    Hi I'm new, so please be aware of my lack of knowledge. Just bought the Bakerloo Line so I could route hop and continue my journey from Queens Park (on the WCML South route) to Elephant and Castle and experience my journey on the actual underground section. The route hopping works perfectly via WCML. However, when I return back to Queens Park from Elephant and Castle I am unable to route hop back onto the WCML version. Feel quite disappointed that there is not at least a route hopping symbol to do this. I know this is an old route but assumed that this would have been updated to include this feature as there is no AI rail traffic if I stay on the old version from Queens Park. Feel a bit short changed on a purchase when I already owned half the route. Can't find a feedback thread for WCML - apparently they have been deleted so where can I post this so the devs can see my concern and hopefully add an update. Otherwise I love WCML

    The route-hop points to the Bakerloo Line are coming very soon in an 'update'.

    I put 'update' in quotation marks because DTG Matt said that it was just bug fixing, but I believe it's a TOD4 upgrade for two reasons:

    1) DTG Matt has previously hidden pleasant surprises in the past
    2) The Bakerloo Line is the only route in the Special Edition to have TOD3 lighting.

    I should point that the official stance is that there is an update that fixes bugs and adds route-hops points to the Bakerloo Line. That is it. There was no mention of TOD4 or a remaster, and we should not be disappointed if it really is just a couple of bug fixes and the route-hop points.

    Thanks, much appreciated, so it sounds like the route-hop points are a confirmed update for Bakerloo, do you know when that would likely to be? (I stupidly misled myself by the new TSW5 logo on the thumbnail image for this route on the microsoft store, thinking it must have route hopping. I also assumed the route hopping feature was one of TSW5's main selling points and would include, specifically, this one) After all, obviously, all routes are older than TSW5, so in theory this should have already been done prior to release I feel.

    I'd be very surprised if there isn't some sort of update even if there's just AI 350s and 390s. I seem to recall there was a problem putting 710s on the Bakerloo Line route so if that's not possible it's a shame but not a game breaker.

    We don't know when this will be, but because of how easy it is to implement, all routes (including Compatible Content) will have route-hopping.

    At the moment, only Bakerloo is missing them.
