really like this route it fills a much needed gap. Not sure if you plan on doing more of these but I would reccomend maybe adding this to one of the Dover to London routes as it would fit very nicely. It could also link to the AHS Channel Tunnel route as that runs nearby too. BTW if you were looking for some Orient Express coaches there are some very nice ones here https://www.rwcentral.com/files/file/62-voitures-de-ciwl/
Love this route! Thank you so much for this. I am in the middle of making a 2 part scenario for it, back in the NSE Era. If I could find a decent tutorial on route merging, I’d extend it for you to allow trains to London
Is this connected to the CML to Dover or is it its own route.
No connection to the CML to Dover route, this is a standalone route that came out after I produced this. In an update I might use some of their assets to improve my route though.
To clarify – this is a standalone route and the CML to Dover route came out after this. I might use some of their assets (Dover station) in an update in the future though.
I’m not entirely sure how to install this, any help?
