    Specifically, on the Xbox Store, both Harlem Line and East Coastway are now priced at £29.99.
    Previously, they were always £24.99 and I don't think it is correct to be charging more for old add ons that do not benefit from any of the new features of the game.

    Hopefully this is an error and not the beginning of a worrying trend. In my opinion, the very old content should be lowered in price, given that some of it clearly does not hold up to current standards (LIRR for example).

    ECW is very good and I enjoy the route. But its not worth £30 imo :)
    Especially as the scenery etc are a little dated now.

    I haven’t noticed that, can’t see how it should go up in price the older it gets..

    According to the store it’s still the same. (See post below)

    Ahh I see, the tsw4 one has gone up

    I think buying the old still grants access to the new, so if you want to save don’t buy the new

    I’m going to leave a way to for DTG-Chris to see this, I think they may be the best one to clarify what should be happening on this.

    Thank you for letting us know - this isn't correct. We've informed the team - I'll update this thread when it's amended.

    When it says that ECW is TSW4 compatible then what does that mean?
    I have tried to create a scenario for it with chained paths and, although the system appears to accept it, any services doing a "return" journey (AI or Player) open the doors on the wrong side of the train at all station stops.
    See image below. (The 377 is AI coming back from Brighton).
    (A player service also appeared to collect a tail lamp underneath when reversing?)
    Surely this can't be correct?

    TSW4 compatible means that you can play it on TSW4, but it won't have the full TSW4 feature set. There's a guide here for what features you can expect from each piece of content: https://dovetailgames.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/80001072374

    Chained paths on Scenario Planner aren't supported, for instance, on anything currently that isn't a TSW4 core route (there may be older routes in which it is possible to do, but you might run into issues).

    I had ECW on PC but now play on Xbox series X. It's a great route that I would love DTG to revamp and repackage for TSW4 with the class 313 add on included. It would be worth £29.99 then.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Although it's now obvious I hadn't realised that both the item of stock and the route would need to be compatible.
    I'll have a "play" on a "blue" route and see what happens there.
