    I hope this is what you are looking for; if not, it's probably just my misunderstanding of it.

    So wish I would have looked for issues before parting with £15. Went to load London Euston to Milton Keynes on the 805 only to receive out of memory message and then crashed. Will there ever be a release that doesn’t have the DTG finger poke of doom?

    I've been looking into the AI operation of the Bakerloo (Sleet) test trains and I'd say they don't show up as AI, or do they only run at certain times of the year?

    They make it available at 10am PST because that is the time when the Steam main staff is in the office.

    If they released at 2am PST and something went wrong of course Steam would have someone to contact, but it would be the night shift workers (less people in the office, and usually do not have the same system permissions to do things as the "lead" members of the day shift).

    Well as there doesn’t seem to be any information on a fix for the 805, and it’s not the first time a release has gone live with major issues making it unplayable, I have taken the unusual steps to get a refund from Microsoft. When the issues have been resolved and it’s been proved the dlc actually works I may decide to revisit getting the dlc again, until then and with all future dlc’s I will be waiting to make sure there is favourable feedback rather than wasting time and money as this is happening too often.
