So, I have created portals on my own route and trains are leaving them in a test timetable. But when I look at the route map, when they should have entered the next portal, I see this: It seems that the train above doesn´t get deleted in my portal and others get stuck behind the first one (see picture). Is it a setup issue in the timetable or do I have to give them a next service? Maybe someone (especially from the people who make timetables) can help me?
Is the same service also appearing from a portal? There is a bug that a service can only appear or disappear from/into a portal. Therefore, in that case you might need to make a second service for driving into the portal.
On my MSB timetable I have plenty of AI services flawlessly leaving and entering a portal without even making a stop in between, so I consider this a wrong statement.
Sometimes it works without adjusting anything, but I had a few 16 car ICE services that needed the ribbon location tweak, which worked immediately.
If that solves the problem, great. Will try that on some nonstop services in my timetable. I just had a problem with selecting the portal from the dropdown and once I split it up into multiple services it worked. I only found that solution after looking into the forums where someone mentioned the bug. I'd say we now have two workarounds for this bug: a) split up services (works) and b) modify ribbon location (appears to work).
I've tried the approach with 1,0 as ribbon location and it does not work all the time. I have a case where the formation is reversing out of the first portal and it wouldn't go into the second portal. So I had to rely on the second service there.
Another way of doing it is clicking the far end of the portal on the route map, does a similar thing to setting the ribbon location as 1.
