ECW: Coastal Explorer Achievement Guide

We return to Britain with the fast track to all 50 jobs on the East Coastway route. Whether you have just 1 to find or haven't even started looking, there's no faster way to find them all!

Introduction

East Coastway changes things up quite a bit! Sure, it's the first present-day UK route in an eternity, but for the first time since Ruhr Sieg Nord, there aren't 100 jobs! With only a mere 50 jobs to collect, still with 4 different types as usual, finding everything here is quite a bit easier than usual. Not even the addition of a branch line can make it too hard.

As a passenger-focused route, nearly all of these jobs are at stations, which only makes finding them all that much simpler. Of course, a few aren't at a station, and those are covered here.

Find one of those all stops trains, and come along for the search.

Here from XBOX or PS4? As I have been told, collectables are exactly the same on PC or console, feel free to share this guide to anyone on consoles!

The Jobs

Route Maps

Route maps. Can't go without them on a passenger route, and East Coastway is no exception.

Same story as usual. Look for big white rectangular boards on walls in stations-that's a route map.

Uncollected

Collected

Surprise surprise, the route maps are more numerous than the other jobs. You have 15 maps to find, out of the total 50.

Ticket Machines

The ticket machine returns from San Francisco, granted, looking a bit different than last time.

Just like on Caltrain, you need to look for a black bag covering a tall object on a passenger platform. These are often found next to existing ticket machines.

Uncollected

Collected

The ticket machines account for 10 of the 50 jobs.

Fence Holes

Now they call these fence hole repairs, but this isn't your MSB fence hole. Instead of a hole, the fence is all mangled and vandalized.

These aren't as hard to spot as the MSB fences. Even before collecting it, caution tape has been put up. Look for that along fences near stations and you'll be fine.

Uncollected

Collected

Like the route maps, these fences are also fairly common, as there are 15 to find.

Bicycle Maintenance Points

The new collectable this time around is the cycle repair point. Not sure why this wasn't an addition with Caltrain considering that's far more well known for being bike friendly, but oh well.

These can be hard to spot. Look for a sign that says "new cycle pump coming soon" on the walls at a station. Usually this will be near some bike racks.

Uncollected

Collected

And to finish off the 50 jobs, 10 bike pumps must be installed.

#01 Brighton

As per usual, we'll start at the big station and head out from there.

And we reach the end with Eastbourne. Which, despite being a big station, has just a single collectable! Madness, I tell ya.

Outtro

I hope this wasn't too much trouble and that it proved useful. 50 collectables isn't much, but I can see how some of those fences on the middle of the mainline could go unnoticed! I'm just glad they did not try to stuff 100 collectables into 30 miles, that would be pretty crazy.

As usual, if this was helpful, please do add a thumbs up, it does a lot to push up the visibility of the guide so that other users can find it easily. And we wouldn't want someone looking for collectables to miss the guide!

The only part I hate about this one is the last few fences on the main line.
For the Seaford part I took over a train which made it easier and a bit more fun.

[Ukrainian RailFan]

Great, as usual!!! Thank you!

[Vitally Trivial]

Thanks for the guide again! Got them all on Xbox.

[Cyklisten85]

The only route where I've found all by myself, otherwise this guide would be very helpful, as usual :)

[Ant Craft]

Thanks for the guide! I found all but 6 (2 fences and 4 cycle points), so the guide helped to wrap up the collectable hunt on this route :D

[GamingRacerHD]

Ty, the fences are a hard one!
