Route West Coast Main Line: London Euston - Milton Keynes - Feedback

I wouldn’t drive through Kensal Green tunnel if you have epilepsy.

 

Class 350 doors open and close way too quickly. The head out view also has some weird audio problems, cutting between the ‘inside’/‘outside’ audio intermittently.

 

Still getting audio popping on Xbox

 

Will update this post with more. (PS5)

-377/2 is using the 385 transformer audio and it’s coming from the wrong place (which is inaccurate) it should be the same as the 387 and coming from under the centre of the coach not the pantograph itself.

-Class 390/1 has first class at the wrong end of the train. First class should face London.

-Class 390 TWPS temporary isolation fault light will not go out when safety systems are activated after self test sequence.

-Class 350 has no cab air conditioning audio

-Class 350 AWS sunflower isn't illuminated in the dark

-350 PIS is too big/ doesn’t scroll

 

There is no general feedback thread I can find so i will post this here: the further zoomed in the map, the worse your FPS (naturally), but even if you close the map you continue to get a poor FPS. You need to zoom out again to fix this.

 

I find stutters on xbox series x, almost like a caching issue loading the scenery when in the 390. Station notice boards not showing correct destination. 9:11 to Manchester Piccadilly on the map, 9:13 to MK on the noticeboard.

I find it a bit of a mad decision that the concourse access is blocked and the actual live timetables with platform number not usable. A pain having to go into the map to see where each train is going or walking to each individual platform.

 

a few frame drops around watford, but nothing major. great route so far

 

Nearly all of the Pendolinos are facing the wrong way — in service the first class end faces Euston, unless they come off the depot the wrong way

 

Hi alex I was wondering how do I get all my old dlc from train sim world 4 to 5 as ive got TSW5 deluxe edition

 

This will be possible from the 17th. It's in the FAQs called compatible content

 

frame rate is at its worst in the last 6ish miles around MKC
xbox series x

 

I am on PS5

 

Ps4 keep crashing when loading into a service on WCML

 

Class 350 pis shows “NotIn” on side of train. Should show “Not In Service”

5T49 service

 

2K03 - inside green PIS says 'welcome aboard this service to calling at .' with no stations listed

 

Guard panel signal buzzer doesn't work

Also, would be good if next stops list showed the scheduled times (and if possible real-time estimates (if delayed))

 

But ive got early access though as I pre ordered it to play earlier with all my TSW4 DLC as well on there as well as the Stuff that comes with Deluxe edition anyway?

 

2K03 again due to depart 06:07. Moved right up to the red signal at the end of the platform, now 06:18 and not left still?? Nothing left EUS due to reds????

 

2K03 I decided to load it from the main menu, rather than boarding it when it was AI. I got put on a different platform and had to walk to the train, but then the guard button and PIS now work and we have left EUS. Would still be good to see time of next station call so know how long to check tickets

 

But speed seems to only show in mini hud (top left) as 15kmh (why kmh and not mph) and why isn't it changing.

Also no coach lights seem to be on automatically, so 350 plunged into darkness when enters tunnel,

 

unless you play on steam, you will receive your dlc on tuesday the 17th

 

When selecting a service for conductor mode it spawns me on a completely different platform with nothing to tell me what platform my train is on. It also let's me open and close doors from the cab but it won't complete the objective when I use the buzzer from the cab.

 

It also seems to crash on PS4 on pretty much every service around Euston.

 

In conductor mode, 2K03 again PS5 It is telling me I have another ticket to check, but all done! 1/12 remaining and the front two coaches of the train are completely empty

 

I've tried driving/guarding 3 services so far on the 350 and 390 and every single time it crashes as I get just outside of Euston.

 

All I have showing on my routes is Cajon Pass. Everything is installed but not showing in game. I haven’t yet installed my back catalogue.
EDIT:
I just checked and it isn’t fully installed

 

350 Deceleration sounds are audibly looped - noticed on 2K03 coming into Watford junction in conductor mode from back coach PS5

 

There’s missing services in the West Coast Mainline the Class 710 are not showing up In the timetable services, I’ve got the London overground on TSW 4 I don’t know why they’re not showing in timetable mode I’ve looked on the layers it says I don’t own it. I do want TSW 4 I have to wait till next week for it

 

Happens near Milton Keynes and Willesden Junction on my ps4 too. It also happens when Arriving and Departing out of Euston quite frequently on the 390 and 350

 

On conductor mode it doesn't ask me to check tickets after the first stop, which means I only have 1 or 2 tickets to check after other stops even though there's loads of passengers whose tickets I haven't yet checked. (2K00 on PS4)

 

you will be able to play the 710 on tsw5 from next tuesday

 

I crashed on fast travel from south Hampstead on ps5 trying to get to Euston

 

The only bugs I've noticed have already been reported, although I'm on an Xbox Series S.


There are a few bugs I haven't seen mentioned yet though;
- One bug I haven't seen reported is the fact that, when attempting to turn the saloon lights on in the 350 (I was unsuccessful) I was randomly flung out of the cab with no way to return to the train....
- another thing, is that the 390's horn is very distorted, but my TV does have a few sound issues in itself, so that could be something to do with my TV, and not the actual game.
- and finally, the Class 66s headlights are unbelievably dim, to the point they don't even look as though they're on unless it's midnight...

Again; I'm on Xbox Series S. Thank you!

 

Yes, just a useful reminder here taken from the FAQs. Only Steam players will be able to use compatible from today. Timings are definitely approximate as the Steam version appears to be running late. EDIT: We have lift off on Steam.

 

Is it meant to say kns rather than Keynes? (coach door white writing, can't get service code by pressing and holding black rectangle at top of ps5 controller as it tells me I am on foot???, VT1H02 showing on TMS)

 

On conductor mode there is a bug where the tickets for passengers from Tring appear blank in the “from” box. The tickets for people in the first class section of the 350 display “Adult Standard Class”. (PS5 2K12)

 

The first class section of the 350 is declassified so passengers with standard class tickets can sit there.

 

Ok didn’t know that because I am not local to the area

 

The conductor mode in it's current form does not know the differences between 1st and 2nd class. It's something that they hope to develop in the future.

 

The same issue of a station not showing also happens for passengers travelling from harrow and Wealdstone to London Euston except it happens in the “To” box

 

Bakerloo Line is a bit rough around the edges + more stuff that I’ve noticed so far (PS5, will keep updating this):

• Physics don’t seem to match up with the original Bakerloo Line add-on (brakes are weaker or less responsive?).
• Tunnel lighting broken between Willesden Junction and Kensal Green.
• Trains severely clipping through tree on southbound track between Willesden Junction and Kensal Green.
• Passengers walking onto the track in front of the train.
• Queen’s Park:
  • AI Bakerloo trains coming out of the tunnels don’t have any on-train PIS.
  • Player Bakerloo trains going into the tunnels incorrectly show as “terminating here” on station PIS and then continue into the tunnels as a “ghost train” without driver.
  • The newly accessible platforms 5 & 6 are extremely barren with no assets apparently added to them since the days of the original Bakerloo DLC.
• Euston station main hall is beautifully modeled but frustratingly blocked off by invisible walls. It’s there, why can’t we explore it?
• Attempted to fast travel from Queen’s Park to Euston and am now stuck in an infinite loading screen.
• Class 350: When spawning in at the beginning of a service, the tail lights button in the cab is labeled “on”, but the tail lights are in fact off. Pressing the button once seems to fix this. Now the button is labeled “off” and the lights are off as well.
• Watford Junction Platform 6: Overground sign affixed to building wall is glitchy.
• Leighton Buzzard Platform 4: Back of two benches clipping through wooden fence near one of the footbridges.
• Lifts seem to always display the text “platform” in their little animated screens even when they’re on a different level (e.g. top of footbridge etc.).
• Saw the 08:10 to Euston at Bletchley Park Platform 4 and it had “NotIn” written on the train PIS.
• Two brightly glowing garbage bins on the northern side of Euston.
• The big ticket hall in the northeast corner of Milton Keynes station has been nicely modeled, but is completely blocked off by an invisible wall and only visible via photo mode. Could we maybe get access to it?
• The Class 350 has a first class section, but it is completely unmarked on the exterior and interior of the train and the only way to know is by the “Sit in First Class Seat” prompt. Surely some sort of signage or logo identifying the First Class section has been left out here. If it was due to licensing, just add a generic “First Class” badge.
  • I stand corrected, just looked it up and apparently they removed the first class branding from the 350s a while ago.
• Class 350: Does the Indicator Lamp Test button on the back wall of the cab work correctly? The lights just flicker very briefly, shouldn’t they light up until you stop holding down the button?
• There’s a weirdly-positioned PIS pole (without the screen attached to it) near the northern end of Tring station platform 1. It is at an angle and almost hanging over the tracks, so must surely be a misplaced asset.
• Many of the small fences between the rails in and around Tring station seem to have no collision (although this may be intentional to prevent issues with players climbing on/off trains).
• The floor at the eastern end of Berkhamsted Platform 4 has incorrect collision, so the player (and AI passengers) will sink into the ground if they walk there.
• Complete lack of 3D grass along Apsley station platform 4. Looks really barren/rough that way!
• The little grassy park area west of Kings Langley is so well-modeled, why not net us walk through it into the station building and give the player another way to access the underpass that way?
• Watford Junction: Weird collision/invisible wall sticking out of the middle of the stairs heading from the underpass up towards platform 11. There’s also a dark dirty texture bugged/stretched in the ceiling of the underpass at the bottom of the same stairway, and the sign right there pointing up towards platform 11 is attached to the wall unevenly/tilted.
• Contact Signaller box stuck in the ground at northern end of Watford Junction Platform 11.
• Service 2K16: Incorrect stop location at Bushey, train is way too far south considering it’s only 4 cars long.
• The exterior texture of the new Bletchley High Level station building (and the bridge connecting it to the rest of the station) looks very glitched and bugged, perhaps something went wrong with the way the texture file was applied here.
• Football Frenzy scenario: One of the football flags affixed to the platform wall at Wembley Central has been placed right into an existing ad poster. Looks very glitchy!
• Bletchley station: Part of Platform 1 staircase to footbridge missing collision, causing player to fall through the staircase onto the ground below.

Unable to verify during early access, but I hope the sidings are populated by layered static stock again. They’re very empty right now.

 

While I would love to list some feedback, I find it extremely difficult because the route just keeps crashing.

In the span of an hour, I've had 3 crashes, all in different spots.

Crash no.1 happened during the Route Introduction, as I was leaving Euston, just froze and crashed

Crash no.2 happened in Euston, just when I was walking around. Crash

Crash no.3 happened when I was sitting on 1H64 as a passenger, from Euston to Manchester. We passed Watford Junction, and the game straight up crashed

Can't offer much feedback as I can't seem to get through the route without it crashing

 

Wanted to drive the 1972 stock, but there doesn't appear to be training for it and I've forgotten how to get it moving. I'm having to boot up TSW4, so I can do the training to refresh my memory, only to come back.

Given the train comes with the WCML pack, and not everyone will have the Bakerloo addon, surely this needs a tutorial of it's own.

 

AI 350 going to Birmingham showing as going to Euston on PIS screens. Then shows on the info as “Calling at Milton kns, Birmingham, Milton kns, Bletchley” etc…..
