    My suggestion is to further enhance signalling aspect of tsw following on from the awesome accessibility at certain signal boxes (bare lane) in just trains awesome route how nice it would be to be able to take on roll of signaller depends on what signalling entails this could either be a panel with buttons or lever frame and as second part of suggestion being able to operate the level crossings such as bare lane as particularly been next to level crossing this would further add to immersion factor

    A good suggestion but the inherent problem would be in real time you either have a small area to look after and there is literally nothing to do for 20 minutes between trains, or you get a large area which would really be controlled by more than one signaller and you get totally swamped. That is actually an issue on SimRail. The pure signalling games like SimSig allow you to speed up time when nothing is happening or pause and consider when the going gets tough.

    Yep good point only problem with Simsig is it’s very niche as only caters to minority that are on pc thereby ignoring majority of market which are console platforms

    TBH (even though I probably wouldn't play it), I would like to see a TSW-spin off game that is a Signalman Simulator

    I'd be happy if they just made them accessible at all.
