    Would it possible to have the guard Buzzer to Buzz twice so the driver knows to pull away, so long as he buzzes back. This feature is in other older games and just adds so much immersion.

    Couldn't the slam door trains be AI controlled, so that the passengers open the doors and close them. Or say when the train halts in the station the doors open by themselves and when the guard sounds the buzzer all the doors close.

    It does seem a little immersion breaking that when operating a slam door train you control the doors in the cab, people were quite clever back then and knew how to open doors, lol. Saying that I fell out a few.

    It would be great and just add that little bit of immersion. And if added to the 38 stock they could add a guard rail and an AI guard for extra realism but I think I'm pushing it there.

    It would be good since LGV Med is the only route that has working guard (only on some scenarios), but ye, it would be good.

    An automatic guard buzzer, yes, where there’s supposed to be a guard.
    Or the bell button on the keyboard used as buzzer button, when there’s no bell on the loco.
