    What route should
    I play?


    I know this is a pointless thread but I'm wondering what route you guys think I should play. I'm just looking for some advice.
    I play TSW3 and these are the routes I have:
    • Great Western Express
    • Arosaline
    • Boston Sprinter
    • Cathcart Circle Line
    • East Coastway (with class 313)
    • Isle of Wight 2022
    • LGV Mèditerranèe
    • London Commuter
    • London Underground Bakerloo Line
    • Long Island Rail Road
    • Luzern Sursee
    • Main-Spessart Bahn
    • Nahverkehr Dresden
    • Northern Trans Pennine
    • Schnellfahrstrecke Köln
    • Spirit of Steam Liverpool - Crewe
    • West Cornwall Local
    • Cajon Pass
    • Schnellfahrstrecke: Kassel - Würzburg
    • Southeastern High Speed Extended
    • Training Centre
    I play on Xbox One S so layers are limited.
    Please only suggest services and not creators club content or dovetail scenarios.

    Not helpful. Please select a route or service you most enjoy that you would recommend to me.

    Do an NTP service from Leeds to Manchester in a peak and listen to the thrash.

    What about using the Quick Play function in-game?

    I'm looking to hear about the best services from the people who play them. The quick play function just puts you in a random service

    There’s a whole thread of awesome services that gets added to all the time. That’s all you need for starters. Type ‘awesome’ into the forum search and it’s sure to come up. Do this after driving the Class 45.

    I think the problem is that you are asking what we would like to play rather than what you would like to play, which only you would know. We all have different tastes.

    You own all these routes. Why not have a play and have fun finding out for yourself. Otherwise there’s no point in having bought them.

    I personally really like the BML services that join at Haywards Heath. I like coupling one train to another and then driving the combined train into Victoria. If you have the time, and have something else to do during the waits, one of my favorites is 5A99 followed by 1A99 which then combined with 1F01. You'll need about two hours, but that's mainly due to a half hour wait at Brighton between 5A99 and 1A99. If you don't want to wait as long, start with 1A99.

  13. Bml 5b90 pt4 in the 313 is a good run.

    I would do that but due to the fact I don't have a next gen console layers don't really work so I'm unable to play that service.

    TSW3 has the built in randomiser so if you're not working on Journey or Mastery just click that!

    I just downloaded the Cathcart circle today, it's not bad for being on sale but I'd feel a bit aggrieved if I'd paid full price tbh. I have a lot of the UK routes you mention and I like running a class 166 or 101 on transpennine route
