One thing I noticed when playing as Train Driver is that you have a high risk of derailing when going at high speed. I experienced this myself for a couple of times and without VIP (no fast cars I can recover to get back on a train station) and it's frustrating. I looked for a workaround to this.

I saw on F1 > Train Driver that I can do "/warpstation (station-name)" to warp to stations, however I did not want to use a Tram or Streak, but I wanted to use a Freight and it didn't tell me which stations had which. Then, one day, when checking F3 for my progress, I saw this:

Code: [Select]
-- Commands
/warpstation - Lets you warp to a specific station. List of available stations and train type:
US: Unity Station [Streak]
RC: Red County [Freight]
LS: Linden Station [Streak]
SRY: Sobell Rail Yards [Freight]
YBS: Yellow Bell Station [Streak]
BC: Bone County [Freight]
CS: Cranberry Station [Tram & Streak]
DO: Doherty Station [Freight]
FC: Flint County [Freight]
MA: Market Underground Station [Streak]

Now, as for my suggestion: To find all of this information, especially for being new to Train Driver or a new player in general is really hard and it might frustrate players to be stranded in the middle of nowhere when their train gets derailed with only way to get back to a station is to use a slow Faggio.

Add a very simplified version of that text, to the bottom right of your screen. Only when a Train Driver is not currently driving a train.

Text should read as:

"Use /warpstation CS for Tram & Streak.
Use /warpstation DO for Freight.
F3 for more information."

I only chose 2 train stations so it would be short and simple to understand for everyone. Not everyone -especially new players- think to do F3 whenever they feel stuck about an aspect of a job, so this would be a great accessability feature without hurting anything at all.

Onpoint! I couldnt agree more, before when I was still grinding my train driver to L10 I did experience the same infuriating experience. Having this would not only help veterans like me but especially newbies.  :tick:

It seems like a good idea and needs some changes

I tried this myself and I know how much it means when you get out of line and want to return to the station,Because  you dont have a VIP because you are a new player, So this will help many players. positive

Reasonable suggestion that'll help train drivers and make things easier for them. I see no reason why this shouldn't be added, therefore voting :tick:
