Welcome back to the East Coastway! This timetable is written from scratch using the December 2017-May 2018 Working Timetable to make better use of the stock that comes with the route and add trains which were added after the route's original release. As we know, variety is the spice that makes TSW routes come alive!
Playable services
- Aggregate freight between Newhaven and Lewes, continuing as AI to points north.
- Southern Class 313s between Brighton and Seaford.
- Southern Class 313s between Brighton and Lewes.
- Southern Class 377s between Brighton and Eastbourne, continuing as AI to Hastings/Ore.
- (NEW!) Some of these trips run with an 8-car Class 377.
- (NEW!) A few of this trips run with a Class 313, per the real timetable.
- (NEW!) Southern Class 377s between Eastbourne and Lewes, continuing as AI to London. Most are 8-car trains, others are 4-car. This doubles the traffic on the Lewes-Eastbourne section of the line and makes Lewes a busy place to watch trains.
- (NEW!) A few Southern Class 377 and Class 313 trains are stored in Eastbourne Yard during the day.
- (NEW!) Thameslink Class 700s on mileage accumulation runs between Eastbourne and Lewes, continuing as AI to Three Bridges. Seasonal, January-March.
- (NEW!) Thameslink Class 700s detouring around early-morning engineering work on the Brighton Mainline, via Lewes.
- (NEW!) Gatwick Express Class 387s detouring around early-morning engineering work on the Brighton Mainline, via Lewes.
- (NEW!) Rail Head Treatment Train working the entire route. Seasonal, September-October.
- (NEW!) A driver training run in a Tees Valley Class 37, or several other substitutable locos. Seasonal, May only.
- (NEW!) A Regency Javelin railtour from Brighton to Eastbourne, using the 395 from Southeastern High Speed. Seasonal, November only.
AI services
- Southern Class 377s at Brighton on the Brighton Main Line.
- Southern Class 313s and Class 377s at Brighton on the West Coastway.
- Great Western Class 166s at Brighton, twice a day.
- (NEW!) Thameslink Class 700s at Brighton on the Brighton Main Line.
- (NEW!) Gatwick Express Class 387s at Brighton.
- (NEW!) A Class 700 in warm storage at Eastbourne. Seasonal, January-March.
Additional features
- Trains stopping at a station do not activate level crossings beyond the platform until they stop. This is realistic, plus drivers experience more adverse signals and get to watch the booms come down.
- Several Class 377 trains split and join at Eastbourne to shift capacity to other trains. This is included. Also, some ECS runs from Lovers Walk to Brighton split in the platform at Brighton.
- One Class 313 consist runs as a 6-car train in the evening to provide capacity for football games at Falmer Stadium.

Installation Instructions
Place the TS2Prototype-WindowsNoEditor-EastCoastwayNewTimetable.pak
file into the WindowsNoEditor/TS2Prototype/Content/DLC
folder of your TSW 4 installation.
Additional Comments
- At Brighton and Eastbourne, multiple pairs of trains enter the same track to couple to each other. Subsidiary shunt signals do not work, so drivers must call the signaller to pass signals at danger (the instruction will tell you about this).
- Some playable Thameslink trains need to have their circuit breaker reset when starting a service (the driver assist popup will tell you).
What about the Class 171?
In the Working Timetable this is based on, the Class 171 ran all the way from Ashford International to Brighton, via Eastbourne. I have left room for these services but not adapted the Rivet Games Class 170 for one primary reason: these services share platforms at both Eastbourne and Brighton with other trains, on nearly every run. The call-on shunt signals at Brighton and Eastbourne are not set up to allow platform sharing, so the driver must call the signaller for permission to pass a danger signal. Also, trains which share platforms like this must be on the same timetable layer, so the Class 171 would be a required DLC.
Also, I have not done any train modding to adapt a Class 170 to a Class 171.
If another modder was willing to provide a Class 171 that would not rely on another DLC being installed, I'd be open to adding these services. Until then, you can use Free Roam.

Excellent mod! Thanks for creating and sharing. This feels as though it 'ties-in' better with London-Brighton. Would be great to see a similar update to other old routes such as GWE and NTP!
Loving it, thanks a lot for your efforts!
You've forgotten to change the additional comments section now that you've fixed the spawning on foot issue.
Ah, thanks!
I have a question, how can I drive 377 with your timetable? I just can't see it in timtable mod menu, there are only 387, 66, 313, 700 and locos from NTP and TVL.
I've seen various reports of missing locos in the menu. Others are missing the 313. Try removing all other mods from your mod folder and let me know if you continue to have problems.
The 313 is missing for me in v3 even with all mods removed, however it does appear in v1
Thank you for answer! I removed all mods and 377 appeared. Some mods are conflicting with yours. If I'll have enough time I'll find out which of them.
The conflicting mod is Sound Mod for 313 by ItsYa165, very strange)
I uploaded v4, which should fix the issue with no mods. Let me know if you continue to have the problem.
Why you renaming new versions? It is so bad I can't just replace files in DLC directory...
Good mod!
Not sure if it's a mod conflict, but I can't see the 313 in the menu, but they do exist within the timetable (although with no active PIS for the few I saw). The 377 BML shows up though so I don't have that issue that the other person has. The 313 does show up in the Dovetail timetable where I can select it, so strange behavior.
yeah, I have the same problem ( and I do not have the 313 soundmod installed); I've tried removing ECW related mods but no change, 313 still missing in menu with v3 TT
I uploaded v4, which should fix the issue with no mods. Let me know if you continue to have the problem.
I have issue with 313 too, even after cancelling all mods
I uploaded v4, which should fix the issue with no mods. Let me know if you continue to have the problem.
Good job !
I also can't find 313 services in the main menu, though I can drive them by spawning on foot and taking them over. I removed all other mods but the problem remains.
I uploaded v4, which should fix the issue with no mods. Let me know if you continue to have the problem.
The 313 doesn't work. I can spawn them on foot in timetable mode but not through the main menu?
I uploaded v4, which should fix the issue with no mods. Let me know if you continue to have the problem.
Will download the new version and try it when i get home. Thanks!
Yep. It's all good now! Thanks for fixing it!
thanks for the fix !
Fantastic, thank you both for the confirmation!

Southern did have some Scotrail 170s for a while, shame you can't have the new timetable if you spawn on foot.
This is now fixed in v3.
