Toronto Commuter 2024 Timetable Enhancement Pack

Welcome to Toronto Commuter 2024. Built by the Great Western Railway (Ontario) between 1853 and 1855 the present day Oakville and Grimsby Subdivisions hosts over 100 passenger and freights trains daily making this the busiest rail corridor in Canada.

This timetable enhancement pack includes the following. A brand new 24 hour timetable featuring Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area regional rail, intercity passenger, local and fast freight services. In addition 11 repaints are provided to transform locomotives and cars from Sand Patch Grade, Boston - Providence and MP36PH-3C Baby Bullet add-ons into appropriate liveries. Finally tweaks to the existing route includes adding stations to the PIS, adjusting passenger density at stations and as a bonus added new paths to the Scenario Planner.

With 107 playable services, choose from 88 regional rail services operating the MP40PH-3C and Bombardier BiLevel cars along the western shore of Lake Ontario on all day stopping local, limited express, and rush hour commuter services. Or drive 1 of 10 intercity domestic and transborder services with the F40PH. If freight is your preference, you have a pick of 4 yard transfer services or 5 local shunting jobs using the GP9Rm and the GP38-2. Looking for more freight, use the Free Roam feature to create your own adventure exploring the various industrial sidings throughout the route. While you are riding the rails, keep an eye out for additional AI operating local and fast freight services.

  • Adjusted monthly temperatures.
  • Scenario Planner 2.0 compatible:
    • Added 60 new paths including access to all portals for a total of 70 paths.

Issues:

• Passengers behaving badly,
  • Mostly at Oakville Station passengers getting off the train will pile up and spill over onto the track.
  • At Oakville station, passengers cue on the island platform between track 1 and 2. In reality there is a fence dividing the island platform and track 1.
  • At Aldershot station, passengers cue on Platform 1 which is disused in real life.
• Aldershot PIS display boards are backwards. Track 1 shows 4, track 2 show 3, etc.
• Switch speed limits are Slow Speed (15 mph) but in reality they are either Medium (30 mph) or Limited (45 mph).
• 30 mph zone entering Oakville Platform 3. In reality Platform 4 is a through line and 30 mph limit applies to this track only.
• AI does not turn off headlights on reversing services (i.e. some trains to Union will have headlights on rear of train).

Notes:

• Regional rail services all start with HEP off (especially noticeable on Cab Car services). Spawn on foot and take over train if you prefer.
• Timetable is compatible with TSW4 only. Working on TSW3 version.

Comments:

• All comments are appreciated but please remember Oakville Sub is an older route that was not designed for passenger services. So I am limited with what works and what I can change. This represents many months of hard work on my own time. Please enjoy.
