In some ecs services, it is impossible to get the platinum medal even with safety systems and perfect stopping, this service requires 250 AP to get the platinum medal but you can only get 225 at most
I'm playing on xbox and there at lot off jobs like that it's mainly the short distance or yard jobs where you can only get gold and not platinum
If you want the medal, you can wiggle your train back and forth between signals to get AP for the distance driven.
It's not just ECS jobs, there are a number of other services that you can't "plat", mind you, this has been a thing going back a number of TSW iterations.
From the screenshot, we can find the Objective Completed score are zero, which would costs you 250 APs less and may prevent players getting platinum medal unless they wiggle their train back and forth to get more APs. Some other routes also have this Objective Completed Score issue, which the maximum score are 250 APs less than TSW4. Here are some example, in all cases safety systems are on and get all bonus (160/240) CCL 2024 timetable 5NXX Neilston-Neilston Turnback Sdg 490 in TSW5/ 740 in TSW4 Platinum Medal: 550 Neilston Turnback Sdg-Neilston 740 / 990 Platinum Medal: 800 5G11 Shields Depot-Glasgow Central Part 1 475/725 Platinum Medal: 550 Part 2 945/1145 Platinum Medal: 1000 In fact, all ECS in CCL 2024 tt become unable to get platinum medal due to this 250AP loss MGP 5A90 Ardwick T.M.D-Manchester Piccadilly 670/920 can get Platinum Medal ECML All ECS services between Platinum Medal: 1000IEP and Doncaster 670/920 can get Platinum Medal EDN Sprinter Express Timetable 5R08 Eastfield Depot-Glasgow Queen Street 865/1115 can get Platinum Medal MML timetable is normal, you can still get the same score as TSW4 It even affects some non-ECS serivces, altough you can still get platinum medal CCL 2024 2P02 Glasgow Central- Newton 6740/6990 EDN Sprinter Express Timetable 2N42 Alloa-Glasgow Queen Street 4895/5145 2P08 Dunblane-Edinburgh 8245/8495 There may be even more services affect by this since I didn't run and compare all services in timetable one by one. The Objective Completed score issue seems like a issue unique to TSW5 since TSW5 use the same scoring system as TSW4 and the Objective Completed score is normal in TSW4. Oddly enough, only some services on certain route has this issue. But I still hope DTG staffs like DTG Alex or DTG JD can find out what cause this Objective Completed score issue and fix it if it's a bug.
