Thanks for this Timetable.
Thanks mldaureol.
bro showed up cooking hard
Superb work! I "camped out" at Aston (I normally do, if I'm just watching the trains go by) and the first thing I saw was a New Street bound 350!
I do have a couple of points to note, though. The 350s calling at Lichfield TV arrive and depart with their pantographs down. And I notice that 350s arriving at Aston (and I presume this applies whenever a Desiro appears) had Not In Service in their destination displays; which would only change to their destination after a driver change.
Just so that Trag sees this to fix this issue you need to manually set the power mode in the TT formation file of the 350s like so:
Thanks Sea Leopard. For the 350s arriving at Aston are those from New Street or heading to New Street. If you like Aston may I suggest 06:50.
Thanks Fawx. I set those settings on the playable 350s but didn't know they affected the AI only ones as well.
Thanks for your reply.
The issue with the destination displays is down to the game itself, so it's for DTG to sort out (or not sort out).
So glad someone has finally done this! Thank you! This makes New St so much more alive!
Is the cross country 170 meant to be 2x2 car? I thought they ran mostly 3 car sets at this time though I could be wrong.
Thanks Ivy.
Honestly I am not sure about the CrossCountry 170s. I used the May 2021 WTT for timings and a little bit of current day Rail Time Trains for consists and such. If you know otherwise I am happy to correct the consists.
Truly incredible work, lots of variety that bring life to a great route !
Thanks Quentin J.
Hello there i was just wondering if this mod will ever work for Xbox PC like the other timetables cause i dosent seem to load when i go on TSW5 :)
i'm having the same issue, i tried installing it in the main tsw 5 folder and i had no luck either
are you putting it into another DLC folder? You have to put the pak files in another DLC folder that already exists alongside the vanilla dlc pak. It doesnt matter which dlc you choose
Thanks for help,
I've installed it in "Xbox Games > Birmingham Cross-City > Content > TS2 Prototype > Content > DLC
It's just odd, as i've done this for WCMLS, it just doesn't work for this one for some reason. maybe I should choose a different file directory
If you've got other mods to work then I'm not sure unfortunately. Perhaps try a different dlc folder, try splitting up the 3 mod paks into different dlc folders, try putting only the timetable mod pak in and omit the other 2 and see if it shows up - or inverse, try adding the train mod pak only and spawning one of the modded trains in free roam to see if that mod pak is loading. Beyond that I'm not sure what the next step would be for troubleshooting.
Yeah I've tried that also, I've noticed a few other people are having problems with the microsoft store version too, maybe Trag could help when they see this feedback fingers crossed - it looks so fun to play and it's my home route lol
Hi crgtrainspotter and Lucky Popcorn. I don't have the Xbox PC version so I am afraid I can't help you. If anyone has any suggestions to look at, I would be happy to.
Thanks for your reply, I've tried to place into the correct directory maybe there's something stopping the .pak to be enabled on this version perhaps. I'm not too sure how the .pak files are exported or need more configuration, but hopefully someone can help with a solution! it looks so good I'm super jealous right now as I don't have the steam version
Never had a prroblem installing mods onto the microsoft store version, i don't have the valley tee's line either so i'm not too sure if thats affected the installation also i've installed it into
but it's not working however would it work in a different file directory?
This looks incredible - very much lookng forward to giving this a go.
Thanks Kevf. Let me know if you run into any issues.
oooh you beaut! cant wait to get home from work and download this!
Thanks CookieBot. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Great mod!
Thanks Rob.
Been hoping someone with more skill than me would do this- can't wait to try it out later!
Hope you enjoy it TfW150. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Loving your work,, New Street now feels like the hub of activity it is.
Is there any plans to add some driveable freight up lickey at all? I feel thats is the only real omission from your so improved timetable?
This is just amazing thank you so much for all your hard work to do this its a shame it is down to the community to do this for FREE in own FREE time when DTG could be doing this for us.
Truly amazing mod!
At last, we can finally see WCML trains at Birmingham New Street station—thank you for your hard work.
I’ve noticed that the AI-controlled Class 170 trains run without a driver character.
Is it possible to modify the mod so that the driver is visible in those trains?

10/10 - Much needed, been wondering if someone would do one for a while! Only thing I will say is to update some of the headcodes under the service details in the editor to show up on the GSM-R correctly :)
Thanks Belle. All services should have the correct headcode. Could you give me an example so I can investigate.
On 1L98 Bristol Temple Meads - Stansted Airport it shows as having 1M92 on the GSM-R
D'oh. Well with almost 1200 services missing one isn't a bad ratio. ;)
