    The current version of guard mode in game is something that should be given to Beta Testers not players!
    Here's how I think DTG could make it better.
    Hopefully they are already working on a new version for TSW 6...
    1. Get rid of the weird hud that's says 15mph and the emergency brake symbol
    2. PLEASE ADD Driver's response to the two buzzers!
    3. Create a better timetable to view. Just duplicate the one from driver mode.
    4. Add points for opening and closing the doors
    5. Give a variety of different tickets options / choices
    6. Add the whistle to UK routes - already in-game for Frankfurt-Fulda
    7. Add some announcements and a bit more variety to the mode? (Not just moving bags!) (Maybe telling passengers to move back from the train etc)
    8. Remove the 'Stand at Guard Panel' option as seen on the Class 390 & 801. - Utterly pointless and wastes time.
    9. Add Guard mode to the class 158 from Midland Mainline and 801 from ECML
    10. Matt was keen to add AI guards as standard for when you are driving as seen on the class 158 on Midland Mainline.
    Overall DTG have given us a decent starting point with Guard Mode and I'm sure lots of players love it, however it could be ten times better.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Let me know your comments.

    P.S. Please call it Guard Mode not Conductor Mode.

    If they think that mouth of it shame they didn’t bother to fix it for Cardiff patch that’s been released the 153 pulling off with doors open leaving you behind on platform

    1. - Definitely needed
    2. 100%
    3. Would be great - even better if it also showed the miles to go so you had an idea
    9. 100%

    Well it would be nice just to get a run that actually requires you to check tickets etc., not just instruct you to wait for next station…
