    My honest opinion.

    Cons

    No GSMR / TPWS on the 47
    DsD on the 47 is broke
    47 needs more exhaust (clag needs to be seen a plenty)
    Sound is broke on the 45
    Only one version of the 40 ( no domino headcode box)
    Mark 1's look Ok but look like they are reskins.
    Some sounds missing from the Mark ones.

    Scenarios (10 of them). Only tried a couple that are 90 minutes long but they are literally devoid of traffic. In one of them 7 ai trains in one scenario. There is the odd wagon dotted in sidings across the route.

    No extra timetable services added to ECML or the other routes the 47 subs in on. It subs for the other 47's on certain routes.

    Pros

    47 looks nice.

    Mark one coaches can be used in creating your consists for free roam or scenarios etc etc.

    I like the idea for the scenarios though but poorly executed with lack of added ai etc etc.

    That's about it really.

    If you have the cash spare go for it, if you don't , wait for a sale.

    To be honest I was really looking forward to this pack. Dissapointed in it at the moment.

    I played this on the PS5.

    Hentis.

    My own personal opinion.

    The mark 1 carriages are nice.

    Erm...

    When the updates come through I'm sure it'll be a nice addition.

    I was poised to buy this pack on release day, but held off because of this lack of AI traffic. That's a killer for me. Thanks for going through the scenarios, helped me make a " no buy for the present " decision. Shame, it's my favorite era for UK rail.

    It's hard to fathom why this dlc was released in this condition.

    If the AI can be fixed, I might be back in the market.

    I did one of the sceanrios yesterday and I think the first Azuma I passed was sitting at the platform at Newark. The scenario started at Peterborough so would have expected to have passed at least 4 or 5 plus perhaps some freight. I hope that go back and add more AI.

    just to confirm the lack of AI is an internal build issue. We are working to have the fix in the forthcoming patch. Mike was as upset as anyone as he spent weeks on AI! Apologies from the team on this. We aim to restore rapidly.
