    When does this release and does it have its own timetable or just piggy backs of the current one.

    Not played much so far, but the fact it's a free pack for those who own the route is a massive win. A nice little surprise after months and bad press.

    Credit where credit is due, wish it was more up front that this would be free for Boston commuter owners before it released, would've saved everyone from the outrage, but I'm sure everyone who does own Boston commuter is appreciative of the price decision.

    DTG Jamie this seems an awfully long time to wait on the 'Delivery for Providence' scenario...

    Tried a service on the Boston-Providence HSP-46 Timetable and noticed none of the AI HSP46s or CTC-5 cab cars had their ditch lights on. All the Amtrak stuff I saw had them on, didn't see any F40s or CTC-3s so not sure if they are affected.

    do you own BostonProvidence? if this is the case then it will be downloaded automatically, no need to checkout

    you need to own both boston routes to get the gameplay pack for free

    one of the best parts of this pack for me aren’t even the scenarios it’s the fact we get a whole new version of the timetable with the new stock subbed in AND now have the improved scoring w/ platinum medals since the TT was from TSW2 days.

    Now the dream for me is seeing the freight that was cut from the new NYT TT being added for PC users since it’s very clear we will be able to handle it just fine. :)

    Yes, I have both Boston routes; thanks for letting me know, it will likely trigger the download when I relaunch Steam :)

    First launch of the timetable with the “Boston Sprinter” version of the HSP46 I noticed that the doors on the double deck coaches don’t work when I tried to load passengers. Only the MBBs and the double deck cab car opened.

    If I try the same service with the “Boston Worcester” version of the HSP then the doors seem to magically work again.

    PIS on double deckers is broken on either situation and they just read “Not in Service” when doing Stoughton services. They seem to show correctly on Providence ones.

    The door issue seems to vary from service to service but whenever I am using the new "Boston Sprinter" version of the HSP46, the doors on coaches seem to not work correctly, some open some don't.

    This is on PS5.

    Morning DTG Jamie the boston sprinter version of the ctc-3 you cannot turn safety systems on because you cant open the cabinet door to where they are. Also boston sprinter version f40ph keeps telling you to put TMS on but there is no switch so you don't scored for using safety systems. And the f40ph boston worcester version keeps popping a message say turn on battery switch before you drive even though its on. If im doing anything wrong please do correct me. Thanks

    I noticed this on Xbox. They tried to shoehorn “Boston South Station” into the display where the Worcester Route just has South Station. I cannot remember what it says in real life as it’s been a while since I rode the T. Maybe someone local can have a look.

    Correct. Outer cabinet has no trigger. Only works with the Worcester version.

    That one is a side effect of making a 'Wait for train to pass' objective. The wait time is completed once the other train passes but the UI shows the unlimited wait objective as 23 hours 59 minutes.

    Around 1-2 minutes depending how quick you get to that point. Should complete once the Amtrak passes and clears the signal in front of you.
