Allow All Players To Use Conductor NPC at Hogsend Train Station

The Conductor NPC located at the Hogsend Train Station seems to confuse new players. It looks like it can be used to travel, but I think it's locked from players that haven't finished the London Bound quest - Year 3 Quest 4.
When you click on the Conductor NPC, a GUI pops up giving two options - "Travel to Quest Build" and "Travel to London".
It doesn't make sense to lock the Conductor NPC from players that only need to use the "Travel To London" option because any player can still access the open cabin in the train and sit down in it to go to London.

Some ideas:
Figure out a way to give players access to the Conductor GUI to just click the "Travel to London" option.
or Create another quest NPC for the London Bound Quest, but move them to the front of the train engine area - but keep the Conductor NPC which only has the option to "Travel to London" -- this can probably be used to give more options in the future for other places to travel to such as towns or whenever the map expands?

Hello again @Somnambulist!

Unfortunately, we have decided to decline your suggestion at this moment in time.

The idea for the quest "London Bound" was to give players an easier way of accessing the quick travel to London upon completion, even if it is only a slight advantage. This is similar to other quick travel methods that are completely unlocked via other activities or quests (ex: A Helping Hand). So if we were to change that, it would defeat that purpose.
As for using the Conductor to travel to other towns, we decided against that because currently, we are not planning on adding any other places with trains to the map (besides Hogsend and London). Of course, that could always change, but if there are no train stations it would not make sense to add train travel either.

Thank you for using the feedback & suggestion forums! Take care and enjoy the rest of your day/night <3
