    Are we still going to be chased around the routes by our operations managers asking us if we want to give up control of the route when we have to switch a few sets of points or walk halfway down a steam freight train to let the brakes of the fitted stock because someone decided that unfitted stock goes between the loco and the fitted stock?

    Short answer: yes.
    Longer answer: I've seen several comments of this kind and am going to discuss with the professor to see if there's a simple change can be made later.

    I guess the issue might be there is currently no other way to surrender a service (that I know of) without reloading the game. I guess you could allow people to change the length of time before the message pops though.

    or better yet change the default value to not surrender the service so I don't accidentally surrender it like what happened on the stream yesterday

    The default has been changed to NO - so your "accidental" click now keeps you in charge of the service.

    Alex accidentally pressed yes on the stream. Muscle memory I guess but I think you can always clear it with B (controller) or Esc instead of moving the mouse. It's good that the default is now on 'no' because of pressing things with A a lot (like releasing brakes on wagons).

    We should be allowed to set a higher limit in the options for this message (it's 2 minutes I believe).
     
  9. Probably the longer you leave a service sitting around the higher the chance the dispatcher will lose it.

    Sometimes I've left my service and hoped on another train as a passenger. Then realised the train won't move until I give up my service and that moves along.

    If you had to wait 5 mins or more for the prompt all the other services would start running late maybe.

    To surrender a route you press menu and select return to main menu
