A common service in TSW looks like this: You get in a train, look inside the passenger coaches and get excited because there are loads of people on board! But: You then open the doors and everybody just leaves... And the few people that are left will get off at the next station. That is obviously not realistic and ruins the immersion. So: The percentage of passengers on board that leave the train at a station has to be limited! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In contrast to everyone leaving the train, there still are very few passengers waiting at the station to get in. Most of them only spawn when the station is in view distance and loaded, those will then mostly not get on the train. So: The stations should, when loading in, already spawn with passengers on them. Only few people arrive at the station in real life when the train is just arriving or already there. It is just not fun starting a full train, then seeing everybody getting off and noone getting on, so you drive an almost empty train for most of the time, especially in busy areas like the Underground.
I have noticed this on London Commuter and it just looks so odd. There have been times when I am running a service almost empty after leaving Gatwick Airport, and from actual real-world experience, it is nothing like that.
Also on SKA but I think its since Rush Hour at least on SKA, HRR. And I dont get it. Nobody is entering or leaving the train on the whole journey
I'm not trying to defend dtg in anyway but in my experience, at certain times you hop on a train in London and its packed, a few stops down the line and the train is empty. The same goes for the London underground. There's sections where you find it hard to even squeeze onto a train then before you know it your one of 2 people sitting on it.
I get your point, but it is quite rare in my opinion. And the stations where many people get off will mostly be big stations like Waterloo or so. But in TSW it will just be the next station which can be a completely irrelevant one.
