Great map really fun and challenging to drive - have managed to get the B7L and B10BLE on the 349's without hitting anything albeit the journey took over an hour and 15min. Would love to see more high-speed motorway routes though in the future!

Amazing map! Very challenging too aswell and nice roads. Ik the map is fictional but most of the town names are in Kent and Sussex which is nice. and most of them seem to be pretty nearby each other aswell.

I was really looking forward to this map. After spending 2 hours trying to get it to work, the issue was resolved on my end. I must say I was disappointed to say that the villages and scenery is very samey. Very little to distinguish between each place. Also, the roads are unrealistically tight. I understand that the map is fictional, but it just seems silly to be driving a double decker bus down roads that barely fit a car. Aside from that, the challenge was interesting and I will drive the map some more.

Overall the idea of this map is very good. It's nice to have another map with long routes that isn't just looping the same areas 3 times over. There's certainly room for improvement and as fun as the narrow roads are, some do need to be widened, IRL a bus would never even attempt to get down some of them. AI pathing is done well - a pleasant surprise for a UK map and the documentation is comes with is very detailed. The concept of having regular routes as well as those irregular ones you usually see being run by 02 reg Solo's is brilliant as well. Overall, a job well done and hope to see continued improvements!

Now, I would give this 5 stars as it is an amazing map! But, none of the repaints for my buses are loading and hardly any textures (they show as white) which is kinda annoying me so I was wondering how I can stop this? And yes I have uninstalled the map and re-installed it.
Thanks :)

Fantastic Map To Drive. In My Opinion, I would drive this map every day because it is very big and it is challenging but now I have got used. This map shows how 13 year olds (me) can play this game.

Love it, now the route helpers and an overall performance increase, I'd say it is brill. I think it is my new fave to drive on. OMSI Has lacked what i would call tight roads and challenging hills and a decent sections of road where you can get the bus up to the limiter for a long time now. Overall very impressed.

Very disappointing map. The roads are absoulutely awful and the names of place are atrocious.

Sorry what. The names are based on real place names in the UK, what is so bad about that. What exactly don't you like about the roads, they are meant to be challenging and the road style is no different to any other map.

Overall a Great map to drive which adds a new challenge for the UK buses. For me its runs smoothly with the odd lag spike here and there in denser areas.

This map is different and fun to drive. Has a plot twist type of feel, especially when you're using the C400R. It's a bit laggy in some areas and the route markers can be - unnecessarily - difficult to follow in the country areas. Takes a couple drives to familiarise yourself with it.

Not a very good map tbh, I like the challenge side of it, it’s just the fact that the ai buses are completely messed up and it’s very laggy

UPDATED REVIEW FOR VERSION 1.0002:

Lovely map to drive on, route helpers have been fixed (at least for route 300) meaning I did not get lost once. Roads are very tight which is perfect for a challenge.

Reallyu good map compared to alot of maps I've seen, maybe on some of them corners apply a drop kerb around the corner so getting around may be easier for longer buses I know you suggested smaller but we all know people drive longer buses alot but overall briliant map looking forward seeing more from this.

It's a lovely lovely map to drive on. I currently use the Optare Solo on the 349 and it seems like the perfect bus for it. However I will note that the map does like to lag quite a bit in the depot area. Also I would say that some of the 2 way roads are too narrow for a bus and a car on the other side if there are no bays to pull into to let oncoming traffic pass. However I am pleased and it's free so I really do appreciate this amazing map.

Are there any timetables and running boards available for this map aswell?

In the download under documents/Smarden is the timetables. Some roads won't fit bus and car so just turn of collisions and drive through. Lag is an issue.

Love driving here. Tight is my thing. Really like going through all the corners and through tight squeezes. This map is really well made and detailed, well done!

Very good, i took my Pointer 1 Dart up on the 349 and it was good, I'll definitely be using this route to test my bus and get it performing as good as a real life Dart.
