    I'm afraid not. The 387s will still be unbranded.

    From what I have heard things are coming along with GWE, so will we hear any more info in the next roadmap? Any guesses?

    Not sure what else there is to share at this point about the remaster. I guess a general summary is the beta team have had it a few weeks now and feedback has been great. Service count wise it's looking to be 3000+ services with roughly 1000 playable.

    I guess the community are just keeping our eyes pealed for an article discussion about this & a release date in mind, but that's really good to hear! Seriously looking forward for this route next!

    I'd imagine with the Riviera release and the GWR license being back in force, the branding can be easily added to the 387 as the 802 which appears to have one service as a test run, will have branding anyway

    Thanks Liam. I have a question about the beta testing, so the beta team carry out their tests and they supply you with a list of what they found. Do you address any problems found and it moves on as is with adjustments final build or do you carry out the adjustments and kick a revised version back to the beta team or do you just leave them with the original version? Thanks

    Any issues they find get fixed and then integrated into a new build, which they then get.

    How are we looking on the performance and the texture fronts on console at the moment? Is this able to get tested by the Xbox beta group? :)

    Can't wait to see the finished product! Loved your WSR Liam! I'm sure this will be even better!

    Nothing in the roadmap for GWE this month. The project is with testers so hopefully something to share soon, including a release date.

    That’s a shame but understand. Is it still the plan to try and get this out before Christmas ? Im guessing bringing it in line with TSW6 with the train and station announcements has given you alot more work!

    Personally I'd like to see it out by then but it's all out of my hands now.
    The TSW 6 features luckily didn't add any extra work for me as Rhys on the audio team helped me by getting the route and train announcements in. Without him they probably would have been missed!

    Off topic of GWE, but maybe not really...Any update on the HST pack? Is that finished, nearly finished or awaiting the GWE to launch?

    No date or much info I can share here. But my personal goal is to have release alongside GWE:R.

    GWR, running both their liveries and the special heritage liveries. Plus there's the ex-GWR unbranded HST.

    One of my fav routes, so looking forward to this.

    Nothing is a day one for me for obvious reasons, but this will defo be a month one if the release goes well and it plays ok on console.

    Great, Class 43 remains my fav train bar none.

    Have you done much to the model itself?

    The MML version definitely improved on the original, but had the odd safety system set up, where they included a DSD switch for a device that was not there, or at least did nothing and then put the AWS on the spare switch on the other side of the cab that also needed to be activated in conjunction with the vigilance, which was weird when it worked fine on the GWG version.

    Not much to the physical model itself. It does have some new functionality, such as manual coupling, player controlled 'end of train' devices and set up work for it to be compatible with drag moves alongside the included Mk1 barrier coach. That's on top of all the free improvements I backported to the GWE HSts too, such as model and audio fixes, reworked lighting and the working toilets.

    Wait, a working bog on the HST itself, as in a walk through loco like the Class 86 & Class 87?

    No no, the Mk3's have toilets now. They aren't player enterable but on a loaded train there's a chance you will hear someone inside followed by the toilet flushing onto the tracks below.

    I hope I'm definitely not letting a joke woosh over my head!

    But if not, that would be truly impressive. Maybe not for the virtual track workers though! That would have to be a first for the whole game too!

    That's good to know, Liam, because, as I'm sure you're aware, the forum has an obsession with toilets on trains, though I've never heard them called " bogs ". Sounds kind of unpleasant even if appropriate. Another entry for my little black book of Britishisms.

    Apart from the fact that the coupling hatch won’t open on the MML one.

    Hold on. The toilets are modelled? As in, there's an actual 3D model of a toilet and sink, with toilet paper dispenser?

    And we can enter this toilet?

    And the toilet may be locked because a passenger is inside? After a couple of minutes, the toilet will be unlocked again? Will we see passengers walk into and out of the toilet?

    I still feel like I'm missing something here. I keep rereading these messages. We're... getting toilets?

    Will conductor mode have ticket checks in the toilet?

    I'm still not sure if Liam is making a good joke that's going over my head! I'm slow so do forgive me!

    Id love for this to be real though...

    Playing as a guard banging on the door of the toilet trying to frighten a ticket dodger out who had barricaded themselves inside.

    They aren't modelled inside. But, you will hear audio of someone in there while there are passengers on board. If you have an external camera during this you will hear the toilet flush and see the particle effects of 'waste' going onto the tracks, just like how the actual Mk3's dumped waste on the tracks.

    It would be good for the monthly challenge, instead of walk 5km, use 5km of toilet paper. Flush 1,500 times :)

    Here is a question for you Liam. Has it been hard to pick when to actually walk away or step back from your GWE project or are you still going to fiddle with it?

    Haven't touched the missions/scoring/timetable for it. Just visuals to keep it looking good on the route.

    It's been hard to finally get to a point where I'm 'done' with it. But I think it's finally at a point now where nothing else can been added to it.

    Opps good spot! That was a pretty big typo. Toilets will NOT be enterable. It's all audio magic and particle effects.

    Just like on a real train if you are waiting to use the bog which is locked and vacated, you'll here some suspicious sounds emitting from the cubicle along with a cough or two!
