Route Airedale & Wharfedale Network: Leeds & Bradford - Skipton & Ilkley - Feedback Thread

The gangway between the first two units appears to be still missing on the 801, post update.

 

Tried to do 'The White Rose Kipper' railtour part 1 with the 37/5 RF and it's not powerful enough.
On the branch section with the steep hill I was down to 25mph.
The rear loco is essentially dead weight and doing nothing.
You can't keep the timings.

 

I'm not sure if this one was reported, I've seen other posts about trigger happy TPWS at stations however.

I got a TPWS intervention around 2-ish miles north of Keighley when heading southbound with 6D37, it was for the drop in linespeed to 60mph, the issue is my Class 66 was only doing a couple of mph under that limit and was in notch 4. Evidently a trigger happy loop decided I was going to somehow bust it and dumped the brakes on me.

I've already gotten into the habit of hitting the train stop override button when pulling into Bradford and Ilkley (Leeds seems ok) but don't want to have to pull the breakers going forward, especially as that kills the AWS as well :/

 

The TPWS has had me before Keighley too, though weirdly only in the 66. The 331 (which I drive quite aggressively) hasn’t triggered that grid, and with the 66 I’m more preserved due to the weight. Certainly an odd one.

The other thing bugging me is that you’re forced to sit through the time between your end stop & the service end time. There’s a lot of padding on this timetable (which to my surprise is accurate to the real thing) so you’re into the various termini a few minutes early & your unload is done after 30 seconds - you just have to sit there then.

At the very least, I’d like to see the door closures here removed, no train is getting to its final stop & closing doors after 30 seconds.

 

Id like to see more AI at Leeds. Such as trains to Blackpool north etc. Seems very quiet with not much activity

 

I have seen more life at a graveyard, than at Leeds Station!!

 

Platform: PC / Steam
Scenario: Timetable, Service 2S08 (Class 333 from Bradford to Skipton, departure 08:08).
I took over the train at Frizinghall after driving as passenger (before that I took service 2P24 from Leeds to Bradford)
What happened:
arrived at Keighley, opened the doors, then after closing doors the scenario suddenly was stopped/finished because of some train derailed(????). I was still standing!!! So I have no clue what or who was derailed.
