    So i was playing about with the Scenario Planner when i can across a strange issue regarding the stop marker for certain destination points on some routes, mostly on the Bakerloo Line.

    The first destination point affected is for Queens Park 22 Siding. Now if you are doing a northbound service that finishes at this point, the actual stop marker starts at the front of the siding, when it really should be right at the back the siding:

    Also, the consist marking on the floor of the route has two variations leading up to the stop point. If you start your service either at Queens Park and you don't label your service as a passenger service, or you start further down the line and you run to the siding non-stop, the consist marking with spawn going into Platform 2 at Queens Park, even though your entering the siding via Platform 3:

    However, if you start at Queens Park and label your service a passenger service, or start further down the line and make a stop at Queens Park before entering the siding, the consist marking will spawn going into Platform 3 where you are:

    Now this isn't the only location affected. There's also Harrow & Wealdstone Centre Siding where the issue is pretty much similar to the issue over at Queens Park where the marker is at the front of the siding instead of right at the back:

    ...and also, this is not just a Bakerloo Line issue. This issue is also present on East Coastway at Newhaven Aggregate Terminal Siding 2, if you do a service going here from Lewes. Now i shouldn't need to explain this much since the issue is pretty much the same as one on the Bakerloo Line.

    Also, as you can see here, the Consist Marking is right down the adjacent track of where you come into the siding and, if you run the 15 wagon class 66 consist like i'm running here, the last wagon marking goes right through the buffers at the end of the siding:

    Now there is a chance this issue is also present on other routes but i haven't done much investigating into those routes yet, but if do happen to find this issue on more routes, then do let me know.

    It should also be mentioned that with this one, the stop marker is not on the front of the consist marking but on the second car back.

    That should be all of the routes covered. I don't think Koln-Aachen or LIRR has this issue with some of it's stop point, but if anyone does happen to find this issue in either of those routes in Scenario Planner, do let me know.

    Now I know the evidence for this issue is now pretty overwhelming, but I did find another one that i missed on the Bakerloo Line. Specifically, Stonebridge Park Depot Track 34, where the stop marker is right outside the depot inside of going into the depot.

    Hopefully now that should be all the routes now, but I will keep posting here in case I come across any areas that I have missed.

    This is a common issue. Should be improved.
