The update, also called 'The Guards Update' is mainly gameplay-focused instead of network-focused, in a way like V1.3. Among the major features are the new Guard roles and the last few Previous Generation trains being upgraded. The update was released as V1.5 instead of V1.4.7.

Official Update Features

• Addition of the Guards role and HUD, along with interaction with drivers and dispatchers.
• Changes to the driving HUD to accommodate guards.
• End of passenger loading procedure changed to require driver input to close doors.
• 5 bonus points for each stop if you have a guard for the entire loading procedure.
• Dispatch procedure split accordingly to provide close doors approval followed by final dispatch approval once doors are shut. Dispatch baton displays green for final dispatch.
• Changed the behind-the-scenes workflow for receiving and processing payments to ensure points aren't lost, even when Datastores or API are being dodgy.
• Class 165, 166, 380 and 730 upgraded to Next Generation, completing the replacement of all old "paper" fleet trains. Interiors and doors will no longer be referred to as next-gen.
• Edgemead OFF indicators added.
• Faymere dispatching enabled.
• Reliability improvements to edge cases where dispatchers are assigned or removed mid-loading to prevent being stranded.
• Class 165/1 (Double variant) added at no extra cost with 165/0 purchase.
• New Loading gui, now with stripes instead of solid colour.
• New Role GUI.

Other Features

• Servers' player limit increased to 30.
• New logo, livery and advertisements for Stepford Connect (only used on Class 380 and Guards' outfit) and WaterLine.
• New WaterLine livery for the Class 171, Class 195, and Class 379, but the old logo remains.

Trivia

• The only WaterLine trains that have the old livery are the Class 319 and Class 508.
• There is currently no available map for this update. While the obvious decision would be to use the V1.4 map, instead no map displays.
• Many Dispatchers criticize this update because of how hard it takes for you to get in a guard training. This caused BanTech, the Innovations Director, to implement a training reservation system.
