just a vanilla run my only selection is to bump the hour to 9 a.m. and the i always test with the second departure time offered. I realize that i cannot enjoy this yet (?) as a Tram sim so i try the simplest of what the sim offers: sandbox, so-called Custom then select first tram offered, then simply select a route. My routes remain inverted as 8 down to 1 on this deluxe PS5 install ... since 1.0.2 as i recall.
My new experience (PS5): I deactivated the HUD. Since then, I´ve been far fewer problems with scheduled one-way trips. The speedometer is there, the traffic signs are recognizable, and the driver terminaldisplay shows accurate trip-information (incl. correct Timeline between the stations) That's all what you need. It's just an own small adjustment as an advanced Player. You don't really need the HUD.
