Great Western Express Modern Timetable

Tired of driving HSTs and Networker Turbos on the same services? Well this is your mod! This mod features IET services, Elizabeth Line services, 387 Services, and even a few layered railtours!
Here are the services:
London Paddington to Reading and back(IET)
London Paddington to Reading and back calling at Slough (HST)
Acton Main Line to Hayes & Harlington and back (710)
Acton Main Line to Reading and back (710).
London Paddington - Reading and Back (387)
Class 142 Railtour (142; layer)

AI Only:
Paddington - Westbourne Park (484)

Layers:
Class 142 (Blackpool Branches)
And a few surprise layers. Find them on your own!

Requirements:
TSW 5
Great Western Express
Brighton Main Line
East Coast Main Line
Suffragette Line
God Mode by Foob

Optional:
Blackpool Branches
Nahverker Dresden
Kassel - Wurzburg
Island Line 2022
All add-ons require their TSW 4 versions. Versions for older TSW releases are not and will never be supported.
IMPORTANT:
To drive electric trains on this route beyond, you MUST use God Mode to force electrification. This is a limitation of the base route, not my timetable or the editor AFAIK. If anyone knows of an alternative, please let me know.

Known Issues:

HST Services between Reading and Paddington stay at slough for about 10+ minutes. This is an error on my part.
BTM Trains show their destination as Bath Spa.

Both of these will be fixed in 1.1

Requirements

Additional Comments

Version 1.0:
Initial release.

Version 1.1:

  • Not compatible with Train Sim World 4.
  • All (hopefully) passenger trains are now using the same stopping method as is standard in TSW, as is, you dont have to be right on top of the marker anymore.
  • Reading Elizabeth Line services now go from Paddington, instead of Ealing Broadway. Hayes and Harlington trains still go from Acton Main Line.
  • AI services! There is now AI services on the Windsor Branch, Greenford Branch, Henley Branch, and Maidenhead Branch! In addition, AI Class 350 trains can be seen in the terminating platforms at reading, mimicking a Class 450 (requires West Coast Main Line)
  • There is now a drivable Class 484, mimicking a Class 230 on a service from West Ealing to Paddington and then back again!
  • Some #purpletrains skip Iver, Langley, Burnham, and Taplow.
  • London-Oxford HST services no longer dwell at Slough for 15 minutes.
  • All trains not included with the base GWE DLC are now layers, with the exception of the EMT HST services as I may or may not have forgot about them until I loaded up the timetable in game. This means the base requirements for the DLC are now only God Mode by Foob, Great Western Express, and Midland Main Line. This will however only give you the HST services and the AI 166 services. For a quality experience, I recommend also having Suffragette Line and London Commuter.
  • Another German Railtour: This time featuring the DB BR 442.
  • All German Railtour Layers are using the varients from Kassel - Wurzburg.

Known issues:
The "random spawn location" bug still seems to affect some services. From my testing it affects services starting at Reading, but may affect others as well. Hopefully this will be fixed in v1.2, but in the mean time, I would recommend using God Mode to teleport back to where you should be, or alternatively spawn on foot and take over a train that way.

Important notice about the GWE remaster:
This mod may or may not work with the GWE remaster. I will not be able to confirm this until the release of the remaster, so I would recommend backing up your current Great Western Express .pak file so it can be restored in the case of issues with the remaster.
This mod will be updated with the remaster to fix any issues it might bring, to add Heathrow Express trains, and to replace the GX 387 with a GWR 387.

Plans for Version 1.2:
Fix random spawn location bug
Make EMT HST trains a layer

Plans for other versions not yet confirmed:
Replace GX 387 with GWR 387 (remaster)
Add AI Only HX 387 (remaster)
Improve AI Class 484 services at Paddington (Remaster)
Add AI Tube Trains at Ealing Broadway (Remaster)
More AI services at Reading
Elizabeth Line trains terminating at Maidenhead
More railtours

Hi. Sorry for the long response time. Just got back from vacation. I have managed to replicate the issue and it seems to only affect Ealing Broadway - Reading services. Until I can fix the problem I would recommend simply taking over an AI service at Ealing Broadway.

Hi only a question the required DLCs are all necessary for the mod to work? Or it works even if one of the items is not owned?

Only the DLCs under "requirements" are needed.

Great to see another update. The timetable is amazing. Just out of curiosity, which command do I use to force the electrification using God Mode? I have it, but I'm still getting to grips with it

Avatar of trainsimgaming1001

Click on "Console Commands" then "Favorites". In there is an option called "ts2.dbg.CurrentCollectorSupplyAvailability". By default this is set to Auto (default), which will use the default electrification for the route. Change it to on (force current) to enable Electrification past Hayes.

I've just recently downloaded this and love the effort put in (I can imagine it took forever to create!). How easy would it to be to enable reskins from Creators Club, so thar we could have the IET's in GWR, the Elizabeth line in purple colours and even the TFL services using a more appropriate reskin? It would turn it from being really good to fantastic !

Avatar of trainsimgaming1001

Now that I have most of the features I want for the mod implemented, barring some AI services, Maidenhead Elizabeth Line services, some railtours, and bugfixes, this is something that I am looking into, though apparently the mildmay line will have a class 345 reskin, which if it is good enough will be used.

Avatar of trainsimgaming1001

Upon further investigation it is possible with god mode so this should be with 1.2. Likely this will not release until remaster.
