The level of detail in services descriptions has kinda been all over the place varying route to route. It would be a good idea going forward to mention what type of train you’re driving, especially if you don’t know headcodes. For example, on ECML a lot of the 801 service descriptions say “drive this LNER service from Peterborough to Doncaster” with no indication of whether it’s non-stop or all-stop. Going forward the description should either specify all the names of the stops or say: -all stop -semi-stopping -non-stop I find myself going in and out of services until I find one a like and with a lot of dlc that can take time.
First they need to make the current descriptions accurate. There are a few examples where this is not the case. Personally I prefer it the way it is as I never know if I want a non stop run or not.
I've been thinking this specifically about steam era services. Players shouldn't have to search the internet for what lamp headcode to assign to the front of the locomotive. The description for goods trains should have the headcode letter and what the max permitted speed for that train is, if it isn't reflected on the speed limit HUD in-game.
