    Hi,

    Does anyone else experience issues with the OTS timetable when operating freight services? I’m constantly hitting red lights due to rogue AI trains that are just sat randomly. They’re not awaiting signals and seem to be sporadically failed.

    I have just tried service 4M56 and had two South Eastern Trains randomly stopped and causing reds. They don’t move and have to be removed. I have the most up to date timetable but this issue was there in the previous timetable too.

    thanks

    I just finished a run with the 66, starting at around 16.45 and had no problems whatsoever.

    That's because this is talking about a mod timetable, not the dtg one.

    There is a mod on TSC website by Sprattyheath that adds some new 66 liveries. The OTS Timetable uses this mod.

    I’m running a passenger service, 1W00 0715 Northampton to Euston.

    A lot of the AI has stopped.

    This is the current view outside Euston?

    This may not have been caused by the OTS timetable mod, I've seen this before on various routes.
    There's probably an AI up front somewhere that has gone off path causing a traffic jam.
    Possibly this could be caused by a mod somewhere?

    Any ideas what WCMLS mod would cause this?

    I don't think its a WCMLS mod, I've seen it happen with one of the Scottish routes, and with the Frankfurt S Bahn route.
    If it is caused by a mod, I don't know which one.

    I just tried the service you mention and yet again a South Eastern 465 has just randomly stopped blocking the line.

    I have no issues with any other timetables, only this one.

    I don't think there should be any 465s on this route? Maybe something subbing in in error? I belive the files for the route include a new 377 version for the Southern layer, have you downloaded and installed this correctly?

    That would be amazing but sadly beyond the scope of a mod I believe. I remember the good old days of MSTS where new loco models came out faster than you could keep up with them.

    You've definitely got a Mod interfering as Tim RTC said, 465s should not appear on the route at all, so I would start by looking for any mods related to the 465.

    I just completed 4M93 myself (the one The Simtrain Tube mentioned) and it was fine. (An absolutely brilliant run by the way. Running at line speed to Apsley, then chasing yellows because of a stopper until Tring where you overtake it - And you get to see the Flying Banana).

    In case it helps you to track it down, the only mods I have installed are the OTS Timetable and all it's recommended requirements and Birmingham Cross City 2021 Timetable and all it's recommended requireemnts + Godmode and Jetwash's Beast mode INI files.

    Maybe it just got lost after turning right instead of left at Albuquerque

    so to confirm, no one has the south eastern 465 as a drivable train doing timetable runs on their WCMLS timetables mods on pc?

    No, it shouldn’t be there.
