    Sometimes on Cathcart the lights go out in the stations. You guys really should pay the power bill ;).

    When you're driving at night time usually there are lights in the stations, but sometimes not. This is a shot from service 2I17 in Winter Blizzard.

    I'll post a ticket for this, just curious if other people are seeing this.

    I had that as well on the one night run I did so far. The stations on the Newton branch, all good and lit, but then the stations along the Circle line were all completely dark. Same goes for the building next to the tracks, although I'm not sure whether they are supposed to have lights or not.

    What time of day are you driving?
    In I ther routes the lights are set to come on and go off at a certain time of day, regardless of whether the in game world has had sunset or not.

    This is a TSW-core issue. Weather-settings dependent probably ** it's just a theory

    I think that is true indeed. Although sometimes I arrive at a station with the lights on but if I overstay there long enough the lights go out.

    I’ve had station lights suddenly switch on while at an evening stop at ebbsfleet international on SEHS. The game clock had just tripped past the hour (7 or 8pm I forget which now).

    I used to think so too, but this video, unfortunately, refutes this theory :)

    Well that answers the question on whether the game lights are on a timer.

    I have just checked this scenario. The 'time' theory, however, is the closest to the truth. These anomalies, if any, always occur at the same time in a particular scenario. I used to suspect world tiles weather settings, but in this case, I stopped the train and waited.

    I agree. On Cathcart on 2I17 done in Winter Blizzard, its fine until 8am when the lights go off.
