    There's alot of speculation going on about the revoked licence,iam not an expert in these matters but I bet it's a big fat contract with alot of dotting the "i"s and "t"s so to speak,It's important to have company names in the game for emersion, that goes without saying ,but it's not a deal breaker IMHO

    I think you'll find the licence was agreed between LNWR/WMT's parent company Abellio as the former franchisee.

    However the DfT are now running LNWR and have revoked all commercial licences for all aspects of the brand as they await the law to pass to allow for renationalisation.

    The DfT don't own LNWR yet.

    The DfT have a overall controlling stake in the future of the route. They've revoked a lot of commercial agreements with a lot of outside companies that aren't just in video games across a whole range of products.

    But they don't own the companies themselves, apart from the select few under their operator of last resort.

    The DfT only own the franchise, not the company running the franchise.

    Ain't it supposed to say where the train is going and what the next stop is on the train door. As the class 390 135 is going from Glasgow Central to London Euston, but the next stop says on the destination board on the inside of the train and also the platform destination board say the same thing as motherwell so that sounds right except from the train doors, as it's making me confused lol

    I think they said this was going to be fixed in the first route update in the coming weeks/months.

    This 390 seems to be hungry for buffers on platform 14 at London Euston ( x box series X post patch update )

    That's really disappointing - they said the update fixed this.

    Why are these prerelease threads not locked as soon as a DLC is out? Adds to confusion, there's on official feedback thread to post in.

    Out of all the platform numbers and all the people on this forum, it makes me smile that it were you and platform 14.
