    Scenario Regional Express (Journey mode, if that matters). Gemunden-Aschaffenburg, limited stops.

    A red for no reason just as you enter Aschaffenburg. Never clears, dispatcher will not give a proceed:

    All trains on the map are stationary. I'm running on time. I suspect the problem is the Dosto at the A'burg platform: he has greens in front of him, and is apparently cleared to pass the crossover while I wait for him-- but he isn't moving. Glitched AI? Scenario cannot be completed.

    Interesting. I already had a gold on that run so tried it again.

    Ran pretty much to time all the way keeping about 3km/h below the limit. As I approached Aschaffenburg , had a red that immediately cleared to green and got to the platform at 18-09-15. The timings must be tight.

    It's definitely a bug, caused by some update or other. The cause is a passenger train that arrives at A'burg eastbound at 1804. It should depart at 1805- the lights go green for it - but it just sits. Since its route takes it through the crossover ahead of you, your light is red and stays red.

    There is an apparent workaround- if you walk (yes) all the way to the station, get in, and set the reverser in that cab from "off" to "neutral", it will get going. That way at least you can finish the scenario, but way behind schedule.

    Re-ran it and got a cheapo gold, simply by leaving PzB off and ignoring speed limits, so I arrived before 1805.

    I experienced the exact same problem. I had saved at the stop at Heigenbrücken and from there tried twice to get into Aschaffenburg, but I got held up at the same signal waiting for the exact same train that never moves.

    I reckon it is an extra service that I haven't got. The 18.05 doesn't exist on my timetable, only a departure at 18.09.
    Possibly RT or the 182 add-on is adding the service. I don't have either.

    Neither do I. Conceivably it might have been layered in by RSN though.

    Keep in mind however that not all AI trains are in the player timetable.

    This. The train itself spawns in the map at 18.04 and should depart from Aschaffenburg at 18.09, at which point the player can drive it too. It also is a BR 146 with the dosto's from MSB itself. It just doesn't depart at 18.09 and sits there instead, occupying the path.
