    Hi.

    So i know its only day 1, this might already be known. But i thought it best to flag the issue:

    On Blackpool Branches, whenever i try and take a photo of my engine in photo mode. The train is empty. With no lights, passengers, or even a driver!

    I don't know if this is console specific, route specific or even just me. But i thought I'd point it out

    Screenshot in game:

    Photo mode removes the driver on ps5 not sure about the passengers

    I'm not 100% sure but if you enter photo mode from external camera your driver should still be in drivers seat it was for me I think.

    The driver is technically flying around the frozen time frame in game, so, by design, he shouldn't be in the seat.
    As for the passengers and lights, if they do not come back if you get really close, then it is a bug. If they do, then it is likely they are being unloaded at a distance to save memory.

    I haven't taken any photo mode screenshots with the direct intention of photographing passengers in the train, but here are a couple (albeit, difficult to see):

    East Coastway (1 passenger sat in First Class):

    London Commuter (Electrostar is empty, but the Networker is full of passengers):

    Passengers are definitely there at the stations.

    I found this to be caused by the angle you are looking at the train, from one angle the passengers are visible when you view from the opposite direction they dissapear.

    This makes sense. Other games I used to play had similar quirks.
