    Goodaye guys hope all is well.
    I have the suggestion of Depot Driver mode.

    I quite enjoyed the depot driver scenario in the new route and also in the LGV route, it's nice to have some depot driver representation, after all it takes all kinds of drivers to keep the railway moving.

    It would be nice to have a mode where we have different tasks to do, whether it's CET, fuel, prep, move,wash or platform trains. Or even fault find. You could build on the freight hauler code where it gives you destinations for wagons, well just give destinations for multiple units, coaching stocks or even just regular freight wagons needing shunting to other sidings.

    Well, that's it really.

    Sounds fun, we definitely need more modes than just timetable and a few scenarios

    In the US, they call it a hostler job. Also, we could have rolling stock to run around the loco maintenance facilities or to deliver fuel or sand loads.

    Each to their own, but I find these sort of scenarios unappealing. :)

    Fair enough :)
    It’d just add another type of Variety.

    Nice to see you Vern
