US: SPG, no US freight route has surpassed it yet. BPE is very good and NYT would be if the real timetable ever shows up. UK: TVL, NTP because, for me, they're quintessentially British. DE: DRA
I only play UK routes but my choice is GWE. It is a superb route (also my local one) only let down by the lack of the branch lines and various dlc classes.
UK: Still GWE; I like its variety of stock including Diesel Legends DE: Ruhr-Sieg Nord; one of the earliest German routes I played and enjoyed in red boxes US: Sand Patch Grade for personal reasons; my dad worked his whole life at CSX and predecessors
UK: Sehs, it has an incredible amount of variety. US: not sure on this one but probably Nyt after the timetable update releases. DE: Dra, same reason as Sehs.
DE: Dresden - Riesa I love the Variety and the beautifull scenery of Meißen. UK: Liverpool - Crewe Steam Trains at full Speed are best. US: I don´t play the US Content.
East Coastway in the UK- its a pretty part of England and has a mix of high and low speed stuff. For the class 66 its got a really nice simple short route that can be mastered without the hud so is nice and immersive too. I havent come across any bugs on the route so I recommend it for anyone wanting to route learn something easier.
Edinburgh to Glasgow Only route I've been on irl that's in tsw. Very fun to drive Has announcements wich are my favourite feature. I like the class 385! It's in Scotland!
UK: SEHS - best route by far, good length, great variety, great trains. US: Harlem or Sand Patch Grade. DE: Nahverkehr Dresden
West Somerset Great Western Express Birmingham Cross City Reason. I have lived on the route and they all have been lovingly created Worst has to be West Cornwall Local. Reason I also have lived on the branch line and the scenery is appalling. Whereas the other three resemble the route design of WCL doesn’t inspire me at all. It totally misrepresents the route and is certainly NOT a labour of love. US Boston German Niddertalbahn
UK: London Commuter -busiest timetable. actually, has complete services like Brighton,Gatwick,Reigate US: Harlem Line- busy timetable captures all services from Harlem and Hudson line DE: Dresden-Riesa night lighting is amazing
Given the number of votes for Brighton Mainline, Riesa-Dresden and Boston-Providence, it seems like Rush Hour two years ago represents the peak of TSW, at least so far.
It does, despite the fact that BML still doesn't have " Rush Hour " passengers ( and likely never will now ), DRA was incomplete for a while and, as Blacknred81 says, BPE was seriously flawed for almost 2 years after launch. Despite these shortcomings, those three routes were the last real bang for the buck.
