Roadmap Update 13th October 2020

Do 313 go from

Thanks for replying. That would definitely help just having a standard format for time. To be honest I hadn't really noticed about utc much. But may of came across it from seeing release dates.

 

313 goes on the East Coastway if that's what you tried to say

 

sorry does 313 go to Eastbourne from Brighton. I've seen it for Seaford. And Portsmouth to Brighton.

 

Surely will serve the Seaford Branch, I am not sure about Eastbourne but I think it will

 

313 runs brighton to seaford and lewes shuttles

 

Thank you for the roadmap. Am looking forward to Oakville and Cane down the road.

Also,

They should use GMT not bloody UTC !


You're aware that GMT and UTC are the same thing? Good. Are you also aware that BST and GMT are not the same thing? Good.

The reason we use UTC is because a large number of Brits don't get that BST and GMT are different, so end up turning up an hour early then yelling about it being cancelled.

I laughed way too hard and way too long at this. (I just know karma's going to pay me a visit)

Now, how to quote. arrrggg

I was going through the Roadmap, looking at the route codes that you have added. I was wondering what the code for Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen is. I would assume it is based in R7, but there is no room between RRO and HMA Is it R6 then? Any details DTG Natster or DTG Protagonist ?

 

Forgive my ignorance, but am I correct in assuming that when Britons refer to “the war” they mean World War II?

 

Yes, that’s generally what we mean. All other wars are usually named but WWII is just referred to as ‘the war’ in general conversation. Not always and certainly not officially.

 

Not as colorful as the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1748), but if any war deserves to be named: The War, it's World War II.

 

Still waiting on st pancras to Faversham

 

I think you mean St. Pancras to Faversham.

 

Yep my mistake

 

Roadmap tuesday today so before this thread closes
I'll say I wonder if anything good will be on the roadmap today

 

SE: HS!!1111! YEEEEEEESSSSS!!

 

NEXT ARRIVAL Bug fixes for IOW on console. Hurrah!
UPCOMING Layers for HMA working on console. Whoopee!!
IN PRODUCTION The sun in the sky on console and fixes for all the other bugs. Woo-hoo!!!
IN PLANNING Routes that work properly and fully on all platforms. Hallelujah!!!!

 

I mean, the layers are actually exiting for me. If I can run all of them on my crappy old Xbox One S, then I’ll definitely buy the route. I still do want a next-gen console though, eventually.

So does anyone know how long it will be till the next roadmap today?

 

That’s unknown, they usually drop the Roadmap at 11:00 AM EST and it’s going on 11:30, maybe they’re having technical difficulties.

 

The UK changed back to winter time (UTC / GMT / Zulu) last weekend so it is only 15:30 here. Bit early for the roadmap yet.

 

Yes it has always dropped at 15:00 UTC. Its currently 15:30 UTC.

 

Maybe something to do with daylight savings? Do they do it early there? I’m asking because they’re only 4 hours ahead of us and I thought it was usually a 5 hour difference. Or maybe somebody just forgot to write the thing.

edit: haha, okay, you posted while I was typing

 

Daylight savings already happened in the UK?
So maybe they’ll release it in a half hour.

 

So around noon EST would be my guess.

 

No we do it the same weekend it has always been done. The USA changed their weekend back about 13 years ago.

 

Perhaps we did, I wasn’t trying to say the UK does it at the wrong time, but it’s still different than in the US.

 

It has been 4pm UTC in the U.K. since launch. So it should be out at 4pm today. 20 minutes.

 

4pm UK time has been 3pm UTC since launch. This week’s is the first week where 4pm UK is also 4pm UTC because our clocks went back an hour at the weekend.

 

We work to local times, but reflect them in UTC. As we just finished British Summer Time (BST) which was UTC+1 we've now reverted to GMT which is the exact same as UTC.

 

The main thing I see in this roadmap thread is Timezone talk
