Every service i do that goes through platform 5 heading north at harrow and wealdstone, i get npc's walk in front of the train and onto the tracks. Here is a picture of my train coming into harrow and wealdstone, the guy stops on the platform then when my train gets closer to him, walks straight out in front of me. Everytime since i got the route 2 weeks ago.
This has been previously reported and the Executive Producer even acknowledged the fact, but despite the fact there are many railway employees playing this game who might have been directly or indirectly involved with a fatality, there seems no great urgency to fix the issue. Not sure if it’s a core thing or on a route by route basis, as I had the same thing on Fife Circle last night. A passenger literally did the classic step off the platform in front of my Class 40 Railtour. It’s a rotten artefact and while it might make me unpopular for saying so, if DTG don’t get it sorted across the sim time to involve the licensors and infrastructure operators who would be quite horrified to see this type of incident endemic in the game. Pulling a few licenses might focus the minds at DTG a little.
Who knows maybe that is "A" reason for the lost license while TSW5 was being announced and its subsequent release. This also brings to mind the LIRR v2 DLC, the safety system requirement of not being able to disable it, was a prerequisite to obtaining the license. Yes? But you are correct that just may just be the catalyst to spur the Fix for this.
We used to see a few at Stirling and Bridge of Allan...it was horrific..i have seen drivers unable to continue.. around the areas of high attempts there are now lot of signs , CCTV. I hope this is sorted and soon..Edit to say the Samaritans do great work..as do railway staff..take care all.
