You know that WCE is finally released tomorrow, I can't wait, but will Game be stocking it, and even tomorrow, or will they wait a bit. I hope to go and get it on Saturday, from Game, but will it be available in Game then or not.

I don't know about GAME but I saw the add-on for sale in Ian Allan bookshop in Stephenson Street at £24.99 in the downstairs part.

I ordered my copy from UKTS today after cancelling my pre-order from amazon. Otherwise I would have to wait until as late as 14th of November to receive it O_o. I used to live in Wolverhampton when I was a kid and I have friends that live in Birmingham so that is a regular place that I visit when I meet up with them.
I hope that the pallasades and bullring shopping centres are modelled on this route because as I live in Peterborough. I was quite dissapointed that Asda, Queensgate and Railworld were not present in Peterborough on the ECE route as they can be seen from the train on the real ECML. Though I understand that EB would not be allowed to use the ASDA name as that is a registered trademark of Wahlmart but they could easily have named it
OSDA or something fictional

I see on the EB home page that PC World are going to stock EB West Coast Route from the 29 Sept.
If you send EB a copy of the Receipt they will send you the extra Cl 57 and the extra activities you would have got if you had pr ordered it from EB.

Hi All,
I received my copy of the route today and its very well done. I will post links to screenshots from my photobucket account later in the week or at the weekend. One I MUST say is that there is plenty of ideas for freight actvities as well as intense passenger ones

And the odd trainspotting, and shunting activity as well

,and with the bin patch someone could really go to town on this route, as they say

Looks like we both should have gone with UKTS from the start matey.
Nice route too, not too prototypical.
funny thing I notice.....
I did Euston to Wolverhampton during New Order's tour last year, and at international I looked towards the upline, cos there was someone sitting on the window (downline) side of me.....I never even noticed the bleedin airport. ROFL.
( I might add that there were people in the vesitbules (or CRUMPLE ZONES as they are also known) and even the luggage racks, the whole way to BNS!)
So when's part 2, presumably up to manc, coming out?

maybe they could go to town with WCE and the BIN patch, but I was getting worse performance than with DC on my PC in the countryside areas out of Bham.
