Being a dispatcher myself, this was fun to watch. I would have expanded that nice little double track section directly into Cumbernauld 4 though, without the crossing option towards Easterhouse. That would have created only one conflict point at the entrance of Bridgeton instead of the 2 that you have now.
@@jenniferdarline Hello Jennifer, and thank you for your interesting questions. The game is very well done and realistic in a sense of the schematics that are being used for the tracks, signals, displays of the locked path and the moving train and such things. Hence, when I first saw this video, it was actually very relatable to me. The more realistic part will come into play when pretty much everything is going to be automated in the game with the different sensors, and the trains basically steer themselves to their destinations. Paying fees in case a train is late on schedule would be a death spiral in reality, since the infrastructure operator wouldn't be able to expand the network if they had that Damokles sword above its head... on the other hand, you wouldn't plan a schedule that the current network isn't able to handle in the first place.
Hi squirrel. There is a lot of new content in landlords super including a higher class tenant you can get if you get furniture from the new catalog, adding a second floor, power tools, and much more. Please play Landlords super again.
Bit more "spinning plates" than I prefer for my games, but I do enjoy watching when someone does it right, so more of these would be fine for me as a viewer.
I enjoy this type of game, and this one in particular! You still have two sections of single track by each station, once you have 2 platforms at both stations you can just double up the track all the way rather than just passing loops and not have those bottlenecks.
This is great--I got this game about a year ago but couldn't figure out automation correctly and tossed it aside. Really looking forward to future episodes!
I really hoped for a video of you playing RailRoute and I'm really (!) looking forward to this series of episodes! Having the game already some time but it's quite helpful when you explain the details and the depth of the game! Cheers Tobi
Just one little hint. As long as you use manual signals, and you accidentally set a switch in the wrong direction, you can deactivate the signal, once the train has passed over it. The track will turn from green to white again, then you can manipulate any switch along the way. However keep in mind, this will not work once you have installed Autosignals.
Been playing this game for a few months now and it's loads of fun. Love the differenct game modes. Wanna play chilled? It's got you covered and can be really relaxing......But wanna play manic mode and get stressed out? Yep. Got that as well! :D
Just came back to this game and it's totally different. The UI which was very intuitive now looks completely different and confusing. What the hell happened?
Thank you very much for this very informative introduction! I really appreciate your calm and soothing way of explaining the stressful day by day operations 😅. I do love your beautiful British accent. I wish I could speak that way ❤
It reminds me of Sim Sig. The difference is the ability to build track and unlock upgrades. Whereas Sim Sig is based on real life routes, timetables and UK signalling software. It does allow for multiplayer as well. It's definitely worth playing if you want a real world experience. I would happily buy rail route and while away hours on it. I like games that involve logistics and problem solving.
SIMSIG is the one I'm familiar with. Stopped playing because there were some scenarios where you received an impossible route due to a train length exceeding the available reversing track length. I forget which layout that was, but it had mining trains arriving from the top and heading to multiplate platforms on the right and a second screen of layout to the left. Multiplayer sounds awesome though, perhaps I'll give it a go again
I'm looking forward to seeing what the unlocks are. At this stage, it's far too spinning plates for me to play long term, but that is often the case at the start of automation games. "Here's why doing it manually sucks. Let's never do that again."
3:20 Just a tip before you find out the hard way, the walls can't be passed - even with tunnels :)

Yeah i was waiting for him to upload the landlord series but i think he's done playing that game
Yes please do it again
I too miss that series
Only issue would be that he would have to restart. They wiped all saves so there are many hours lost for that game....
@@break2048 yeah but it would be so cool and the restart thing is why stopped doing the series anyway

Soooooo happy that you're doing Glasgow, there's something about being able to go "Hey I know that place!"
That's what I thought when he picked Glasgow lol.

Been playing this game for a few months. So glad you're doing a series on it.

Thank you for showing this game. This is exactly the type of game I love.

Oh yes, looks good. awaiting ep 2. I have to try this one.
Hey Squirrel, looking forward to seeing you continue this series!
Everytime I hear Cumbernauld I cringe as a Scotsman
I used to play train town years ago and then I found conduct deluxe which is a barrel of laughs!
Hey Squirrel great video! I havent watched your videos in over 5 Years. I am following this game though as it seems very interesting and fun.

I don't really like playing these times of games, but I do enjoy watching them XD
looks like a greate series again, gonna follow this fr sure.
Great work as normal, I had to give it a try
Hi squirrel I live in Easterhouse in Glasgow pretty cool to see Glasgow in this game. Definitely got me interested in checking it out for myself!
Ok, what have you done? i think i'm hooked.... To the game and the series. If that was your intention.... then you did good 🙂
This looks great I will add to wish list on steam

Great video.
Love this game :) thank you for playing it!! :)
The legend is back!
I have been watching Squirrel on squirrel plus daily ^^
Wish I could toggle the background music off. Great video, thank you.

Oh damn, I live in Glasgow
At firts when i was recomended this i was thinking that this game is bad but its accualy good
Great video, one day I would love to end up with a channel just like yours, keep up the great work!
This is great!
can't belive i missed this.. 3 days late
Summer sale for this game ended July 6th, you we're 3 days late uploading your video mate. 😜
I'm looking forward to seeing what the unlocks are. At this stage, it's far too spinning plates for me to play long term, but that is often the case at the start of automation games.
"Here's why doing it manually sucks. Let's never do that again."
Can you make the next episode tomorrow so I have something decent to watch (keep it up)
Any word from Bitrich if this will make its way on to iPadOS, given there is a Mac app?
Yes, we'll be doing a mobile version.
Squirrel, do you know of any “truck dispatching” simulation type games?
Uhh... I guess there's that old Hard Truck Tycoon game
i have had a strange fascination with this game since it came out on steam but have yet to buy it, figures now that its off sale i find this video
can you play transport fever 2 again in the new update
Watched the other channel vids of the stream….good job
hi. long time no see :(
I cant find this game on steam is it unable to buy now on steam?
Tried this game once and was very confused. Might give it another try after this.
I wouldn't be able to do that
Hi squirrel why did you stop playing dayz and arma
I almost have my #twitchbaby (youtube equivalent of it)
are you gonna play farming sim 22 ???
Doesn't quite look like GE PDS but not bad. At least you don't have to deal with requesting authorities from rail traffic control
U left playing truck games?
Second
I farted
