Yes, it's not meant to be 100% accurate as I said in the original description, a lot of the original assets and buildings are one model and can't be moved so I had to work around or try to disguise what was there. Good to hear people are still using it though!

Not to be a pain, but there used to be a carriage sidings parallel to York way road (formerly Maiden lane according to Wikipedia) at Kings cross which this route doesn't have. Other than that, the route itself is great!

yes its a great route. every new szenario for this route is welcome.

This is a really nice route regresion. Thanks :)

@simonmd [Author]

thank you for your excellent work

@simonmd - welcome back mate and yup still using your route!

I've been away from the community for quite some time due to personal issues so it's such a delightful surprise to find this still being used and appreciated, it was quite a thrill to see it featured on Traimsim Live!

Thank you all for the kind comments ☺️

Here is a list of workshop scenarios for the route.

Why no ai when play quick drive ?

can you please make Br's Peterborought to york where it is possible to switch the points and go into the nrm and doncaster works?

Hi, a very impressive route into the past, great use of assets and runs smoothly. Thanks very much for undertaking such outstanding work for the TS community.

Hi, I'm missing signal posts at Kings Cross, where could I find them?

Hi Simonmd. Just like to thank you for your work in putting this one together. I have just uploaded a scenario for it onto the workshop. search "Cravens to Welwyn".

fantastic route & great work. need really more scenarios for that. thank you

This is a brilliant route! Thank you for taking your time to make this.

Matt

Writing a Pbo to KGX scenario and getting a lot of signal failures at the Pbo end, and in the Huntingdon area too mate........ Cracking route though matey, nice one.... drop us a PM when ya got a minute please Sir. Cheers Bex.

Hi simonmd,
Have only just discovered this route on the Workshop, thanks to "Not Silent" who has written 3 scenarios for it.
I see it has been available for almost 2 years already.
Many thanks for your hard work creating this route, as it is a pleasure to drive it without those pesky overhead wires and now looking like the 1960s that I remember.
Have enjoyed the run from Kings Cross to Stevenage with the A4, the Bulleid Pacific and the King class locos.
Many thanks once again,
Best Regards,
Paul

This is amazing and especially the Kings Cross station well done and thank you!

Hi simonmd this looks interesting i have been visiting Kings Cross from 5 years old know it well,through all the changes ,retired now living in Devon ,new toTrain Sim, daily commute there for severall years Regards Dave

Amazing! I'll test it right now, sadly I don't have South London Network so I'll be surely missing some scenery, but still! It looks great and is perfect to (for example) make scenarios and videos and things about LNER and BR periods

This is probably the highest quality workshop route to date. It looks like old BR days and really gives the feel of the ECML in its ''hay day!'' A very well done. By the looks of things, some DTG developpers like it too!

I love what you have done with this simonmd. I think spending time doing the tunnel at Kings Cross was time well spent. It was the one thing I remember so well as a trainspotter in the mid 1960s - Class 31s 'popping up' with as you said 2-3 carriages. I love getting the camera to be over on the platform on scenarios, watching a train coming out of the tunnel. I have enjoyed numerous hours on this route you have done. Thanks

Hi, a really fantasitic route that captures the atmosphere of the line back then well. However I think it is important to make the point that the application of semaphore signalling seems to have been confused with MAS signalling principles, although I can understand that it may be due to the fact that DTG seemed to have also done the same on the Riviera line in the 50s route. While it may be too late to change now perhaps this little guide I wrote on semaphore signalling may be useful for future routes https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=708385768 . Thank you for backdating this route .

Exeter to Kingswear IS the Riviera line in the 50s, it states that clearly in the requirements.

Mostly minor scenery, wooden crossings, some minor buildings, stuff like that.

what assets would i be missing without south london route

Ah thanks Simonmd. It works well now thanks.

You cant drive a workshop route from your workshop page, you have to select it in game just like any other route.

Drive button greyed out ?

odd, all i'd like to do is reverse into the station like in your scenario

All the points at Top Shed are manual, you must make sure your path is set correctly or you will de-rail.

can't, red button over them

Change the points.

keep getting derailed on the way out of the top sheds :/

Well aside from less mobile phone towers and the Emirates stadium not being there, the present day ECML is pretty close to the late '80s so people can use a bit of interpretation there. By the end of the 1970s, the line had been electrified and Kings Cross had been redeveloped to pretty much how it is now, both York Rd Station and the old signal box being closed by then. I look forward to your scenario, anything in BR Blue is cool!

I am mate, I think you are going to like the scenario I am making. I have based it in 1983 as then I can be creative. Also if you could make a circa 1986-1988 version which would allow for a right mixed bag of treats from BR. That would be great :).

Pleasure, hope you enjoy.

Just subbed to this route, thanks for the mod :).

Thank you Simon. I will then give it a try , and I will return with my review in a few days :-)

@ leftergr - Yes, you can run the route without the SLN, you will simply have some scenery items missing but nothing vital.

The Riviera 1950's route is a default route that came with every paid copy of TS2016. The only way to get it is to buy the upgrade and unfortunately, you've just missed the 'March Madness' sale.

The route is brilliant and works fine. Sadly I have some missing assets as I don't have the Exeter to Kingswear Riviera (1950s) route. Do you have a link for it please ?

This really seems like a great route , that I would love to try . But unfortunately I don't own the South London Network .

So wanted to ask , if the route will play without it ? Is it so necessary or it just uses a few scenery ( that perhaps I could do without ) ?

Now featured on TrainSimLive!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSoTqcSy2Lw

Of course not, the more the merrier.

I have made a scenario on this route in transition era, do you mind if I upload it to steam workshop?

Like I said below yes.

ah so u mean play from the quick drive?

Derp, you cant drive a ROUTE from the workshop page, thats for scenarios only. You select it exactly the same way as you do any other route from the main menu. If you have no scenarios for it yet, goto QuickDrive, select yourself a train and then drive from there.
