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

Brake pressure. When all the brakes are released, those squares will turn green.

 

Gen8 isn't holding gen9 back, it's holding itself back.

 

Still no portals? In Scenario Planner I can not see any portals which was supposed to be a major new feature in TSW5? It means I run out of destinations at MK pretty quickly. Also still can't specify AI services for tube trains (e.g. platforms 2 & 3 are still not available to select at Queens Park). I can take over a timetable service at Queens Park but I can't specify AI services in a scenario?

 

If gen8 was holding gen9 back, there wouldn't be differences in timetable and detail between the 2. Gen9 wouldn't have a busier timetable than gen8 for example

 

For some reason the layer filter says i don't own the HKA wagons, although i own gwe?

 

I have received the update i do not have the up to date timetable i have everything in store is am on ps5

 

I have everything installed the?
Timetable is not to correctotet i am on the ps5

 

isnt there supposed to be class 87 in the timetable?

 

Lol, typical DTG..So called updates, and still no changes. Tsk tsk.

 

Same here. No 710 five-car. None on the map. Not a single one. I even tried to spawn one, but only four-cars available.

Layer selector shows three (3) layers: 390, 710, and static stock.

PS5, the unloved platform.

 

Maybe I should just stop playing for a year or so and then see whether stuff really really has been updated. Ah, no. then TSW6 will be the hot stuff.

 

It’s not out for PS5. It’s been reported elsewhere. They hope it’ll be out today.

 

PS5 just updated.

 

I have just received the update

 

It got removed due to memory issues

 

It's connected to the gameplay pack coming tomorrow i believe

 

So I got the update on ps5 and did a service in the 350 from Tring to London and got just past queen's park and my ps5 crashed

 

Bug present before update but remains - 350 - whenever it is foggy outside, the inside of the train is foggy too??

 

The 350 is arguably the train causing most issues on the route

 

pc player - steam

still got tiles of trees to the east of Watford

north Milton Keynes car park, cars not been moved to remove whitewash effect

North of Milton Keynes station, OHLE clipping through signal gantry

 

pc player - steam

North end of Hemel Hempstead platform remains unfinished

north end of Hemel Hempstead floating asset remains

1 mile south of Milton Keynes floating OHLE assets

 

The body side lights remain on after doors are locked and moving. Affects other AI 350 service. PS5 Service 2N71

350 PIS on the cab PIS still displays destinations incorrectly Northhampton showing as Northham etc

 

Happens with manchester Piccadilly when it says manchester and same applies to other popular cities in the UK. The only ones that aren't affected are Crewe, Watford junction, Tring and MK

 

I noticed the old habit of placing passengers on platforms that never have a stopping service continues...

 

Maybe its helpful to bring all this things to here and maybe please you can add them together instead of use for every small thing a separate part. Or edit the existing one.

Signal WT 3122 (in tunnel north of Watford on Fast Up Line) does not give AWS warning for double yellow.

 

I have experienced that the passengers at the stations in some times are gone.... Its time by time that i see complete empty stations with zero amount of passengers.... Is that something that already is seen by other users?

 

Yes in reality the fast line platforms would be gated closed and only opened up by station staff in exceptional circumstances, usually if stopping trains had been diverted to the fast lines. Same reason as why you now have head height fencing down the middle of the island platforms between the Down Slow and Up Fast lines - it’s a suicide deterrent measure to close off those platforms.

 

Whilst I get the frustrations with these niggles and things I just cannot get my head around why not fixing the constant crashing to desktop isn’t the priority. It’s irrelevant to me if there’s people on fast platforms if the game never gets to the station because it keeps crashing!!

make the game work. Then fix all these others bits and pieces. Surely that’s the sensible thing to do?

 

Not exactly route related, but the Introduction / Tutorial for the 72 Stock isn’t available on the WCMLS. I don’t have the Bakerloo add-on so can’t access it there either.

 

The one that irks me the most is at Neilston on Cathcart Circle route. They put passengers on a platform which trains never leave in service from. Those folk are never going anywhere! DTG new about it from day one and didn't even bother fixing for the remaster.

 

I did a guard service on the class 350 (2K06). Got held up at a red signal when entering London Euston. Apparently, 2C12 was in the way at the next signal. Which in turn was caused by 2D63 not having left the platform.

Deleting 2C12 solved my immediate problem, but something seems a bit wrong in the timetable there.

Also, when driving Bakerloo services, passengers just won't get in.

Other than that, no real issues. Good update. This route is finally up to the standard it should have been at release.

 

Noted several signals, which are in tunnels, that have no AWS magnets, so you are not warned of signals. Today running a freight on the up slow, in the tunnel just before Watford Junction, it displayed double yellow, but no buzz. The other one that I have noticed several times is approaching Euston, I seem to remember it's in the next to last tunnel you go through.

Also noted something interesting as I started freight service 4L52 on the up slow at signal KR5256, this is beyond MK station, probably close to the spawn point for trains. As I was almost to MK this was noted on the top of a catnary support poll. Would classify it more as an Easter egg and not a bug.

 

On PS5:

• The tail lights button in the 350 doesn’t seem to do anything now.
• The throttle/brake controller in the 350 now has a weird setting between Notch 1 and OFF that isn’t labeled and doesn’t seem to do anything. Really messes with muscle memory to have a “phantom” notch!
• 350 desk light brightness knob is broken, only 0% and 100% values work now & nothing in between.
• Even with the new timetable improvements, there is still a severe lack of static stock everywhere. By the way, performance on my PS5 was completely fine with all my layers enabled (basically just missing some of the freight packs).

More general issue: When I finish a service and return to free roam, if the game then crashes while in free roam, all of my session progress is deleted, including the service I completed before free roaming.

 

EGS
Signal TK 5199 of scenario 'Spoil from london' shows a red aspect while the game thinks it is green.
Previous aspect was green too, somebody went into emergency brakes

edit: it should be RED, a train is in the next segment


hurray for emergency brakes

the other train is 1Y17 'Arrived at Instruction'

 

Had my first hard crash out of memory error EVER on Xbox Series X - textures started going low res around Queens Park on a Watford to Euston 710 service which was the warning sign - then completely crashed to dashboard about a mile outside of Euston.

This came from a Quick Resume state rather than from a “fresh load” if that matters at all.

EDIT - I’d saved at South Hempstead as I’d forseen the crash coming - reloaded this save and was able to complete the journey with no low res textures of crashes, which would suggest memory leak to me.

 

I'm on ps5. I've even noticed that when u have a load of liveries for the 390 and the 350 from the creators club it can cause the game to crash a lot at Euston. until i removed some to all liveries from those trains and it doesn't crash as much now for me.

 

That can i confirm that on pc i have noticed a huge fps impact by creators club Liveries. Its for consoles the way to crashing. So if you have Liveries installed on console remove them it makes the game unstable!!

 

I had a similar problem at Queens Park when doing my re-attempt of service 2C22 where textures became low res but then they returned to normal after about 5 seconds and I was able to make it to Euston without any crashes. Mine wasn't from a Quick Resume state if that helps - I just went and selected the service after loading the game up on PS5.

 

Still not seeing the updated UI for WCML on Series X? I only saw a PS5 update on the announcement.

 

Weave the contact mode there is just a bit more a little bit improvement needs to happen when you guard the class 390 you cannot open the doors.You can only close the doors if we open the doors it will be better this is on the ps5

 

I think it may be prototypical that you cannot open the doors from a 390 guard panel. That said, in guard mode, a prompt still appears for us to open the doors

 

Isn't the 390 the train where the driver opens the doors once the train is stopped? If this is so, then they should open once the train stops.

 

I have submitted many, many bug tickets about OHLE, but "Gantry mast is wearing a rug" has never been one of them.

 

At first, I thought it was a bird nest, there are a lot of them on catenary poles in the Netherlands. But when I looked closely, it looked more like a floating piece of grass tuff that happened to land on the pole.

 

Off route destinations still not fully working. Yet to drive to Liverpool lime street. Always say Milton Keynes for example
