Update Log:
13th January 2025:
Attempt Two for the first update after the first one had crashing issues and was completely borked! But this was a good excuse for extra bits added. Some of the bits removed in the update will be patched in another update later down the line :). I do appologise for any scenarios that wouldn't work and the route basically being unplayable for a few days.
Bolder text is the larger more important updates
- Added extra distant scenery between Angmering and Arundel Jn, Angmering station, between Angmering and Goring-by-Sea stations, around Shoreham-by-Sea and around Southwick
- Added soundscapes to the route (not many, so this shouldn't affect FPS)
- Added in something to resemble Arundel Castle (visible in the distance at Arundel Jn outside Littlehampton)
- Changed Lancing College's (outside Shoreham-by-Sea) main building to look better
- Changed parts of Shoreham Power Station to look slightly better
- Fixed buggy signals around Worthing, West Worthing, Angmering and Arundel Jn
- Fixed Hove Platform 3 Canopy
- Removed some AP Trees that found there way into this phase
Semaphore Signals at Littlehampton are still buggy, these are being worked on as they are different signalling scripts so like to clash.
Due to a TS limitation (as far as I am aware) the first bulb signal (a repeater signal) leaving Littlehampton will display a yellow and green together, I am working on it. Act like its a proceed signal :).
The signs should appear at every station apart from Littlehampton, I haven't fixed this as I am going to use some new signs in the next update, I wanted to get this update as soon as possible.

Very Beany route: 10/10
Really looking forward to trying out this route as its my local area.
However I've installed all assets per the manual but when I load in to the route the track is missing, its just showing grass and the third rail and theres some white and yellow tiles showing. Can you point me in the right direction what I could be missing to make the route work?
Thanks!
I am currently not at my PC so I will be limited to helping at the moment. Do you have all the requirements? The Just Trains Common Library is a must need for the route.
I think so, Its not saying anything is missing when I load in. Is there anyway to see a log or something that might indicate whats not loading?
This is what I'm getting https://imgur.com/a/BsWxXPg
You can try running TS Tools like anakha99 has done. You can download it from the Alan Thompson Simulation website https://alanthomsonsim.com/ts-tools-for-train-simulator-classic/, then check for missing assets on the route (heads up, it might take a bit of time reading the readme's to get to that point)
I'm getting the yellow and black stripes in the same spots as yourself but only during the Winter season. I've checked Spring, Summer and Autumn which are loading fine.
Im also getting yellow and black stripes missing textures during winter on the trackside
Just as a follow-up, I’ve installed Phase 2 & running the route through TS Tools tells me I have some items missing. My list is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o2yEtBY6uwOMO-8JEQjkJ6U6Hx6YW0yD/view?usp=sharing
Some look obvious - for example the 2 items listed under VulcanProductions are listed under TreePack\TreePack\Scenery\Trees but for me my entry under VulcanProductions is just TreePack\Scenery. The entries under AP\WherryLines could possibly be the difference in file locations caused by the different versions of the Wherry Lines route if bought directly from AP or via Steam? For example, I bought Wherry Lines direct from AP & I don't have a bungalow_01.bin under AP\WherryLines\Scenery\Buildings but I do have a bungalow_01.bin listed under a number of different DTG\RSC routes.
Anyway, maybe the list will help in tracking down missing assets people may have when running the route.
there might be one or two AP trees still around the route that I might have missed. Ill remove them when I can.
can i use AP Track enhancement on this route?
the AP Track Enhancement doesn’t work on this route. Swapping it to AP track can be achievable but there will be large gaps in parts of the route.
Happy New Year Everyone!! You've done a really grand job and I'm enjoying the West Coastway route lots, hats off to you George + all the collaborators. Can't wait for the next phase!!
I read in the manual that you'd take feedback on 'Distant Scenery', and I completely understand what you said. Having a highly detailed track side/cab view of the route is more appealing, personally. (I do occasionally like being Superman from time to time though for the screenshot moments hehe)
FYI, I noticed that the station building/ walls are missing at Durrington-On-Sea, I've met all the requirements listed in the manual and I haven't noticed any other discrepancies at other stations. I'm probably missing something somewhere.
Looking forward to the day we'd be able to 'Quick Drive' from Littlehampton to London Victoria via Hove with AI in one playthrough.
Brilliant work again, Happy Train Driving All!!
Thanks for the kind comment!
I will be adding a few more bits of distant scenery in an update coming this weekend. But I will be doing a larger Feedback Update which I will start at the end of January which can be the update I will add more distant scenery for the route.
I'll have a look into the missing walls at Durrington for the upcoming update this weekend :)
Hello, The Canopy at hove is missing for me
I have had someone who also had this issue. Give the route a reinstall and this should fix it. That worked for them at least :)
I did try that. Do you know what asset pack it is from?
the canopy is just from the Brighton Mainline
Canopy on platform 3 is still missing after reinstall
Interesting, ill have a look into it this weekend ;)
Brillant to be able to download the route as I didnt have a few of the previous requirements. Was unaware it allowed through running northwards on the Brighton Main Line which is a real bonus.
One minor bug which I encountered when putting in my own quick drives is that AI trains refuse to spawn for me on the new section west of Worthing. Only static consists seem to spawn on this section while AI trains spawn fine on the original section and the main line. I've only encountered this issue once before on a workshop route but was at a loss to explain it. Just one of those random bugs I guess.
Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into making this available to enjoy.
I only readded the Brighton Mainline north of Gatwick in this phase as people wanted it for full London Vic to Littlehampton services plus having London Bridge too for the old Thameslink runs to Littlehampton.
I am not too sure on the issues with quick drives as I am not a professional at setting them up, I can only do just the basics :o
Also thanks for the kind comment!
Hi George, thank you for the route, really great work :) Just a couple of small observations if that is ok:
- The semaphore signals at Littlehampton don't seem to work (as they do in the trailer) - for all the scenarios, i have to tab to ensure i don't SPAD.
- The station signs at Littlehampton aren't present - but are for all the other stations on the route.
- The ALL or RLU stop sign for Class 700 isn't on Durrington station.
All of them issues are being sorted for the upcoming weekend update! Hope this helps :)
This is so mega awesome
GeorgeBeany just so you know the 2 aspect signal outside littlehampton is faulty is showing green and yellow
yeah that is one of the broken signals I am aware of and will be fixed in an upcoming update tomorrow :)
Hiya mate im having an issue thats been addressed before where none of my track will load in at all i zoomed along in the super 47 and i saw nothing between littlehampton and hove i also tried loading in all the scenarios and had the same bug i hope i can have some guidance for a fix :)
Ill have a look into it in the second bug update this weekend :)
Alright thank you :)
Downloaded new update and I still have the buggy signal just outisde littlehampton showing Yellow and green any ideas no station signs at Littlehampton either.
ahh soo that batch file which installs the signs is still broken. Ill fix it again in the second update, same with the signal :)
Look foward to see how it looks when fixed. Its a great route bar the signal and sign at Littlehampton. The Batch file seems to copy some files but not the littlehampton ones. Yellow and Green Signal just when leaving littlehamption still exists which is strange.
Hi! A fantastic piece of routebuilding. It's rapidly becoming my go-to route for a shortish, virtual journey. However, when driving a GWR Class 158 on [TSL] 1O98 10.41Great Malvern to Brighton, my train clips the tunnel entrances , on the approach to Brighton. I've not noticed this happen previously so possibly something has inadvertently changed it or the track position?
Thank you! Them tunnels outside Brighton and Preston Park do clip the train, I have noticed that. Ill have a look into it!
The entrance to the tunnel cuts into the cab space but I got my ✅ so all is well!
Hi,
I really enjoy the route! Maybe one point of feedback. Would it be possible to fix the tunnel occlussion on the "existing" London to Brighton part of the route? I saw there was a fix for this on the normal route, but offcourse it would also be nice to have dark tunnels on your route.
j
Whenever i load into a scenario i get black everything and bright white windows. When i load into quick drive i have no platforms and missing textures galore. The sky and the grass are a yellow/black stripes pretty much. Also missing objects when loading into a scenario which i know i have downloaded. If you are able to help that would be greatly appreciated!
