I think both cities need a reverse bus loop and send half of the buses the other way so you don’t need to buy more. Also need to get the double train track on the last section into the middle city because your best chance at major profit each year is when the trains get to do their big drop off twice in the same year and they could do that more often if they don’t have to wait.
Just caught this series so a couple more episodes to catch up but..... bus routes! Each stop in the residential area needs to go directly to the train station and back again. This stops the bus being fully loaded when it gets to a second residential stop. You also need to set up residential to commercial, and residential to industrial to take ppl to work and shopping. Lastly, from the station to industrial and commercial so day trippers can get to work and shops. It does mean many more lines but should be more profitable and less congestion using the same routes. You can also better tailor the number of vehicles rather than just throwing loads of vehicles onto the same line just because one stop is overcrowded. Hope that makes sense.
A food line from the two farms outside London to the food processor straight to London could be a very lucrative line. The added commerce would cause the city to and create more passenger demand. Also, your wood line will stop working if you don’t provide a sufficient production line for the planks. Please keep this series going!
As clearchus said, you need individual bus routes. Since you are carrying so few passengers right now, making every bus run the whole route is slowing passengers arriving at the train station. Making each bus stop its own route will bring more passengers, more frequently.
1. Money 2. Traffic They are just general things you will have to deal with at the start. To make more money, just do as you are doing, and be patient, it will take a few episodes. Traffic in London is quite bad because of its road connections to other cities, a lot of the traffic is through traffic or driving in/out. Bare in mind that not all of the places where the roads connect have public transport connections, e.g. Canterbury connects by road to London but not by public transport. If you want to solve traffic for buses, trucks and trams, you can add bus lanes to roads. Roads with one lane in each direction will be exclusively for buses, trucks and trams, but roads with two or more lanes in each direction will have the bus lane in only the outer lanes. To divert routes, you can add in more stops like you were doing, or add waypoints, which work like a stop (reroutes the buses, by using them in the route menu) except buses don't stop at them to pick up / drop off passengers. Try not to make the mistake I made of connecting the roads up between cities that aren't already connected, traffic will be a nightmare unless you set them up properly. Generally, you made a pretty good start, but this map is a bit of a challenge.
A great thing to do on the roads that actually have the bus stops is to widen the road so the traffic not stopping can continue to move along while your bus pulls into the slow lane. Also, just an opinion, the very northern bus stop in London looks like it could be moved west a little. It doesn't look like the whole northwest section is cover/it's close to the bus station just before heading into south London. Very fun to watch. Ty, sir!
just remember the distance traveled x amount of goods = price given for delievery so the longer the line is from end to end bigger proffit and try not to dead head goods lines (not taking anything back from your first delivery) else that will just kill all profit
Its an interesting start, but I think the wood route from Bournemouth to Brighton would have been better served in the beginning by road rather than train. In constructing the route, you have basically borrowed 1 million dollars, and you still don't have a train. Road vehicles would be less costly and can be easily expanded, then trains could always come later.
The baverian cabin has a higher max speed that cant be used if there is another cabin that has a lower max speed so its better to upgrade all of them than just adding a new one
if you put player ownership on when you make a new road than only you are able to use that road/brige and not the residents of a town won't use that road so you don't have any trafic issues
You sure? I thought 'player ownership' just meant that the AI can't change/upgrade that road. Pretty sure it doesn't restrict access to AI traffic. I've not played in a while tho so could be wrong lol
I am sure you know this, but you can check the rate the line is working on. The closest it is to the amount of passengers on the line the better. Also, fix the little wonky/sharp edges on the roads. This makes the vehicles go around more and spend longer to get between stops. GReat gameplay btw. :)
Yh they do it irl too. (They have 2 locos tho) Also why do u care if its realistic. You're Transporting across 5km. It's a sim. Something that irl takes hours happens in minuts here

Way to true I usually don't start with passenger trains bur back and forth bus routes or two bus routes like what you are describing so I do agree

Just started watching you again i used to watch you back in the day when you played lumber tycoon loving the series so far
54:20 you could have just used a waypoint instead of another station, since I think that stop is within the catchment of the station proper
just remember the distance traveled x amount of goods = price given for delievery so the longer the line is from end to end bigger proffit and try not to dead head goods lines (not taking anything back from your first delivery) else that will just kill all profit
You should've started with road transport before and then switched to trains. Anyway, love the series. Please do keep posting.

the steam engine actually has lower max speed than the bavarian cabin so it doesnt matter yet
Thanks for the notice i didn't see it
plz keep this series going

@@Galerak1 that is also a option but i am not sure
You mean “add bus lane” which comes in later years

Passagerline from Manchester to Liverpool will be easy to conect…
I think it was the first UK passenger line as well so historically it would have made this series more accurate :)
Hi there loving the videos. What mods are you using? Thanks
Start with supplying food to your town via roads, horse carriages.
great video but if you can do more often trasnport fever 2
hey! love the series, could I ask what map you play on, seems fun and I wanna try it
U have a food processor close to London u can deliver food directly into London
It be cool if you create a city on the isle of wight. I love gooiin there 😁
Get a train line from Swansea-Cardiff- Londom with some stops on the way
You need to upgrade both trains from Birmingham to London as they're in very bad condition
19:24 it's a bus with 1 HP
Nice to see uk but are your trains running wrong side
39:05 why does the loco teleport to the other end of the train?
Not very realistic.
Yh they do it irl too. (They have 2 locos tho)
Also why do u care if its realistic. You're Transporting across 5km. It's a sim. Something that irl takes hours happens in minuts here
Really would like to be able to get these sized maps on console 😞
Cancel the stop in Cambridge, the route will be faster and you will earn more money
One express skip Cambridge all together.
Is there a mobile version of transport fever 2
Try using trams instead of buses it carries more people.
I got a question how did you get this map
Why not use a boat for the lumber at the bottom over a train.
We need more Airport CEO videos..
Me casually eating a whole potato while watching
Stop spending profits and pay off the loans. Your only expenses are interest 🤷♂️😂
These videos show us how not to start tf2 with trains!
You would have had millions more if you prioritized double lining.
Are you going to head north?
Create a tram line
Can't see Hull on this map very disappointing 😢😂
gillingham is best town in england sinc ethey have the wrost professional football stadium
