    Ive read between the lines and quite frankly it thats the case then its not a surprise that ATS dont want to work with you, you used your first release to have a dig at them with your easter egg, and then theres the behaviour of one of your team who decided to air his dirty washing in public and have a go at the management and accuse them of not paying their team.

    Hardly allures a professional outfit does it? Nor is it conducive to good working relationships

    As I said before the blame lies with DTG for allowing this to rumble on and they should have sorted this months ago in private and put controls in and have a code of professional conduct in place for ALL 3rd parties.

    On the one hand, this message wasn't constructive, on the other hand I'm a terrible person and am curious what the easter egg is?

    he asked me to read between the lines and that’s what I did.

    theeaster egg was a rail replacement bus at Crewe stating it was going to Wilmslow.Given that yhe file name for Manchester airport commuter is Manchester to Crewe it doesn’t take a scientist to work out th meaning

    NGL that's pretty funny.

    Anyway it's possible to interpret that perfectly innocently, cause we are soon to have a WCML where it's almost possible to drive Carlisle to London aside from that gap. I'm not saying it should be interpreted perfectly innocently - as a terrible person I do enjoy this sort of drama of course (which is why I asked) but I don't follow the details enough to know if either good/bad explanation is excluded.

    Anyway, thanks both.

    Sorry if this has been asked already, it's quite the long thread, but will the 805/807 have the same services on the Trent Valley or will the 805 be an additional layer (unique services) along with the 390?

    That sounds like something that someone who is not just a forum user, but a spokesperson associated with a company or DLC would say

    Spinning a narrative out of thin air is impressive. Redrev, I think you should consider a career in politics. You'd suit it very well. XD

    This is really constructive and a good way going forward for quality checks and testing. And thank you for being direct with the community. It would be great to know when Xbox build/Xbox for PC version will have the updated services. I'm looking forward to this DLC

    Looking forward to playing the Trent valley soon and the class 805 tomorrow!

    I’m going to clarify this, SierraOscar95 is not a member of the AABS team, and has argued with myself or demanded that I clarify information posted a few times. Never being rude, in the least bit, either. I wanted to clear that up, so nobody reaches out to ask about AABS. Only Danny or Kezz speak on behalf of that studio, even I verify information before I post it from them.

    I have worked in gaming for years. This is exactly what happens, and this is why Community Managers exist. It does become demoralizing when people comment and then if they comment, a negative answer is given consistently. I have had devs walk off mid-project due to community slander, and some of them received death threats too. I’ve been doxxed in an attempt to get me to do something the community wanted, and I’m personally not worried, but other devs or creators for games don’t have that luxury.

    The rules of the forum are simple, treat each other with respect, and some of the comments here are very close to being abusive. There are multiple times I have seen folks on the forums cross from respectful to calling each other slurs, and that’s just since I started in October.

    I hate to lecture everyone like the mom I am, but come on, folks, you’re better than this, and you know it.

    Abusive comments and down right disrespectful comments from now on will get people warned or removed, as I don’t want other forum members, devs, or artists to be constantly talked about in this way. I also don’t want it to escalate into something even worse, as I’ve already seen devs receive death threats, and a couple of the CMs here have even received some.

    Keep in mind at the end of the day, this is a game. If you don’t like the content, don’t purchase it, but trying to bully and harass people into giving you what you want is downright awful.

    The dislike of the 90 not coming to a route by another developer is noted. The studio making Trent have said their piece, but the maker of the 90 is probably focused on you know…making their train.

    If this comment thread can’t focus on the topic, the Trent Valley release, then I will shut off comments. We appreciate the conversation, but it’s bordering on overstepping into harassment, so please take a minute, and come back to discuss the Trent Valley release in a respectful manner as it is in its current state.
