What do you drive?

Post by jjules »

What do you prefer to drive? A 66 with a long line of steel-carrying trucks behind? Or are you more inclined to drive a HST?

Personally I prefer passengers workings. Saying that, I've been known to drive a 66 a few times...

Commuter routes are always fun. Lots of stoppings and startings to keep you awake, not that i object to a good blast with a TGV.

90% Passenger and 10% Freight.

I like the fast express type of service as I just want to get there lol. I do, do some stoppers when I'm really bored.

Stoppers bore me to death. I prefer express services, which is probably why I set up a new activity last night on Modern England stopping only at Cardiff, Manchester, Oxford, Reading and Kings Cross. Still, it's a bloody long way from Manchester to Oxford with no other stops in between!

I've still to try the TGV out in MSTS. The real life TGV is brilliant!

Mostly passenger but some freight. A lot of this is due to the fact that their are far more passenger activities available than freight for all the routes. I do enjoy shunting activities, even more since I got the brilliant 08 cab and sounds, but sadly thier are very few available.
