    I want to make it quite clear, I adore London Commuter. I think it's an incredible achievement so I'm not criticising it and it's probably a fix thats coming in the future. But the lighting in the 377 cab at night (and indeed in tunnels) is all wrong. It's far too bright. This is on my PS5 20221105_174833.jpg

    Over a year ago Matt explained in a stream why this happens and that it could be fixed quite easily.
    We are still waiting for this "easy fix" today.

    I second this, I downloaded the route last night and it's almost as though cab lighting is on and the switch does nothing. It's a shame too because the headlights on the 377 are spot on (another bugbear of mine on various locos)

    Saying it's easy vs actually doing it is different. But then again, dtg probably put this in the we would like to fix this list that has gotten longer and longer. Just doesn't seem to be a priority at the moment since there's other more pressing issues such as save game, red lights and derails that prevent you from playing the game

  5. Even the more pressing issues don't seem likely to be fixed anytime soon. They have been present for months, years if you count the save game.

    I've still not purchased London Commuter because it seemed on release there were a number of issues and I still see things posted now that seem to flag up problems. However, as somebody who clearly enjoys the route would you say it's still worth purchasing? I have pretty much every other UK route, interested in how this compares now with SEHS and East Coastway which are probably the modern UK routes i've played most.

    For me yes it's absolutely worth the purchase. There's enough to keep you entertained and if you have the latest generation console you'll have layers such as the 166,313 etc. The positives do outweigh the negatives in my opinion.

    You can buy London Commuter without hesitation, the fun far exceeds the problems. Considering how many services LBN has,
    the faulty ones are only a tiny tiny fraction. Of course, that doesn't mean DTG shouldn't take care of them anyway.
