Route Midland Main Line - Feedback Thread

Mucked about quite a bit and this seems to work
Master key ON
Reverser Neutral
DRA OFF
Open / close doors
Reverser FORWARD
Brakes off
Throttle on… movement!

 

It's kind of wierd the 158 spawns with the dra on, because that doesn't really happen on any other train

 

All went well until Beeston…. Train would not move.. reset.. still nothing.. followed the steps set out previously.. still nothing :-(

 

What are you playing console or pc

 

PS5… The bug is this I think..

The game doesn’t realise the doors are shut, even when they are…. I just retried opening and closing them out of curiosity, the guard buzzer sounded, buzzed back and the train moved.

This isn’t happening at every station as I made Beeston

 

I works just fine on xbox so must be a playstation bug.

 

It simulates a guard on the 158, you have to wait until you get the buzzes to be able to move

 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. You may need to provide more information about what you're doing in order for help to be provided. There are regular streamers who play MML without any issues like this. I have it on PS5 as well and don't encounter such issues.

Are you playing a scenario, and if so which?
Are you playing a timetable service and if so, which?
Are you playing via the Journey menu, if so which?
Are you spawning on foot and taking charge of a train, if so are you able to identify it? Usually listed on the pause menu under 'Overview'.

 

I tried a couple of services today.. got nowhere.. I just gave up.. pressed dra, multiple times, responded to guard buzzers, reset, tried everything I could try… restarted, did the training session again to see if I’d missed anything.. retried a service.. nothing ..I didn’t note the service numbers but will try again tomorrow..

 

It’s certainly a bit odd as I drove the MML 158 on the ECML yesterday evening and other than checking the DRA was off had no issues releasing the brakes and taking power, once the Guard buzzed me.

 

What platform are playing on .

 

Why have all of sudden got 145 hst jobs. There was never that many to start of with.

 

PS5… I’m going to try again this morning

 

I know this might asking a lot but could maybe upload a short video of when you set and try to move. Might able to help you better that way if you still have no luck.

 

I think this is user error.. oh boy… .. ive tried two services this morning and both worked.. eventually, 1L05 and 1R62… and its the dra button, which is set opposite to every other train that I’ve driven (that I know of). (I think this issue might have been raised earlier and I didn’t understand it..)
I thought previously it was the doors not being recognised as closed even after buzzing the guard but that’s likely not the case
LucaZone .. is the dra set in this position irl or is this an error?

I’ll do some other services and see if it’s just me not realising this trains setup is different to others.

 

I did suspect it was the DRA. While a nice attention to detail, if the default for safety systems is “off” when you load a run, then that should also apply to the DRA as even seasoned veterans can get caught out!

 

Yes… every days a school day… lol
But, I ve done services IL05 Gran-PBO, 09:10, and IR64 PBO-Gran 09:26 but didn’t see the other service on either run… I expected a crossover at some point given there’s only 15mins between start times and they’re obviously running in opposite directions .. all I saw were some 801s…

 

How do you make a video using a PS5?

 

I be honest I have no idea I would record using my phone then upload it. But thats cause im old and not very techy person. Lol

 

Press the 'share' button (above the d pad next to the touch pad). Choose either 'save recent gameplay (upto 30 mins) or start new recording. (When you want to stop, just press same button and press on 'stop recording'

 

Cheers… I’ll try and have a go at that.

 

Do the trains on this route have suspension.

 

Nay lad.

 

Thanks mate feels weried without suspension now.

 

Hiya,
Suspension was implemented for the HST and 158 on MML back in 2025. They join the queue of awaiting release.

 

What! Seriously. That update would make driving trains so much better.

 

Adam, you really need to have a serious conversation with DTG and get them to stop sitting on your updates for absolutely ages for seemingly no reason, because it's getting ridiculous

 

I agree. there are so many angry people to third party development that to them "doesn't support their content" and here Skyhook is waiting literally years to have an update released that's already done. I mean the game gets new core features and random bug yearly, every dlc release breaks something new. I'd become hopeless if I did my best keeping my dlc fixed and funcioning when the publisher doesn't push the update for a literal year
