sure to let you know unless someone else does it first.
    This is an important (even crucial) point regarding this route.

    At this point as a console user, I can only laugh when a route released 24 hours after this statement, in relation to blurry textures: “we're happy to have made progress, and many of our recent releases have proven that we can work to mitigate this issue” - is subject to that very issue.

    Of course though you can’t really blame DTG or the third parties anymore, people are still happy to buy it the minute it drops.
