    As an enhancement to the new fast travel feature introduced with TSW5, here are a few ideas to enhance it.

    1.) Quick menu to select destination
    It's a bit tedious and time consuming to find and pinpoint a fast travel marker on the livemap, because a player needs to have some knowledge of where a certain place (since Live Map 2.0 still lacks of city names in the unzoomed map state).

    Save us all some time by just provide a list of the stations with fast travel marker and then we can select where we can go. No need to waste time finding a city and the appropriate marker.

    If you would implement a fast travel menu (just like the spawn menu with TAB) we even could avoid opening the livemap at all and immediately jump to the destination.

    2.) Fast Travel to every location
    In its current state, the player is only able to fast travel/teleport to certain locations (even a certain platform only of a large station).

    In the public editor, there is a option to rightclick on every location of the route map and select "Jump 3D world to here". Why can't we have this option in the game directly?

    1) Already exists, "Shift+F" will open a menu with all stations logically placed, on the WCML Euston is at the top and Milton Keynes at the bottom
    2) All stations are accessible, But i would like the ability to teleport to bridges and tunnels, especially since tunnels are already labelled on the map. Sometimes it's just nice to watch fast trains go by

    Ah, that's nice. I missed that feature of fast travel on the previews. Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Cool to have it in already.

    Yes, or for making the best shot. It would be nice to be able to fast travel anywhere you like. And this also would mean you could teleport from platforms which lie far away from each other without the need to run over to it or quit the session.

    I found the fast travel thing by complete accident. I hit the wrong buttons for using the Vectron's AFB and was surprised when I saw it. Handy if you know exactly where you want to go
