All day shift of Train 403 (Metropolitan Line) 2023

All day shift of Train 403 (Metropolitan Line) 2023

11th October 2024 0 By Basic learner

You will be operating a day service of train 403 S8 Metropolitan Line, which consists of a total of 17 trips, Monday to Thursday, with the WTT 345. Be sure to follow the timetable, as you will have other AIs in the game that will be behind and ahead of you in some scenarios. There are two types of scenarios I have uploaded in which one of the types includes Met services, along with Chiltern Railways and others, and the second type will only include Met services, along with the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Piccadilly Lines, excluding Chiltern Railway services. However, both types will not include the Jubilee Line, as this route tends to crash with many services in the game. It should be very simple to install. Just copy and paste the content folder into your Railwork directory, and you’re ready to play. Timetable is in the brief section, which can be seen by clicking “F1”. Lastly, depot formations are incorrect, so I’ve asked ChatGPT to randomly pick any roads at Neasden Depot.

What you should know:

Now, onto the part on what you should know before you begin. Bugs are expected in these scenarios.

– Be careful on trip 3 on approach to Baker Street, where speed must be below 10 mph before passing the controlled signals right before entering Baker Street. You may need to stop completely to get a green signal onto Platform 2, as I encountered that issue, thinking the signal would change to green while going below 10 mph, but I ended with a spad. In general be careful throughout. Be sure to set a path on the last scenario before entering Neasden Depot.

– AI train behaviour is different between the old version of the Met route and the Plus Pak. I too faced the difference in behaviour of AIs at stations like Preston Road, Finchley Road, and a Little Chance at Northwick Park and Kings Cross.

– AI trains will mostly likely depart with their doors open just as soon as they come to a stop and then depart straight away. This happens a lot at Finchley Road heading north, but it’s unfortunate really.

– You may likely see AI trains use a stop instruction instead of using unload passenger instruction, meaning players may see AI trains not opening doors either to prevent a train from skipping or to keep a tight time schedule ahead, especially between Baker Street and Moorgate. And also at stations like Aldgate, Wembley Park, and Harrow-on-the-Hill, two trains cannot unload on the same side at the same time. So what I mean is, for example, me at Platform 3 at Aldgate and a Circle Line arrives at Platform 4. Only one of the trains can unload, meaning if the Circle Line unloads first, then you cannot unload when pressing “T” until the Circle Line has departed. This can be tested on trip 14. I don’t know what kind of issue this is, but it occurs at the stations I mentioned, unless I mistakenly missed others.

– Those with the plus pack enhancement may likely face issues like being unable to complete a scenario or, again, the difference in AI train behaviour.

– Lastly, an issue starting at Baker Street Platform 4. You are very likely to encounter your train reaching abnormal speeds and being unable to reach maximum speeds, which is one of the bugs in the last scenario. Both versions of the Met (plus pak) have this issue, but I will report this to Just Trains.

And I believe that’s everything.

I’m not sure if London – Aylesbury Route is required for the Class 165, so PLEASE check before buying if you can run the scenarios beforehand.
