Just noticed that steam updated this route today wonder what the update was for?

I'm rather new to using workshop items so bear with me. I've subscribed to this and can see it listed in my workshop items in game, but it's acting like I have none of the requirements (I have all of them), so the drive option stays greyed out and it doesn't appear in the Quick Drive options anywhere. Is there something I've done wrong, or not done?

Afraid not.

will there ever be a version on the timeline after market harborugh realignment?

I have all the requirements, but the MML Leicester derby nottingham requirement was seperated from all the rest with a space and instead included as like the title of the workshop tags panel saying hope valley, I wasn't aware it was an actual requirement

Hi. The only Just Trains requirement is Leicester Derby Nottingham. I couldn't remember which platform models I used so had a look at the route in the editor and from the platform textures, i used the lofts from the DTG St Pancras to Bedford (Bed Pan Line). That makes sense as I wanted my extension to be fairly seamless. Hope that helps.

I tried a quick drive scenario and all the platforms are missing. Do I need the Nottingham-Leicester extension and base route for this route to work (despite it being excluded from the requirements)?

Moved it back into my drive folder. Was having a clear out and forgot to leave that 1 in place.

The AI preload folder seems to be "moved to the creator's recycle bin"

Issue resolved. Had to do a file verification. Absolutely superb. Love the detailing. This is as good as any payware route

Where can I get the track textures from please ?

Hi. I wouldn't think so. The track I used on the extension was from the original DTG St P - Bedford route. Maybe, if you manually added assets, you missed the track textures. I've got the full MMl from JT + the steam version of Nottingham Leicester and the route extension worked with both installs.

Have copied over all the required route folders as well. Makes no difference. My version of JT MML is the new complete route bundle which comes as the base Sheffield - Derby route [;us all the extensions. Wondering if that could be the reason

Trying the 6C32 scenario and I seem to be missing a lot of track. Got a lot of black and yellow stripes where it should be. I put all the required assets folders in but not all the route folders. Are these also required ? Thanks

Hi, missing ai isn't a problem for the Quick Drives to run. The Weardale and Teesdale route only provided scenery and from memory, was mainly used for houses and clutter.so it just means you'll have places where scenery is missing, but won't stop the route running.

Also I'm wondering if the route would still work without the Weardale and Teesdale route? I have all the other routes needed except for that one. Or would I need everything for it to work?

Do you know if this route will still work without the AI?

Hi, yes as far as I know. I built the route on my Steam Vanilla TS with the Steam version of the JT route. I then copied the route into my main installation that has the MML bought direct from JT and everything showed as expected.

Will this work with the extension version of Derby-Nottingham-Leicester?

Hi Tinsley. Sorry. No. That's a lot of route for 1 person. My MML route I built for MSTS went North to Sheffield, West to Manchester and East to Peterborough but took me getting on for 5 years. Never again

Any chance you could take this route all the way to Sheffield

I would absolutely love if I could play the merge with the AP pack, I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy the EP, if you have it I’d love for you to send it, if not I’ll sit and wait for you to release it @4S44

4S44 i'd love it if you could send me the merge, ive been meaning to do this for some time and now I know you have I'd love it if you could send me the merged route

Hi, no problem at all. I might even be tempted to get the AP route then :)

I have merged this with the MML EP from AP, is there a possibility I could release this? It would be on Train Sim Community and British Locomotive Studios :)

Thankyou. I agree. I was tempted to make the signs and then put the modified route files up on a 3rd party site which other routes have done. In the end decided against it.

I had to come back here to say a huge THANK YOU to 'heardturkey' for this amazing route extension. It's a fantastic run up, all the way from St Pancras to Leicester. It's a shame that Workshop routes won't allow custom objects as literally, all this route needs to feel completely finished and payware quality, is station name signs. Congratulations on the amazing work!

How on Earth did I not know about this? I've been craving for the 'missing' Bedford-Leicester section of the MML, in order to drive full St Pancras-Nottingham/Sheffield. Now, if only we could get this merged with the JT MML network.

Will this be merged on to the AP MML EP?

With AP doing a Enhancement pack for the DTG MML would it be possible to merge that onto this extension when AP release said Enhancement pack?

heardturkey, you can disregard what I DMed you about the scenarios page not working for this route. Looks like Warwick Rail's site picked it up and is finding all seven scenarios (four by the author, three by Not.Silent, with more surely to come). Any scenarios for this route will appear here, so I hope to see many more.

Thank you.

Just played a couple and very nice. makes a nice change running other peoples scenarios.

Hi heardturkey. First scenario will be published in a couple of days from Wellingborough Aggregates. Brilliant route. Well done.

Hi there heardturkey. Well after having a lot of fun in the 50's in and around Paddington on your route, creating and publishing scenarios (well supported luckily), I thought I would try this route of yours.
Excellent as expected.
I will be creating a collection and publishing in the next month or two. Cheers

Thankyou all for the comments and I am glad it is being enjoyed. happy Xmas

Thank you for your efforts in creating the route Great to see this one, and a super piece of building it is too. Look forward to using the route.

For gods sake don’t let ats touch this looks amazing I can’t wait drive it fair credit all involved ats will just make a mess of it

Great to see another superb UK route on the Workshop! :)

Hi cyberia, Glad you're enjoying it.
These bridges? I can only think it's the river crossings between bedford and wellingborough. The lattice part of the bridges are from BPL so shouldn't be a problem. The end pieces (abbutments) are from the Bristol Swansea newish version, not the original South Wales route. Checking with RW tools, the path
is:H:\STEAM\steamapps\common\RailWorks\Assets\DTG\SouthWales01\Scenery\Bridges\Bridge_metal_Support_Post.bin
You could check your assets folder and see if you actually have the right version. Other than that I can't offer any other solution.

Like the route very much! Glad you've filled in the missing gap between DTG's 'St Pancras to Bedford' and Just Trains 'Leicester to Derby'. Noticed that some of the bridges starting immediately south of Wellingbrough are missing abutments and/or supports.

Completely at a loss. I have all the requirements but for some reason there are missing bridges north of Bedford and no signals on the gantries. I've tried unsubscribing, deleted the route folder from content, and the folder withinin the workshop folder then resubcribing again and still no luck. Gutted as was looking forward to this, have fond memories of the route as used to travel on Thameslink from Shortlands to Luton in the 90s as a child to join an Intercity (later Midland Mainline) HST to Derby to visit my late grandparents. Any suggestions on what I might be missing?

Hi, last paragraph of route description explains what I did. It worked with both versions and has been confirmed in a post by bchev1993 on page 2 or 3.

Will it work with MML, Leicester, Nottingham extension JT?

Thanks for your help. I´ll try!

Hi, Leicester - Not really sure. As long as you've got either version of the JT Derby - Nottingham - Leicester, I can't think of a reason. I just had a look at the bridges for a few miles after Bedford and I don't think any would have come from Bristol Swansea.

One thought is your settings. I run everything at full. Too low a setting can make things not appear.

If your settings are ok, I can only think the route got corrupted somehow between Steam and your PC.
I would suggest un subscribing from the route, and then....
Make sure the route is completely deleted in the railworks folder: Railworks/Content/Routes/9a3c0cd8-f352-4ab2-9c56-d0f7ec4c55f2.
You could also check:
Steam/Steamapps /workshop/Content /24010 /3041981673 - inside there should be the zipped route 9a30 etc. DELETE the whole folder 3041981673

That should remove all trace of the route and then you could try re subscribing.

Hi heardturkey, I just downloaded Bristol-Swansea, but I still don´t see some bridges after Bedford. Can´t see the whole station of Leicester either, by the way. What could have gone wrong?

Hi, Almost certainly. I started with TS after the original South Wales Coastal was pulled. The version I have is the new(ish) Bristol Swansea.

Dear heardturkey, thank you for this amazing route! Unfortunately I seem to miss some bridges north of Bedford. I got all required DLC, but South Wales Coastal only until Cardiff. Can that be the reason?

Hello me again since playing this route i have really enjoyed it but have grown up with the EMR change over mainly in 2019; so I took it upon myself to start building the newer version of the route and is turning out quite well with Wellingborough complete and the class 360 depot and station in progress. With me not meeting all the requirements I've changed it so the requirements are some more popular addons such as ECML south instead of Weardale and Teesdale Route and Liverpool to Manchester, I was wondering as its still in its early stages if you wanted to collaborate as I know the route like the back of my hand and could do different time periods such as the 2000's as I presume your doing, the 2010's EMT era and 2019 - 2022 with a mix of the HST and other units like the class 180. I don't mind if you don't want to i'll work on my version from 2022 and hopefully make some custom assets and fill in the gap for these two routes,
