The clue is in the Headcode, also known as a Train Reporting Number. The first digit of the headcode relates to the train class, match the digit to the numbered list below:

1. Express passenger train; nominated postal or parcels train; breakdown or overhead line equipment train going to clear the line (headcode 1Z99); traction unit going to assist a failed train (1Z99); snow plough going to clear the line (1Z99)
2. Ordinary passenger train; Officers’ special train (2Z01)
3. Freight train if specially authorised; a parcels train; autumn-railhead treatment train; empty coaching stock train if specially authorised
4. Freight train which can run up to 75 mph
5. Empty coaching stock train
6. Freight train which can run up to 60 mph
7. Freight train which can run up to 45 mph
8. Freight train which can run up to 35 mph
9. International Eurostar passenger train; other passenger train if specially authorised
0. Light locomotive or locomotives

It was actually published 3 days ago.



Total is about 300 services give or take, counting glitched services that can't be completed, as usual. Question is how long will they be. A service in CSX is about 2 hours most of the time, here they seem to be 30 to 60 minutes each.

In any case, it seems GWE does have more content (if you're fine driving 229 times the same service at different hours, that is) any way you look at it. Just a shorter route, which is kind of a shame.

I bet the second British route will be London to Brighton which would turn into the Gatwick express (hopefully not).

There are talks about extensions to this route in the future, keep an eye out for that!

talks in the community, not at DTG. And if they say "we'll consider it", remember they are considering 2000+ propositions of routes from the community, yet releasing all the time the same british locomotive on the same piece of track.

Besides, an expansion would be paid anyway, so if they start slicing up routes in two and charging double....better just go back to TS.

Only as far as Reading? I take it route lenght is more restricted in TSW.

Don't think there's any particular restriction with the unreal engine.... Probably just that it takes longer to map out a route with the level of detail now possible and they wanted to release something sooner rather than later.

Either way, looking at the timetable, it should make for some decent length scenarios, 30min-1hr

[CrazyGecko]

Hopefully once there's a few routes out they'll increase the size of future ones.

there is no restriction to how big a route can be in TSW it just takes longer to build routes in the unreal 4 engine due to the level of detail extentions have not been ruled out

Personally, I'd gladly take a shorter route with heavier traffic and more interesting signaling than the ones we have in Heavy Haul. More frequent stops at stations and/or red lights will keep you on your toes, while in CSX, you generally just have to look out for your speed, and that's it... Which is understandable considering the route: there is very little variation in what can be done in HH and this was my main gripe with it (along with the throttle behavior).

I think (and hope) this passenger route will be much more interesting than what we had in CSX: HH.

I think their the ones that go between ealing and reading non-stop.

Might help if you go through what nickhawk put up earlier and find services with 4,5,6,7 or 8 as the first digit in the train code.

Yeah, Thanks very much. I just realised that all 3 timetables are intergrated and not separate as I first thourght. I think I will try and separate them out into 3 different timetables or at least colour code the columns into classes of train for ease.

All GWE freight trains are with 4xxx in the timetable and you see it as they only have one stop at the final destination and are starting or ending at Ealing Broadway.
