    From cab of class 20 neither U nor Y will open the doors, Tab menu does not offer door opening options, only speak to signalman. Can open the carriage doors manually but this does not allow me to proceed with the scenario. Have verified game files and reinstalled Blackpool branches to no avail. Everything else in the route works.The Class 20 operates correctly in all other routes. What am i doing wrong ?

    Now, after a succesful steam run to Blackpool North, when trying these Preston Docker trips again, I am spawned at random with no train in sight.

    PC. I am really flummoxed by this. May have to just not do the trips.

    Just a quick aside, I loaded TSW5 on my Steam Deck and did a run on Blackpool as a test. It was a scenario with the class 47 I believe. Anyway, using an Xbox controller (using the Steam Deck Dock to connect to a monitor) I ran into the same problem trying open the doors at the end of the run. Left or right on the directional pad would bring up all sorts of modifications for the left stick such as wipers, lights, etc. I think it is caused by a long press versus short press on the controller because eventually I was able to get the doors open then after many mashings of the controller , get them closed again to end the scenario. It was the first time for me to use a controller with TSW so just thought it me being ham-fisted. But the OP’s problem sounds suspiciously similar to what I experienced.

    I do have vague memory of a short lived problem re random spawning of the driver on one of the Southern UK routes, poss. Sehs or London to brighton which was quite quickly fixed. I have removed recent Mods to no avail.
