London Overground 'Goblin Line' Review ~ Train Sim World 4

c2c NEEDS to be added to TSW4. it’s such an overlooked line with two possible trains (720 and 357) with two massive London terminals (Fenchurch St and Liverpool St) all being part of the route. Edit: thank you for the like!! congrats on 9k 🔥

I think the reason that u got 9k sub's is bc u make some of the best and unfiltered/unbiased ts/tsw reviews and make it very clear whether a product is good/bad and the reviews are quite humerous at times. keep going and you will get to 15k subs

Always thoroughly enjoy your DLC reviews. Have used these in the past to decide whether to purchase add-ons or not. Your train knowledge, considering your talking about rolling stock from the other side of the World, is always phenomenal

As a commuter on the GEML I've got to say the Aventra sounds are pretty good. I'm hoping this is a DTG interim route and that their big UK release will be the C2C through Barking from Fenchurch Street in London to Shoeburyness on the South Essex coast. It's never been in a Train Sim and it's such a busy, interesting route. Note on the 172s, unfortunately the GOBLIN was always an overlooked railway and when TfL took it over the platforms and signalling could only cope with 2 car units. So they were an interim measure while plans were put in place for a full upgrade of the route. And yes, a 68 would be great.

(better not show him what have rivet done)

These reviews are the only reason I subscribe & watch tbh

I’m surprised you didn’t call out the lack of ECS moves. There’s only one move each in and out of east ham and one move to and from an off map depot. These trains have to come out of service at some point, so It’s disappointing not to see this in the timetable. As for the freight locos, I think I’ve heard the reason being that DB (who owns the EWS brand) is the only UK freight operator willing to license to DTG and they pretty much exclusively use the 66. Other modern freight locos are used by GB Railfreight and Freightliner who both refused to license to DTG. The 68 is exclusively used for freight by DRS so River would probably be the ones to give it to us, especially since they could create an alternate version for a Scotrail route. Children and TransPennine are the only two passenger users and neither of them have ever granted DTG licensing.

Is it solid or nah second question what's the difference between strock 1/2/3 etc

The first time i came across your channel was via the YT algorithms. However the TSW reviews weren't the ones that drew me to your channel. It was your clip about the Ill-Fated 10 members of The BR Class 16 and how i surprised you in the comments below that there is one Class 16 seen on film. That was D8402 on The North London Line (reference Diesel & Electric on 35mm Volume 1) and i'm quoting directly from John Huntley "It's almost impossible to see a photo of them in action let alone on film".

Dovetail said theres easter egg ai services regarding London Commuter and GWE...Where can you spot that..i see the ECML section overpass and all

I would like to see the 710 in Train Simulator classic. These silly short routes that DoveFailGames makes for TSW just doesn't cut it for me.

I saw a class 387 Gatwick Express train crossing the bridge with Thameslink and Azuma train. Very odd. Also the overground use 5 coaches on most of the line apart from the Goblin so why have four cars for the Stratford to Clapham?

Can't get a UK route without that damn 66.

Babe wake up! The london overground review is up 🎉

I actually like it for the most part, and it is well designed. I am not as fussed on route length and linearity as you are (although not if it is a drag like the Antelope Valely), but I think that the route's short length is made up by the busy timetable for the most part. I am pretty sure that DTG don't have the c2c license, so that is why they are not present.

If it’s not a modern day branchless route, commuter only, 15-25 miles in length, in Britain, Germany, New York or cAlIFoRnIA, less fhan 10 services and less than 3 locos, then dovetail (or the crap 3rd party devs they use) doesn’t want to do it. God forbid they actually put an effort in developing a completed route with actual depth to operations and not linear. Since tsw2020, they literally quit doing anything but wash rinse and repeat route choices

For 9000 subs (congrats btw) i have an idea that you could make a video of all of your fsvourite tsw/ts routes and trains. Just an idea.

I may be wrong but I think 710s are being introduced on the north london line Ive seen them at stratford maybe once or twice although it could be for another reason

Thanks for the honest review. A couple things I enjoyed the most: your suggestion for Class 68 in TSW, and your dislike for the phrase "If you don't like it then nobody's forcing you to buy it" (they obviously don't understand people's compulsiveness and FOMO).

Will you be getting the new fife circle route which is released this week ?
