West Somerset Railway missing Services

[N Quarter]

So I saw yesterday that West Somerset Railway had a big "update" improving Services and what not, however when I go into the Timetable the 2023 Version shows "116 Services", yet when I go into it I only have the Class 150 with 6 Services...

Where is everything else?

You need other routes to see these services. You need at least the Peak Forest route. Have a look in the official gameplay guide:

Scroll down to read about all layers for the timetables.

Yes I'm aware how Layers work.

Owned and Installed - BR Heavy Freight Add-on
Owned and Installed - Northern Trans Pennine Route Add-On (NTP)
Owned and Installed - Tees Valley Line Route Add-On (TVL)
Owned and Installed - Blackpool Branches Route Add-On (BPO)
Owned and Installed - West Cornwall Local Route Add-on (WCL)

Yet I still only see the 150. Have Verified Cache.

Unless this is the reason - "They may require you to own the complete set of compatible add-ons before layers are activated."

What a dog act if that's the case....

The fact that it doesn't even show the 47 as an example from the West Somerset Railway itself says that something is not right...

I cannot replicate your woes as I have both the Steam Gala 2023 and Diesel Gala 2016 are both fully stocked in my particular version of TSW 5.

One thing I did notice is that, strangely, the Class 09 GRN, Class 47 GRN and Class 150/2 DMU are in the Steam Gala.

Also:
It seems the Alps have moved or we conquered Austria whilst I was asleep as Berninalinie Route now identifies as being a UK route when I use Filter in the Route Selector in my version of TSW.

The list shows the 09, 47 and 150 to be part of the Steam Gala, so that would be correct on your end.

Another thing I thought of, is that I never purchased TSW4, so maybe that is a block causing the issues.

I have all the steam dlc's but I don't see any Steam packs in your layers, maybe Steam Gala needs these to function?

I don't own any, yet it says the others are compatible, unless they are only AI.

Maybe this is the problem with Steam Gala then; no Steam to fill it? I wouldn't know as I had all the Steam dlc's and loco packs before I purchased West Somerset.

From past experience, when you don't own all the Layers, they will just be "fake signals" around or sub, however as the Timetable is mostly Steam, then yeah that could be the cause as I'm sure the Diesels Timetables are quite small and lack luster in comparison.

Anyways, Steam isn't really something that tickles my fancies all that much, so maybe during Xmas Sales I'll dabble into it.

Thanks for the help though.

You will only need to add Peak Forest, West Cornwall Steam and Flying Scotsman to fill out the Steam Gala.

The 47 GRN has 3 Special Railtours of circa 15 mins each and the 09 GRN has 2 stock moves of 7-8 mins each, so you aren't missing much. I haven't done these as I always go to the Steam Gala to take out a steam loco funnily enough but maybe now I shall see what's on offer there.
