It's still exactly the same route that was available 3 years ago via UKTS and other popular TS freeware resource sharing sites. You perhaps should also point out that some 80+ additional files are needed for the route to work, including 10 or so Karma999 & DPS files kindly available on the DPSimulation website for download; the other 70 or so UKTS named files largely still found on the UKTrainSim site.

Note, the upload of said route route on a popular Dutch freeware site (a key Dutch Railworks community site) could hardly be described as illegal, at the very worst it may be considered bad form by whoever uploaded it there, should the route author have never wanted this. If that's what happened, I would always strongly recommend out of polite courtesy the uploader first contacts the respective author for their kind "permission" (which 9 times out of 10 an author will happily give if reasonably asked). However, I should point out the author never made any such requests or caveats on the initial upload of the route to UKTS, just as their are no similar type caveats of any kind with the 'new' re-upload of the route on UKTS. This is an entirely freeware route hosted on the Web that depends on many other creator produced assets to make it work. I point this out because a similar recent thread on this forum, inadvertendly suggests a number of misperceptions.

Anyway hope, those that manage the marathon of file downloads for The Estwaite Branch, very much enjoy this fine route. Kind regards.

Forgive me, without wishout to facetious, but what am I supposed to see? Everything I wrote stands. It's exactly the same route of 3 years ago, the same on that is on the Treinpunt.nl site as was noted several weeks ago (which was harshly/incorrectly called illegal). Pluse the route does also require many further asset downloads as I've also pointed out is the case, to make it work. The many extra files are given a txt readme file with the main .rwp download for the route. All the best.

I really don't want to complain - but how many threads do we need about this particular route? I have counted about 4 different threads all with the same basic information - a route that is a personal favorite of some but does it necessitate multiple threads?

63 exactly

I downloaded and installed all but 4 dependencies. And apparently, all 4 are needed to work the route. Gong by their file ID numbers, 29428, 28205, 27068 couldn’t be found on UK TrainSim, and 27139 got blocked by my antivirus detector. I also can't access dereksiddle’s website to get the AP station pack. According to the link in the manual, the URL for that website can't be found.

The AP station pack is bundled with many routes available on Steam so you should probably have that already

I don't have the files 29428, 28205 or 27068 and I run the route without noticing anything missing so they shouldn't be important.

27139 is the UKTS wagon pack, you could try disabling your anti virus software before downloading it.

Is there a way I can actually remove those missing things from the route's main list of requirements to run, or something?

The route will load fine without issue, it just won't display the assets it can't find. It's possible these were assests that the author has removed from UKTS or they have been re-uploaded with a different file id.

It's quite common with Freeware routes that there may be a few bits and bobs that I don't have or can't find but it's usually fine if it's only somethign small.

If you have RWtools that might provide a clue to what the missing assets are if you're trying to track them down.

I found an easier way. When loading the route, when it says what it failed to load, all i have to do is click F2 and then save. Because of that, I was able to get in the route and drive all the way to Esthwaite.
