Details:
This update to “South-Western Expressways - Reading” provides a significant rework of the St Philip’s Marsh Depot area of the route. Firstly, the scenery has been updated to match the standards of the rest of the route. As well as this, some missing track and signalling has been added, and speed limits have been updated which ensures prototypical operations can be done. This will allow users to enjoy depot operations, as well as the high speed and commuter services the route already offers! Thank you to Jack Hales for this update.
