    Good morning, folks!

    This is the dedicated master feedback thread for the Avanti West Coast Class 805 Add-on from All Aboard Studios.

    Please keep all discussions only related to feedback of this add-on and provide the game platform you are using in any comments for feedback. Thank you!

    When providing feedback, please always add the following details if possible:
    • Platform (i.e.: PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One)
    • Service/Scenario/Area played when the issue occurred.
    • Repeatability. How often does this issue occur?
    • Images/Videos of the issue occurring.
    Known Launch Issue on Xbox Series X

    Alongside the release of the Avanti West Coast Class 805 loco add-on, we wanted to share a known issue which we weren’t able to resolve for players on Xbox Series X platforms.

    During final testing, our teams have encountered crashes when launching the “Bound to Edinburgh” scenario on Xbox Series X, preventing the scenario from being played.

    Unfortunately, due to this issue being discovered last-minute, we are unable to hold the release on the platform, which we would otherwise consider.

    We want players to have the best possible experience with these add-ons, and we apologise to players on Xbox Series X whilst our teams work with All Aboard Studios to find a resolution to this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, we will update you when we have more information on a hotfix.

    Xbox seems to be always drawing the short straw on releases these days. From wrong release builds, to "correct" builds now being faulty.

    I think I need to go to PC now.

    My case rests. Xbox/DTG core issues are awful. Playstation I can't speak for, but for the price I paid for my Xbox and the insane amount of money I've spent over the years on this game, it's shambolic.

    Playstation doesn't have half as many issues as xbox. It definitely doesn't have the "memory issue" either

    Consider yourself lucky that you've managed to evade that, because it's honestly soul destroying.

    Yes it does. And it happened to me when I loaded the first Northbound service out of Euston in the 805 (headcode I can't remember) but it was the very first Northbound service.

    Folks experiencing crashing - what services is this happening on?

    Does it happen via to the trains and/or route selection?

    For myself, Xbox Series X, it's happened once on route selection and twice on the trains. Once on the first Northbound service, and then on 1R14.

    Avanti Class 805 - Xbox Crashing Hotfix (Live Now)

    Hello everyone - we've now pushed a hotfix that should address the crashing you experience when playing services.
    This will require you to update the Class 805 and Birmingham-Crewe Add-ons

    Following these steps will help you see the updates if you do not:
    - Quit out of TSW6
    - Restart your Xbox console
    - Head to My Games & Apps > Manage > Updates

    We hope this improves the experience, please continue to let us know of any feedback in the thread!

    I've noticed all the services spawn in with the pantograph down. Did you try lifting the panto?

    Just finished my first service (on Birmingham - Crewe) and I'm liking it so far, the train sounds really good and feels nice to drive; I've only found a couple bugs so far

    -On load transformer cuts out when going over junctions
    -TPWS set test announcer incorrectly says ‘AWS operational’ instead of TPWS & AWS operational’
    - Cab Hvac sound cuts out at highspeed
    - Safety system light is bugged
    -Announcements seem to ignore the volume you set it to

    805 update has seemed to fix the crashes for me.
    Ran from MK to Euston, no issues.

    I did, Pantographs were up on both sets, everything set correctly. Just not taking any power.

    All other 805 services I've tried work as expected on electric after being set up.

    Hi
    In the new timetable for WCMLS multiple class 350 services to Milton Keynes and Tring are missing.

    If you spawn on foot at Euston for example at 12.05 you’ll find the 12.09 service to Milton Keynes shown on platform 11 but formed of 0 coaches! Another example would be the 08.39 to Milton Keynes also shown as formed of 0 coaches, or the 16.34 to tring again advertised as formed of 0 coaches and nowhere to be seen. I think quite a few are missing.

    This is on PS5

    Hope this helps.

    After updating post launch, the "9S44 Bound for Edinburgh" scenario on WCMLs still causes crashes to dashboard.

    What was the point of the 805 when the pendolino could do such a better job. What the reasoning avanti to use these 805s.

    Take over the Voyagers to travel on non electrified routes, such as Holyhead, Wrexham etc etc and for diversions.

    Because the BTP 350 is a /2 and at the time this timetable is set (Summer 25), the /2's were being withdrawn.

    I only get blurring approaching London around Queens Park. And so far, I've found the timetable pretty busy (much busier than the default) and according to someone else nothing was cut on PS

    Blurring for me (Xbox) begins after the Watford Tunnel heading into London. And persists until Camden Sidings where it smooths out.

    It really depends on the amount of traffic and where you are on the route tbh, my original comment was from doing a morning service to London, right now I'm in rush hour away from London and have had on and off blurring (I'm at Berkhamsted now)

    Question why show us how to change from electric mode to diesel mode. When the routes it layers onto we would never use diesel mode would we.
