Quick question about the timetable. Particularly, the evening services. Why are there so little? From what I see Services run quite late on both parts of the circle ad at a standard frequency (in real life) However, I was driving a service from Leven to Edinburgh, leaving at about about 1800. I arrived at Kirkcaldy, and our of interest I wanted to see what the next train I'd see was only to see there wasn't another train for 2 hours! (about 20:10) Then I realised the next train to arrive there was the same train I was driving! (As I was driving the Leven livery 158). Is this really as scarce as the real life timetable or just missing vital services. Similarly, Glenrothes services finish at like 1900 which is crazy to me.
Yea that entire timetable feels like its missing a crapp load of jobs. But there is an update for this route next week so hopefully it get bulked out then.
One can only assume a Rivet Dev's trains kept getting cancelled and they assumed that was a real thing
I really hope so. We are getting closer to the update and I can’t help but feel it’s going to be a disappointment… hope I’m wrong.
Wasn't this the timetable they based on a certain day of the week a few years ago that happened to coincide with strike action or something?
Not sure why they did such a sparse timetable, in reality as I’ve mentioned before there is a very frequent service right up until the late evening. Why did DTG accept and sign off on this for publication, surely even their testers and QA must have noted the lack of trains at certain times of the day.
If I remember, I'm sure Skyhook made the 2020 Covid WTT for some odd reason, so whilst it was updated with more stock it actually used a drastically cut service pattern (I stand to be corrected on that one though if I am wrong). Why that was chosen as the updated timetable was a confusing one... However we are only a few days off of a 'update' for FCL from Rivet themselves (and most likely updates to cater for the unreleased Inter7City HST)... Hopefully it might take some of us by surprise if they've spent time on the update.
Don't jinx it! It's been delayed once so hopefully not again! It's a difficult one though, as I am pacing my expectations with the FCL, but curiousity has got the better of me with the amount of work that's needed to 'test it'. I thought it might just be updated sounds for the ScotRail Class 170, but it does sound as if there's a bit more going on. I'm speculating if Tyler may have had anything to do with a more modern timetable...
