    In relation to this list of patch notes https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/train-sim-world-6-update-notes-april-24th-2026.97804/

    Can I ask where are the following updates that apparently are ready to go?
    • Manchester Airport Commuter - Ready since November, still not released? Have DTG decided to cancel this update to make ATS look bad? You've already got an update out for the Medway Valley line, where is the consistency on releases????
    • ATS Class 90 (an update on progress would be nice).
    • WCML South - Texture optimisation, bug fixes and route updates.
    • Cardiff City Network - Route optimisations and improvements.
    • Rivet Class 170 Sound update across their range.
    • WCML over Shap bug fixes.
    Burying the head in the sand and not updating the community approach is what is causing the issues within the community. I'm sure there are plenty of patches and fixes I've missed and I'm sure everyone else will chime in to provide them.

    Also is this the "big one" that's been spoken about?

    This was considered a smaller scale patch, we'll update when we have more details on the above.

    Could the SEHS been the MVL update? I know they updated SEHS for some content in MVL and I believe the audio was unit releated wasn't it?

    Hmm, not sure about this. I can see it's having an update, could be the case that because of layering that's been hit by some of the same fixes. Can check!

    Hi Harry,
    Can I ask what the specifics of the new announcement voices are for ECW? Are they just the platform announcements as it's a little vague in the update post :)

    Also these updates are massive I've got a 6gb update for ECML on xbox. As said SEHS was a big one as well.

    Will New Haven Line be receiving fixes soon? Also, what fixes are being applied to West Coast Main Line South? I did not see it in the official patch update

    Hey folks - in terms of update size this doesn't usually mean the size of the DLC is bigger. If anyone has ever owned a smart phone and seen there's been an update that requires '11gb storage' (as someone who takes far too many photos and videos, I frequently hate that I need space for an update) just means it requires that much to actually download, not that the update is 11gb itself. I'm not 100% clear why this happens, I just know that size doesn't = amount when it comes to software updates!

    Can't believe still no fixes for the Class 90 AWS being unable to be acknowledged on controller.

    I really WANT to buy it but no dice until it's fixed

    This happens because in many systems, I know for certain at least that this is the case with consoles, a patch doesn't just instantly rewrite the original file. It actually has to effectively create a duplicate of the original file to act as a data backup in the event something goes wrong with the process and it has to revert itself, this is why in most cases you can cancel an update midway through and see no negative effects. So a duplicate/backup is created, then depending on the system either the patch either applies itself to the original file with the duplicate being a backup or it applies itself to the new duplicate and then copies that onto the original i.e. the final 'installing' part of the patch, then the duplicate is deleted when the process is finished. But obviously space is still needed in order to store that duplicate file for the time required to complete that process.

    Never going to complain about a patch that fixes bugs but it’s a shame that the correct day 1 class 90 build couldn’t be included. I get that ATS want to make further improvements but right now I’d settle happily for the release I saw previewed and based my purchase on please.

    Still no raindrops on DRS class 20 windscreen whilst moving.... the single (and imo the only noticable) immersion breaking bug in this DLC and it hasn't been addressed.

    How is this even a bug? I don't recall this ever being an issue with a previous TSW loco release.

    I wish I hadn't wasted my money on it.

    I also had an update of SEHS on Series S, but this one is not mentioned in the patch notes.

    I’m away again… but see Riviera line has some improvements.. look forward to seeing these in action. And others that’ll improve the game.

    I to would buy the Class 90 but not until it’s fixed.. ATS should be ahead of the curve here..

    The nuclear model.. with these updates is it a good add-on?

    Maybe some folk think I don’t like the game.. but I do! You just want it to work as it should! I’ve spent quite a bit in the three months I’ve had this game.

    Not sure if this latest patch has broke them, but how long has Manchester Piccadilly had no announcements at all? (I know that most of them were...the next train is for Manchester Piccadilly only)..fingers crossed that will be fixed in the next patch.

    It vaguely says this in the point underneath it.
    "Added new announcement voices for the ECW remaster".

    The fact they are two separate points means it isn't immediately clear.

    Is the fix for blurry textures on consoles still coming to TSW6 as planned? We are almost into May and no news yet.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Well, if we don't say anything, the community aren't happy with that either.

    i agree with that, but on too many occasions now we’ve been told that something will be fixed ‘soon’ or ‘in the next update’ and lo and behold, it doesn’t get fixed

    I've purchased Medway Valley after the PS5 Audio patch. And yes, what a stunning route!

    A bit of a letdown was the absence of patches for the Stara Paka - Liberec route. For the "A Bit of Shunting" scenario, in example. Any preview from Vector Simulations?
