    No loco collection would be complete without Avanti West Coast’s brand new Class 805 Evero!

    Avanti West Coast Class 805
    [​IMG]

    This exciting Add-on introduces the Avanti’s newest generation of long-distance trains. Players can look forward to stepping in the cab of a 5-car BR Class 805 BMU presented in Avanti’s striking livery. What’s particularly interesting isn’t what it does have, but what it doesn’t have: the traditional yellow front. The result is a cleaner, more aerodynamic aesthetic that sets it apart from earlier members of 80X family.

    Timetable & Gameplay
    [​IMG]

    The new timetable included in this Add-on are two new 2025-era timetables covering stretches of the West Coast Main Line.

    Covering a complete 24-hour day, the timetable delivers a with 510 fully driveable services. Modern rolling stock is used extensively to reflect the 2025 setting, while carefully selected legacy traction remains in place to add authenticity. The end result is a cohesive and contemporary timetable for the Birmingham–Crewe route, designed to stand confidently alongside the new WCML South 2025 timetable.

    These are:
    Please note that the Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero will be released on PC and 9th Gen Console platforms only.

    Train Sim World 6: Avanti West Coast Class 805 is out now for £14.99 / € 17.99 / $17.99

    Known Launch Issue on Xbox Series X

    Alongside the release of the Avanti West Coast Class 805 loco add-on, we wanted to share a known issue which we weren’t able to resolve for players on Xbox Series X platforms. During final testing, our teams have encountered crashes when launching the “Bound to Edinburgh” scenario on Xbox Series X, preventing the scenario from being played.

    Unfortunately, due to this issue being discovered last-minute, we are unable to hold the release on the platform, which we would otherwise consider. We want players to have the best possible experience with these add-ons, and we apologise to players on Xbox Series X whilst our teams work with All Aboard Studios to find a resolution to this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, we will update you when we have more information on a hotfix.

    I wouldn’t be bothered with it. Just ignore it and continue to play other services.

    If I had a nickel for every eggcorn and malapropism in the forum I would be a very wealthy man.

    I've always wondered if people who write it that way do so because that's how they pronounce it ?

    I've said this before on this forum, but does it really matter if someone makes a spelling or grammar error if it's still obvious what they mean?

    Exactly right.


    It doesn't. We have to be aware that English is not a first language for many people on the forum.

    What other DLC are required for the full layered effect of the new timetables?

    If it is out now, 27/01/2026, why can I not find it on Steam?

    Steam is 1800. Consoles releases at 1000 so it is technically out now

    Individual writing hiccup, no; that happens to everyone, especially in this age of autocorrect. But "would of" and its family have spread like measles, and it keeps being used through corrections, making it feel less like an honest mistake and more like a cult or conspiracy trying to normalize through belligerence and repetition. "We of to of faith!"

    But I'm also someone from a family of English majors, authors, teachers, etc. who finds reading that painful, so maybe my tolerance isn't what it should be.

    "Eggcorn" is new to me, so thanks for the TIL!

    what is the point of releasing it later on pc? steam gives you total control over when to publish. i find it hard to believe it takes 12 hours to finish the build on PC, the release candidate surely is done the day before (and if not i want to talk to your project manager)

    I can answer this. This is how it is usually pronounced, and some people write 'Would've", I just do it to drive people nuts when they get grammatically correct on me. (I have big 'little sister' energy)
    No, plus we have to remember people speak multiple languages within, and English isn't always a first language. Plus, my English is different from other English, even from my northern countryfolk.

    To some extent you are accurate, but keep in mind that Steam is located on the west coast of the US and they release at 10 am PST.

    You won't be able to download it from Steam until 1800 GMT, but usually you can buy it in advance, so it will start to download when Steam make it available. AT the moment (1750), there's no sign of it on Steam.

    Epic and Steam release in PST timezones, so that's pretty much it. I know because it's noon for me, and I'm 2 hours ahead of PST.

    the steam store updates at a different time to consoles, so i’m sure you’d rather put up with that than the problems on consoles

    This is not true. Steam doesn't have a set release time. Developers have total control over when they release their game. Steam also does not allow you to automate it, someone has to press the actual button. See: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/releasing

    Don’t waste your time. I’ve asked this very same question endlessly only to be met by the usual DTG silence…..and I am fully aware of the time difference and where Steam is located but there is absolutely no reason why it could not be released at 10am.

    Case in point, it's been 3 minutes past the store refresh and it still isn't there, because nobody has pressed the button. If it were out of Dovetail's control it would have been automatically published on the store refresh.

    But it isn't because release time has nothing to do with the store refresh and it's very tiring having people repeat this myth over and over again

    DTG seem to have stopped the pre-order of dlc a number of months ago for no valid reason unfortunately.

    Es4t, it is released at 10 am PST. Remember, once someone "presses the button" it has to propagate out over the web. So, I got it at 1303 EST which is just 3 minutes past "button push".

    Along with the 10% discount for so doing. A nice little sweetener particularly for items you might not be too sure about, like the Class 805. Their loss because they may now end up getting £7.50 when it gets a sale reduction rather than just coughing up £13.50 with a prerelease discount.

    okay so when is the fix going to be available?
    The issue for me isn’t the release issue it’s the lack of urgency of getting things like this fixed.

    Thanks but I wasn’t the one saying I couldn’t find it. I logged into Steam at 18:01 and it was there waiting. I was questioning why Steam/DTG do not make it available at 10am GMT
