    I think there should be an option to keep up the in-game time and station dwell times on the screen even when the HUD of off, it ruins the immersion a bit when you have to constantly bring up the hud to check the time for when you have to arrive or leave a station. I don't want any other info such as distance from the next station etc.

    I support this idea.

    I like to know how long I am to be in a station for.

    Some stations it is 30 seconds, others itn9s 1 minute or more (in terms of loading passengers). It is complicated to try and learn dwell times for each station, especially if you're running late.

    Agreed, it really is an immersion breaker when you're in the zone and then have all that nonsense pop up.

    The whole passenger loading thing really needs overhauling. You should either wait until the booked departure if early or on time then close the doors. If you’re late, should be based on viewing the platform and as soon as passenger activity ceases, close the doors and right away.

    Ideally going forward, other than DOO or traction where the driver does operate the doors, station duties should not be handled by the driver but by the AI guard or platform staff, who give the RA once complete.
