    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to the game and i'm a bit lost lol

    When I go into the game menu to select a train, I am then offered several options such as Timetables, Scenarios, or Training. When I choose Timetables, for several trains, selecting one does not immediately start the experience. Instead, I am presented with multiple variants of the same train sometimes they look like exact duplicates without any difference.

    These variants seem to be linked to specific routes, but this is not always easy to identify, as the route is not clearly indicated in the train’s name. After choosing one of these variants, I am then asked to select a route separately. This means that I can end up selecting a train variant that appears to belong to one route, and then, in the next menu, select a different route like with the BR 442 in this exemple.

    Overall, this is quite confusing and I find it difficult to understand how these train variants and routes are meant to work together. I would appreciate some clarification or explanation on how this system is intended to function, so I can navigate the menus more easily and make the correct choices.

    Simple answer: The majority of this is a bug introduced with iteration six of TSW, showing lots of trains multiple times in the timetable selection (eg. three 1972 stock that lead to the same place, or some variants not intended for display there as they are for Formation Designer or spawning). That wasn't the case in TSW5. It is completely irritating, but DTG can't be bothered as they have, um, priorities...
