    I was just watching a youtube video of megasim driving the br 101 on westcorn wall and he was able to go from the front cab to the rear cab Instantly and i think i saw him do this before on a different train,So how does this work?Or could this just be from him editing the video that way.

    It is possible to do but you need a keyboard to do it.

    True, but I use a keyboard on the PS4/PS5 for some features. Instantly switching between cabs/locos to set switches, lights etc is much easier than getting out and walking to the other cab/loco.

    All XBox consoles have keyboard support. TSW2 has the keyboard shortcuts.
    I have keyboards hooked up to all my consoles since I play stuff like Elite Dangerous, where the galmap would be hell without it, and it's also handy for text chat.

    Similar but different.... There was/is a bug on the CL20's where in a certain position in the cab you can fall out of the loco! On PC with a keyboard (prob consol & keyboard too) there was a key bind to make you warp back to the cab.

    There was a controller option to warp back into the driver seat but doesn't work on tsw2 anymore.

    Are we talking about ctrl-0?

    I just recently started using this on my XBOX and have found it very convenient. Does anyone know if any other keyboard shortcuts like this in the game?

    There's quite an extensive list of keyboard commands in the (original) TSW2020 Manual https://live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/articles/article/tsw-help

    Also in addition to Ctrl "O" to return to cab when 'On Foot', Ctrl "-" and Ctrl "+" to switch between cabs there is also apparently Ctrl "A", Ctrl "B", Ctrl "C" and Ctrl "D" to switch between individual cab when multiple units are in formation. For example the four cabs on a two unit Class 377 formation or multiple locos on some American routes. This could be useful when you have "Joined To" another train and didn't shutdown the cab fully.
