Which Extended Uk Routes You Would Like To See Most In Tsw4

I like, that idea, but I think going down to St Pancras may be a bit too far for DTG.

 

I'm not sure if DTG are able to go to Abbey Wood, but they may include the Elizabeth line, but they're more likely to extend it to Oxford.

 

I would too.

 

Yeah, I would love to see cities that have never been in TSW. e.g Worcester as you said, Bristol, York etc.

 

With the BML, it maybe a bit too much for DTG to handle.
With ECML, they're more likely to make London-Peterborough as a separate route. They're more likely to extend the current section to York.

 

Cool! But I think it's more logical to end the ECML at York.

 

I completely agree. I'm really surprised York isn't in TSW already.

 

Yeah, I would like to see more routes with variety. e.g. BCC, LGV Marseille-Avignon etc.

 

Yeah, I'll add that now.

 

Of course GWE hindered by the loss of the FGW/GWR licence, unless it was taken back to an earlier era.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a GWR steam era, extended as well.

 

Des trains françaises dans la région grand est

 

1. That’s not an extension to an existing route.
2. Please post in English which is the spoken language on this forum.

 

Why would you expect everyone on this forum to speak english? DTG have made a french route so why shouldnt french be allowed

 

It is clearly stated in the forum CoC that English is the spoken language here. This is not the place to be making nationalistic statements. DTG also make Scottish routes, doesn’t mean they should be discussed in Gaelic!

 

bien dit se son des rasite

 

Well, I would say one route doesn't justify a new forum language to be honest. But continueing by this thinking I wonder why we don't have a german speaking subforum with all the german and since TSW4 even austrian routes, yet.

Jan also can speak german, so no problem from the moderation part I guess.

 

I would still like to see long haul cargo routes in the US. While this is not the right time to talk here, I have said before that launching long-haul cargo routes in the United States is not realistic in the short term. So I hope DTG can open a long-distance cargo route to the United States once a year.

 

I voted ECML to York (though i'd rather south to KGX)

TVL to Bishop Auckland (with updated lighting/scenery and the full timetable could be the best route in the game).

MML to Sheffield- i like this route and want more lol

 

I think ECML Peterborough-King's X is more likely to become a separate route. They're more likely to extend the route to York.

 

Okay, thanks for letting me know Matt.

 

Or you could copy + paste from your language to English and post it on DTG forums.

 

That's a fair point. DTG could auto-translate to whatever language you speak from what another person speaks and the other way round. A lot of websites do that. In fact, I actually may suggest that for the forums.

 

An extension to York would feel a bit pointless really, wouldn't Leeds be better? Then you could have scope for adding a class 321 and the new electric units that run there now.

 

I can see where you're coming from, but there is a route to Leeds already, the Northern TransPennine. And there isn't a route to York yet, and more LNER trains go to York. However, DTG could do both Leeds & York as an extension.

 

Yeah, even if I'm British, I would be happy for other people if they got a type of route they wanted.

 

York should come with a line either to Leeds via Knaresbourough which is a gorgeous route or to Scarborough, it would be nice to see a modern day Leeds with modern rolling stock.

 

Voted ECML north or south , but would also really like BML extension maybe to London Bridge , West Croydon etc .

 

I would really like that as well. The Harrogate Line would be a great way to introduce York to the game. But for York-Scarborough, I'm not sure if DTG has the licence for TPE since TPE is now owned by the UK Government.

 

Yeah, I'll add that now.

 

But you make routes in non english speaking countries so why shouldn’t you expect people from those countries to be on the forums speaking their language. If language barrier is a problem hire people from those countries or tell the mods to right click and press translate?

 

Can you imagine how much more of a jumbled mess the forums would be with various different languages! I mean look at how things are here sometimes now.

And if we had various languages we'd then have the Scouse using their funny words and noises, the South East 'gangsters' with their 'English' mostly comprising of groups of muddled letters and then the Glaswegians might start!

Of course, if you are any of the groups mentioned I am just joking and don't actually care how you talk or where you are from, well unless you are Scouse!

 

I

Isn't LNER also owned by the UK gov?

 

Well, I think that one can make a very tasty meal from the leftovers in the fridge, with a bit of care and creativity. You have a heap of NA locomotives, you have brand licenses, you know the principal signal systems, and at least for parts of the Northeast you've mastered PTC. The right combination of ingredients, made with care, could prove very satisfactory, and I honestly think only the whingeing addicts could compain that it's existing US diesel stock instead of a different but really awfully similar new diesel freight loco. (Of course, at least in theory you could probably get access to a switcher owned by a RR museum/heritage RR; you wouldn't need to record it at high speed! An SW series could be a "new" locomotive)

(Again, I'd hype something of the Keystone Corridor/Harrisburg sort- you have all the bits.)

 

Yes. What I think I meant to say was TPE isn't giving their licence out since Train Simulator Classic.

 

They only extended the HS1 section though. You can't for instance take trains to Dover, Ramsgate, London Victoria or London Charing Cross

 

Also from Gravesend to Dartford.

 

Would rather have the ECML south imo (easier for licensing plus we have enough rolling stock in the game to make it work) only issue is length and station numbers but I would do near anything for a southbound extension imo

 

Couldn't have put it better myself. The only reason I can think of why this isn't being done is that it's not profitable. And there's nowhere to go from there.

 

That could actually be possible. Only need the 717 for a full timetable (which fits with the one train routes we get nowadays) as all others can layer from other routes.

If they did BML, ECML South can't be too far out.

 

Can we have some more votes for MML to Sheffield please? This route is just too short as it is.

Adjust your votes if they're in the <10% range, useless to cry for an SoS extension

 

The only thing about MML is that it’s not an in house route which is primarily what DTG would be looking at. However one would hope the associates also get on board with the notion that extending an older route (which to be fair MML isn’t really yet) is worth looking at, along with some new traction and rolling assets.

 

This thread is great way to narrow down what is most popular and what we would like to see more of.

Skyhook did talk about MML and its potential to grow. The main ask was a 222 and extension to Sheffield.

MML Bedford to St Pancras would be another great one as would use the 700 as well as HST, the lovable rouge that is a 66 (also TSW Rat as appears everywhere) and of course a 45 railtour.

 

Begs the question if they are interested in route building any more, they have their gameplay packs and other games they're working on too, only having made three routes for TSW (did I forget one?). And a nice but low effort TSC route, Livonia Sub plus that Halloween thing. Oh, and NarrowGaugePack is the cute Corris railway. Nice but a quick project.

Checking my TSC Skyhook folder - their specialty has always been rolling stock.

 

As I mentioned about the 1442 though, compared to its TSC equivalent, there is scope to give the existing stock a buff. Or for something like NTP drop in something like a set of Mark Ones reskinned into blue and grey which are still a big gap in the official fleet (giving due credit to the 3rd party reskins that have been done).

However a route like TVL with a Class 56 and the Boulby and Bishop Auckland branch ought to sell like a hot cake.

 

Dunno, I sorely miss the Deltic. I've missed all now withdrawn TSC releases and am stuck with the Kuju model and the RSC DP1 prototype. It's just a majestic Art-Déco loco, that is just not featured as it should be in both games.
