Definitely not a major issue in the grand scheme of things, but I've got a bit of a quirk with the search facility and I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong.

When I search for a locomotive or unit from the homepage it doesn't return any results. In this case I've searched for 66306 as it's the last GBRf 66 I need to see.

However, if I go on to a location page, select the 'Detailed' view and then search for 66306 again, it shows up.

Is this just the way the search facility works? Like I said it's not a major issue, was just curious.

"66306 detailed" in the Quick Search box :)

Ah, nice, thanks for that!
You're welcome :) That way it will search additionally for everything that isn't working a passenger service (freight, empty stock moves, driver training runs of units etc.) without having to manually "switch" to detailed mode.

The "detailed" suffix in the Quick Search box also works for locations / CRS codes, e.g. (to use an example from that schedule) "northwich detailed" or "nwi detailed". You can also put "at (time)" inbetween the location / CRS code and "detailed" to not search "now", e.g. "northwich at 0900 detailed" or "nwi at 0900 detailed".

Big thumbs up re dark mode. Like it.

When will you create graphics for (insert train type here) though ;)

Ps did I see a class 37 graphic for the sleeper the other night?

Something I've noticed is that there's GN 387 ones too, so that they don't all just use the c2c ones, however they've been put on the wrong way, so the /1s have the c2c graphics still and the /3s have the new GN ones.

Are you referring to an email from RTT? If so - how can I get on the mailing list - I'm a subscriber to RTT.
Our mailing list can be signed up to either when buying a subscription through the portal (since New Year) or there is a 'sign up to newsletter' link on every RTT page near the bottom.

Tickets has a separate mailing list (different company); if you tick third party in the main mailing list then we will send you some Tickets related news. Alternatively the tickets mailing list itself can be signed up to during the payment phase of buying tickets from us (we'll add it to the rest of the site soon).

In all cases they're double opt-in so make sure you confirm on the email sent to you afterwards too.

Worth noting there is a RTT Mapper extension which can be added in to map the route the service is taking - whilst not directly run by RTT (therefore not perfect) it’s a brilliant addition.

Looks like 379 graphics are on now aswell :), and new cross county 170 red theme.

I think the red refurbished 170s might now have their own graphics :D

I see that the Turbostar name is now included as well, but this only seems to be for the CrossCountry 170s (I did a quick check with an East Midlands Railway 170 and the Turbostar name didn't show for that).

I suppose though that CrossCountry is the only 170 operator that actually uses the Turbostar name, even though 170s in general are part of the ADtranz/Bombardier Turbostar family.

I do very much appreciate all the extra graphics by the way, and the dark mode!

Agree with everyone on here, the new dark mode is really great, and love all the new graphics too.

It’s not that important, but are there any plans to do the refurbed 168s?

Is this another app? I can't find anything in Google Play Store. Could you provide some more details, please?

Any chance that repainted C2C 357s will be updated where appropriate? (And their class 720s given graphics, it seems odd that they don't already given the GA 720s have them).

Odd how the WMT 150s don't have graphics either, unlike the Northern, GWR and TfW 150s which already have graphics.

It's not really down to whether other units already have them or not, it's about when there's time for them to be made and implemented, presumably they'll all come eventually, hopefully anyway, but patience is needed.
