    Id like to be able to know what train i'm on in freeroam without taking over the service. that shouldn't be that hard? If there are departure boards then I can look at them at the stations, like in Bakerloo line or SEHS boards and destination sign on the trains. BUT what about other DLCs or in the deopt? 10.30 in the morning I found 3 trains in SWE in the Reading depot. all with engines on and passengers sitting on board?!? boarded the cab and pressed Y on my xbox controller. No service it said. pressed Y and took over the train. "Wait for service to start" 12:16. WHY can't we get the ability to see what service the train is SCHEDULED for without takin it over first? the game must be aware of this already. also when riding a train as passenger, why doesn't the service you are riding show its schedule under schedule? that would be a great addition to the game. especially being able to see what the train is supposed to do next. Say you're in the London city depot in the morning. several trains are there not in service. if u enter one of them wouldn't it be nice to know which service was scheduled for it for later? taking it over if its departing soon, with more time to set it up? Or take a magnificent screen shot or video of it departing with the destination showing etc... endless possibilities. Please make it happen DTG!

    Well. Destination Boards are being rolled out to all routes gradually, as for seeing where a train goes from the depot is kinda pointless, as they usually (not always but usually) go to the same place, and the service they are taking doesn't matter until later.

    I don't think it's pointless to know when a train is going into service/what it's scheduled to do later. I want to be able to in the game for the reasons mentioned.
