Would You Sacrifice Passengers For Performance?

Indeed.
Hopefully, issues involving unnatural movements will be resolved—such as passengers falling from the platform onto the tracks, passengers remaining on board out-of-service trains, and passengers getting stuck in place due to bugs following updates (images are available in another thread). If these are fixed, it will be a great experience.

 

The issue with passengers are twofold.
1. Behaviour, when driving high speed trains, passengers on stations behave as if they have just disembarked even though I am travelling on green signals, there would not have been a train that had just left. They also appear to get stuck when boarding or exiting a train.
2. They crop up in the most unlikely of places, part buried in platforms, hanging through bridges or worst of all standing in the track, this is very disconcerting when driving.

 

I understand the issue. Precisely because we are human, these inaccuracies bother us; it makes me feel bad every time I play WCMLS.
I don't live in the UK, but Harrow station has become terrible.
People climb down onto the tracks from the platform heading towards MK.
On the Euston-bound side, there are always three people frozen in mid-air...
...so every time I run the Class 350, the freight train, or the service to East Croydon...
It was working fine before the June 17th update.

 

The passengers are rubbish anyway. Bin them.

 

Passengers sacrifice themselves

 

nope i just want even better passenger with proper pathway's

 

I wouldn't mind if they could stop adding waiting passengers to platforms that never get them - for example fast line platforms on WCML South and one of the platforms at Neilston on Cathcart Circle which is for getting off the train only.

 

I think it's disgraceful they don't have disabled passengers in game?
Do we not exist?

 

Not really disgraceful to be honest, there are no children either. What kind of disabled passenger you want to see, people having difficulties with walking (there is already an old men with walking stick), people in wheelchairs, mentally disabled people? I mean how far do they need to go, before everyone is happy?

 

Regarding TSW passengers, their designated locations and movements are crucial. The individuals themselves must be present without discrimination.

 

Passengers in wheelchairs are fundamentally a gameplay mechanic that would improve interactivity in the guard mode, yes. Ramping it and helping those passengers to board and disembark.
That's a gameplay feature which is intrinsically tied to a specific kind of disability.

 

Said every RL bus and train driver ever.

 

Passengers are rubbish, but ghost towns are worse.
