I think most of us can agree, that TSW starts to get boring after a little while. Operating a train isn't always fun and dandy, it can be stressful sometimes, it can be exciting. TSW doesn't capture this in the game. I think they need to add some dynamic events to the game. It could be an option you can turn on/off in the main menu. Things they can add: Passengers holding doors. Door failures. More bunched trains to allow for more yellow lights and delays. Track Work making trains go slow in certain zones/shuttle service. Different types of services (play as a guard/conductor). Add announcements that players can turn on (on certain trains). Signal Failures (they would have to rework the SPAD system for this). If you like this suggestion, please like this so DTG can see this is a popular suggestion.
I think these features should be added. It would add more immersion and realism to the game and make it more intresting
For more realism to UK in particular, I would also like to see a Track Maintenance machine also be added. So that into the timetable, the Tamper or such has to go out to the possession, and then you drive it back early in the morning. That would be great fun. You could also add the driver training services for more realism. Purely because this is normally what happens in the evenings. Especially on ECW.
I would like see Dynamic Train Dispatcher (Railway Controller) assign static units/train sets/loco/carriages/wagons to services/diagrams, be Railway Controller, remove/add wagons/carriages, swap loco/unit/trainset. Platform altfromtion because no driver, Dynamic number of drivers, able to set number of drivers on duty, could split drivers into depot driver and mainline drivers/ branch line drivers, set certain rolling stock withdrawn/serviceable/not ready/ready. services on demand (moving empty stock from depot to depot/sliding) etc Bakerloo Line Train 251 for changeover purposes.
I always wanted to do cold start from a depot on a loco/train, bring it into service, take it out of service and then shutdown the train completely. Especially on Köln -Aachen. That route still feels dead even with MSB preserved collection installed.
I am hoping that when the Class 101 comes to SKA, that Köln yard will be able to be used. It is really depressing to see it so empty. Being able to move around the yard and prep your train ready for service would be great.
