The trains are so much better and realistic the 323 are amazing but they make so much noise like rattling and the chairs are squeaky but they are really good as i have been on one but they are so good

Good job the HST is on BCC but may not be able to run at 125mph I thought they would take the GWR off and have it as a debranded green HST.

I drove the class 142 pacer up the lickey incline in train Sim classic. It made it at a whopping 33 mph.. If a pacer can do it then any train can do it... Would be interesting to take steam train up there with lots of carriages.

Dont forget XC HSTs do this daily....no problems, and have done for decades

I managed to drive a jubilee class from Chur to Arosa in TSW3 up the 1:17 gradients my average speed was 10 kilometres per hour it took a few hours

Something weird with the pricing of this on steam - I can buy the expansion (which costs more than the base game), or for the same price I can buy a bundle of TSW3 with the expansion - I might wait for whoever pressed the wrong button to work it out and list this at the normal route addon price LOL

Edit - I've been sawpping tweets with dovetail about this. Their line is that steam have adjusted prices so that the price is the same globally (which kind of makes sense, I had to send you steam credits to buy DV since it's cheaper here). Unfortunate that Steam's adjustment makes this DLC easily the most expensive single product Dovetail are selling on Steam, and a remarkable coincidence that the adjusted price for the DLC is exactly the same as the price for the game+DLC bundle.

How did you get this?

Just tried one of the class 37 scenarios. Bromsgrove to Litchfield. Think it's broken. Nothing but constant reds . End up siting at about 20mph the entire way in the pitch dark. Was hoping for something a bit more entertaining . This is just boring unfortunately.
