Hi folks, as an update, we've seen some issues with some of the listed patches above which are under investigation from our team. We'll update when we have more information to share.

Avanti Class 390 Pendolino

• Buffers at Euston causing instant derailment when starting some services - We're seeing reports that on PS5, this is continuing to occur, so teams are ensuring the correct version is uploaded and delivered to players.

PC Editor

• Improved core cooking functionality - This isn't working as intended, we are investigating what has happened here

Birmingham Cross City / Regional Railways Class 323

• Conductor Mode should now be enabled and work as expected - This was expected to work with this patch and has been re-opened for investigation following the update.

Please continue to let our teams know of any post-patch feedback. Thank you!
