    Hello everyone this is not a suggestion but I find that on TSW there is a lack of separation and coupling service like in munich ausburg or in real life there are coupling and separation services I think this is very important more service coupling and separation train in TSW 2 for example in HMA or in snelfastrecke koln Aachen

    Joining and separating services *should* be present in the upcoming London to Brighton addon.

    In the existing routes, coupling and decoupling of banking locomotives are in Main Spessart Bahn and Sand Patch Grade.

    Although it SHOULD happen at Haywards Heath on the BML, it seems to not be happening as much in COVID times, so depends on when they set the timetable

    I think the BML is set pre-COVID

    I haven't seen the timetable yet, so won't think anything until I do

    Coupling and uncoupling should in theory occur at Victoria with the Gatwick Express as I believe at peak times whatever gets uncoupled heads for Stewarts Lane depot until needed again.
    While we have heard nothing, it makes no sense to have anything other than a pre-COVID timetable.

    The same would be true of SEHS services at Faversham... it doesn't happen there (only in a scenario and even then the AI does it first without interaction from the player)
    Well it does make sense. DTG haven't managed to get a full timetable working on a busy route so unless they've cracked that (which they haven't else they'd apply the theory to Bakerloo...)...

    But during COVID, Gatwick Express was suspended - why would they include a GX train if they're going to use a timetable in which they didn't run?

    Why would they believe an underground route with half an hour between trains was acceptable
    Why would they believe three types of electrostar would make for different driving experiences
    Why, why, why...?
    DTG...

    It's a function which should have been included in HMA for certain, and possibly SKA. The DB definitely combines and de-combines consists, both ICE's and Regios.

    It's possible judging by the timetable stream. I wonder, however, if the dispatcher currently simply can't handle it under a busy timetable, and thus why it's not used.
