    Hello folks,

    This is the official master feedback thread for the Thames Valley: Windsor, Henley & Marlow Branch Lines Route Add-On.

    Please keep all discussions related only to feedback, and include the game platform you are using in any comments. Off-topic messages might be deleted or moved to the appropriate threads.

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

    Here are a few examples of how to best provide feedback and what to avoid:

    Helpful issue reports

    • "PC (Steam), Service XYZ, the AI train at X remained stationary, blocking the route. This has happened 3 out of 3 attempts. Screenshot attached."
    • "Xbox Series X: The station announcement audio at Y is much quieter than other stations. I've noticed it on multiple services."
    • "PS5 - Passengers do not board at Z Station. I was able to reproduce this every time."
    Positive feedback (also welcome!)
    • "PC: Really enjoying the scenery between A and B. The route looks fantastic, especially at sunset."
    • "PS5: The train handling feels great, and the services are a lot of fun to drive."
    • "The ambient audio around the stations is excellent and really adds to the atmosphere."
    Less helpful feedback
    • "It's broken."
    • "Fix this."
    • "The route is bad."
    • "Game crashed." (without any details about where, when, or how it happened)
    The more details you provide, whether reporting an issue or sharing something enjoyable, the more helpful your feedback will be to the team.

    As always, thank you for your feedback.

    All the best,
    Jan

    I have found this DLC very relaxing and wanting to continue playing the next service. I played the first departure from Slough to Windsor . Once I finished the service at Windsor, I returned to free roam where it showed the next service departing in one minute…So, I did the return back to Slough. Once I got to Slough and finished the service, returned to free roam and showed service was leaving in one minute. I figured why not, one more round trip……. I did that 2 more times .Not sure how the scheduled shift works but get the feel on how it might be done IRL

    The only thing I have to point out so far is that the train cuts into the platform on track 5 at Twyford, whereas there appears to be a bit too much of a gap between the track and the platform on track 4. I’m referring to the start of the platform, where there is a fairly sharp curve.

    Playing on Xbox. I’m riding the 9:31 from Maidenhead to Marlow as a passenger to get a feel for the route and I noticed that when I got to Bourne End, the driver (and her mate) stayed in, what was, the front carriage and didn’t change ends. The train took off for Marlow with no driver in the front carriage.
    Edit: Same on the way back - 10:11 from Bourne End. I have’t tried any other services yet,

    Also, from an aesthetic point of view, whilst I am impressed with the decor around the Marlow Donkey pub, sadly the building is completely the wrong shape.

    Great walk along the Thames at Bourne End BTW. My old jogging route in the 80s :)

    Another Edit: Mastery appears to be missing. According to the preview stream, there should be mastery to get the replica steam train at Windsor.

    So far I've tried the Windsor Line and about 1 mile past Slough there is a bridge that has shifted in axis and there is a collision with the train bogies...... such a small steel bridge originally double-track
