Hello everyone,

After reviewing the above patch notes closely with the Skyhook Games team, we have amended and removed a few changes that were incorrectly included. The above list should now be fully accurate, but as a notable change, the new suspension improvements are not included in this update for the ScotRail Class 158. Thank you all for understanding.
