Route Blackpool Branches - Feedback Thread

Also remember the AWS is only active around Preston. So if you're heading to Blackpool past the junction and hear nothing, it's fine.

 

You're welcome

 

I noticed a bug : on the new timetable, service 0S91 with class 47 , you are starting the service in the wrong cabin

 

How come there is 2 timetables for the 47 that do stopping services between preston to Ormskirk then Ormskirk to Blackpool north? 0Z02 and 0Z03 In the new Blackpool branches timetable. just confusing how its just a light loco stopping at stations along the way. On ps5

 

Route learning?

 

Yeah, I can't comment on the "duplicate" but always assumed the first one was a route learner.

 

Just dived back into Blackpool Branches and obviously having Crewe - Preston means all 24 layers in new timetable are now active.
While it's great to have the new Class 20 on the tour, it's a weird consist. No idea why there's two BGs in it, if it was the same in old timetable, they could have updated it a little, only need 1 brake vehicle.

 

They made it work on the new 47/3, surely the others can be fixed as well !?

 

It was the same in the old timetable, one at each end :/

 

Yes, I would expect that it will be patched accordingly (maybe it was patched yesterday), I just remember them being forced to isolate it due to issues with the core programme.

 

Thanks. Hadn't played the tour since completing it when the route came out.
In that case, they could have improved the consist!

 

Bar bug fixes we're not intending on doing any changes to the 47/4 included in Blackpool and Shap.

 

AWS ramp not working for signal PN112, up direction, platform 4 at Preston.

 

New timetable, same great taste!

Am I the only noticing that the 47/4 has lost its bogie run sounds? The BR blue variant is definitely affected, I’m unsure about the others versions included with Shap.

 

If you are not the only one, I'm really starting to wonder if this 'sound update' DTG have done is having a serious effect on things

 

I don't know if it's the update or a reverse-placebo effect, but I have the impression I'm hearing a lot more garbled sounds across all routes since the recent updates, particularly noticeable with the horn, AWS warnings and passing train sounds

 

We haven't touched anything on the Blackpool or the Shap one so I have no idea what's happened there.

 

Think the audio change done to the UK stuff was relating to passenger announcements, hence it was only limited to recent UK stock. Not entirely sure the list was entirely accurate as well.

 

I just tried that one, but I start in Preston station, not the sidings you have in your pic.
That said, it is still the wrong cab.

 

On another note, some nice feedback.

Been so busy with the new route, I had not noticed you could get the 47/3 and 86/4 subbing in on Blackpool Branches.

Not sure I'd want a 47/3 on Mk2fs if I was a passenger, but I'm definitely going to use it on a freight run or two!
