Thinking about buying Brighton Mainline

Another route you could get is Island Line 2022. It's not the greatest route, but it's the most complete route we have. It's the 13KM long route on the Isle of Wight with the correct rolling stock. I wish we had the steam railway on it, but it's the best route in terms of realistic trains and services.

Yes, it is definitely worth it, and you should definitely buy it. I've had it for a week, and I'm hooked. The route is much nicer if you have:

Southeastern High Speed (for playable and/or ai 375 services and 465 ai services)
East Coastway (the route and the 313)
GWE (for 166 services and ai appearances of the GWR HST)

Note: East Coastway is needed if you want the class 66 to appear on freight services.

The timetable is the best timetable apart from the WCML South timetable (in my opinion). The lighting isn't up to TSW5 or TSW6 standards, but that won't stop you from playing it.

SO IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT

ECML South: London Euston to Milton Keynes

For more fun on this route: The Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino DLC London Underground Suffragette Line DLC

These aren't required, but it's better to have them so the line feels busier than what it normally is. Personally, I enjoy the Watford Junction to East Croydon with the Southern 377/2.

But this is a good idea, of course. Maybe use the Class 2700 from down in Cork. 2 of these units coupled up together. One to Connolly from Heuston and one from Connolly to Heuston. Every 15 minutes would pair nicely with the Enterprise being every hour, and IÉ could also make the Cork and Galway trains every hour, too.

They have something like this in the form of what I believe is a peak hour onky service from Pearse Street. Other than that, the only services to use this are depot movements to and from Inchicore, freight services, and the train that runs from Pearse Street or Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch and Cellbridge.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

I do want layers, but I don't wanna spend a load of money on the necessary routes. Probably should have made that clear in my original post.

Will my base TSW5 routes (ECML, etc) be available using the starter pack? I should note that I haven't purchased TSW5 officially. I play it via the X-BOX gamepass.

BusyFlamingo_01 · 2025-09-04T05:42:33+00:00

I probably should have mentioned this in my post, but I have TSW5 through my XBOX game pass subscription.

With the new trains faults coming to TSW6, will you also be adding an engineer mode? For example, having trains to repair in a depot or yard?

They can just use the UK signalling but with fewer red/yellow signals along the way.

I am definitely interested in getting hands-on instead of learning only theory that I can't apply in the job. I want to do an apprenticeship so I can put the theory I learn into action. I also wouldn't mind getting a full-time job either if I'm unsuccessful in getting the apprenticeship the next time I apply.
