    Xbox Series X - So far no blurry textures (hooray). I have encountered a couple of problems on the short Underground section. Firstly, when riding as a passenger in the class 484, if you go into external view then go back, you find yourself plonked on the spare seat in the cab and can't stand up so you're stuck there until the train leaves the playable area.

    Secondly, you can't cross the footbridge at Westbourne Park. If you go up the steps on either side, you are met with a brick wall. I had to run across the track. Fortunately I knew which are the live rails or I might have got electrocuted.

    My first drive was nice other than the front cab glass on the right side being crazed. A bit annoying when trying to see something on the right. I am on pc, Steam and do have mods installed. The wipers were going in the light rain was having. bandicam 2026-02-06 11-00-27-662.jpg

    According to JetWash you can put a ini file like WCML south into here and it should be fine until he gets the new save file out.

    You need the Isle of Wight 2022 Class 484 which gets reskinned into an LU train.
    Also Euston to Milton Keynes for 72 Stock AI

    On XBox Series S, problem setting off in Class 802 on 5Z16 Royal Oak CS to Reading after diesel changeover.

    Stopped at Hayes & Harlington (last station at end of 25kV) and went through the usual procedure.

    Reverser Neutral
    Press engine start until hear engines
    Press diesel
    Pantograph down
    Reverser forward
    Apply power, nothing happens?

    Can hear the engines but can't get the train to move. Help please?

    I disabled mods and the issue with the glass went away, so it is one of my loaded mods. I checked other trains and locos and they are not affected, only the class 165/166. In the old 2016 tt, both front windows are affected. Since its only the 166 and I plan, now, to only used the 2017 tt for GWE, I will live with it for now.
    Also with the ini file from WCML south loaded into God Mode, I do have TOD 4 weather.

    The ex-C2C class 387 is missing the yellow bits on the doors:

    Other than that a really enjoyable experience!

    Well done on this free update, just had a quick run in a HST from Reading to Pad, noticed that on the up fast when approaching Pad there are no advanced warning boards for the lower speeds also when stopped in Pad (08:29 arrival plt 10) the station announces the next departure from plat 10 is the 08:29 to Pad? presume this happens with all arrivals?

    Steam - I encountered a bug while operating the 1P26 service with HST; upon approaching Acton Main Line station, the line towards Paddington was blocked , the trains in front of me are queuing and the trains at Paddington can't leave except for LU.
    The signals are all red, and even though I've deleted some trains, it doesn't change anything. :(

    Xbox series s. The substitution on this route isn't great. Predominantly GWR trains. Is their any possibility of fixing the substitution for liveries. It worked earlier this morning when the remaster was released and somehow I can't really see any FGWs. I have only seen 2 but they were in the mix with the GWR hst.

    Edit: the substitution I mean is the liveries. Formation substitution is fine and I can see a lot. It's more the unique liveries. DTG Harry could you get the team to look at this potentially?

    Yes it's nicely done. Have put some general comments in the main forum thread. One or two to mention here - first as I noted Reading station pretty much deserted at 1500, when in reality would be awash with passengers.

    Also running fast on the Down Main with a non stop HST from Paddington to Reading I had at least two AWS warning horns, presumably for junction speed restrictions not applicable to my train which should be suppressed if running down the Main.

    So, I've managed to find a way to reduce all blurring on Xbox Series X. I've disabled the Voyager, 350 and the AI overground trains from Mildmay. And it runs like an absolute dream! Seriously hoping DTG can fix this core very soon, as having to disable layers is becoming a faff. But for now? I'm very happy!

    So for me, the route is 100% unplayable.

    Just outside Slough a point appears to be misaligned making all AI trains come to a halt.

    not bad so far, but I am quite disappointed in lack of services for 802 and 220... thats what I was looking forward the most for the modern stock, so I could fly with it here, instead I got empty stock moves and yard/shunting...

    Ran into stuck trains outside of Slough as well and trying to delete them caused a hard-freeze of laptop (Steam/Win11 fwiw).

    Hopefully there's a hotfix incoming

    Well, this is actually correct. 220 don't run to London, they use Reading as a reverse to exit off the map. And 802 is incorrect for the time period. At the time of this route being set, 802's were still in testing. We have an 802 test run.

    The wipers in the 166 aren't working. They wipe the screen in the wrong direction. Best way to see what I mean is by playing during a snow storm.
