    Not a game breaking bug for me but a bizarre one as it only happens in this location but whenever I try to pass an AI AP Class 156 between Marsden and Slaithwaite the game crashes with the following message below. I've tried putting other trains in the 156's place and it works fine and the 156 doesn't crash the game elsewhere but if anyone can let me know why it's happening only in that exact location then feel free to let me know.

    There's a mention of several AP packs being updated "Fix for crash if AI passes signal HU721R on Huddersfield Line within ~4 miles of player train" in the latest AP Update log - AP_Update_Log.pdf. The 156 isn't one of them but it's been updated since so may well have also had that issue fixed. Worth getting the latest version to see. I always keep the previous versions of all my AP packs in case I need to revert to the older ones.

    Ahh okay I see. To get the latest version do I just reinstall it? It's just really odd because it's only in that area like I have a 156 running out of Manchester Victoria and it's fine it's just that one between Slaithwaite and Marsden

    Just get the current version of the156 pack from your account on the AP site and install it. Doing so will overwrite the one you've got installed and bring you up to date.

    Is the Pacer one of these? I've tried making another scenario recently and it keeps crashing just before I leave Standedge Tunnel on the Marsden end and I have a pacer that passes me not long before and then an ATS 185 that's meant to not long after

    I don't know, the update log is newer than the one I mentioned previously and no longer lists the earlier updates to fix the crash on the Huddersfield line.

    I'll delete one of the Pacer or the 185 then and see what's the problem. I presume it'll be the Pacer because I've always put lots of 185s on this route for understandable reasons.

    You could also try updating the Pacer, keep a backup of your current version in case you want to revert it.

    Thanks but I removed the Pacer and still the same outcome
    Just as I'm about to exit Standedge Tunnel on the Marsden end
    I don't understand why it would be the 185 causing it though as I've driven past so many ai Class 185s at that point but I'll try deleting the one I have programmed to pass in that area anyway
