PS5 Wcml: Birmingham To Crewe Modern Timetable Showing Twice On The Timetable Menu

I have noticed on the Wcml: Birmingham to Crewe route the GJR: Modern timetable is repeated twice under timetable on the menu where it only showed up once before today’s update. Showing the the same amount of timetable services on each one for the modern timetable

 

Same for me, buyed this route today

 

Not just me then

 

The developers didn't bother to give the reduced timetable a different name to the full one, so now each time you run it you have to guess which one you're supposed to use for decent performance. Players are reporting "no difference in performance" since the update, but I suspect they're inadvertently using the full timetable since it's not obvious at all. The only way to tell which one's which is to open the timetable and look at the layers. The full one has 26, the reduced one has 25.

 

I found out by seeing no AI northern services at a Crewe

 

Well following today's announcement we know that's going to be fixed now, so I suppose that puts this subject to rest. I think AABS have done the right thing in listening to the feedback. The fact they've taken it on board, announced they'll be fixing things and decided to reinstate the services that were removed from the full timetable will probably serve them in the long run. At the very least their products will avoid being lumped into our "best not spend too much as they'll never fix it" wishlists. I suspect (and hope) that some if those who reported no improvement with the patch on consoles were actually inadvertently launching the full timetable, due to the fact the two versions had the same name.
