PlayStation Tricky Tunnels Emergency Brake Application

    On the SHS Tricky Tunnels scenario you stop at Ebbsfleet and as you leave Ebbsfleet, you get a red TVM signal, which I stop at least 30 yards before. The TVM signal then goes green, but as I start pulling away, even before I reach the TVM marker, the emergency brakes are applied and the alarms go off.

    I have no clue what I’m doing wrong other than having the safety systems turned on.

    It worked without safety systems turned on. Either I was doing something wrong, which if I was, I have no clue what, or safety systems trigger the trains emergency brakes incorrectly.

    In the 395 tutorial I accidentally applied the emergency brakes and the alarms are ringing but there are no instructions on how to reset the brakes so I am stuck. This is normally included in other tutorials but not here.

    Move back to emergency brake and it resets. In the tutorials you can get locked out though because the script disables certain actions (I had to restart the route introduction due to the controls locking).

    i had the emergency brake go off when i was in the Thames tunnel. no instructions came up on how to reset the brakes i tried everything i know. but nothing happened only bells and alarms going off. it did my head in and so i had to fail it. it has to be a bug as it was a senario and it should be giving instructions on what to do

    there is definitely something off here - it gives you a clear/80 and it goes off AS SOON as you apply power, even if youre nowhere near the board. There is also no instrument indication so I definitely think its something going rouge.

    Yep this scenario is bugged if you have TVM enabled in the rear panel. As soon as you cross the TVM board after being cleared to 80 the e-brake kicks in. Resetting the brake clears the alarm but as soon as you start moving again it repeats

    The only workaround at the moment is to disable TVM from the panel

    My embarrassing tale of this scenario is I “SPAD” the same red light. Rolling along thinking it’ll change in a mo. Nope, had to wait for slow coach to clear the down line.

    Extremely pleased to report the trophy did pop second attempt :D

    How exactly do you reset the brake please? Only way I found to get out of this was to completely turn off master key and back on to reset things. Worked after that but I know it didn't feel right. like stopping in the fast lane!!

    E brake then alarm ring then e brake and when the alarm shuts the duck up you need to apply power and it works

    Hold the brake in the emergency position for about 5secs and release...the alarm should stop and you can continue (If you used the e-brake plunger to stop, you'll need to release that as well)

    In this case, resetting the brake does nothing as the TVM keeps tripping as is bugged and locked in the stop position after clearing the player.

    I have the exact same issue in "Shopping Shuttle". Same location, e-brake applied. No recovery.

    I had this problem on the Shopping Shuttle scenario, because I drove with safety systems on. Make sure AWS, DSD, KVB and TVM are all turned off in the rear cab before changing ends.

    Oh! So disable everything, change ends. So leaving them on in the previous end does it huh? OK. Gonna try this out. Thanks!

    I am having the same issue on PC. You cannot get past the first TVM post after it's gone green. The only way as of now seems to be disabling TVM for this scenario.

    i redid this senario this morning for the second time. it worked without ebraked. i got through to st pancrack with no problems. and i got the trophy awarded. so it looks like you can shut the game down completely and restart it. or another way is to press R1 on the controller hold it for about 5 secs and release it should then release the brakes, it does work ive tried this method on other runs.

    oh i must say i never use aws or tvm or other safety devices on this train because they are a pain just like pzb is

    That's the thing, it's the TVM that's activating the brakes in this scenario so naturally since you don't use it, you won't have the train bail on you.

    Is the sequence of Green aspect signal leaving Ebbsfleet to TVM 000 as soon as you pass that signal but prior to the next signalling board actually possible?

    Just tried this scenario again with all safety systems on and I still received an emergency brake application when passing the restricted flag, which had cleared to let me through. Released the emergency brakes and tried moving off again, only to be stopped a second time.

    I’m pretty sure this issue was supposed to have been fixed, but it’s still not working as it should.

    Yup, same here.

    This is the only scenario I have left to do and wanted to clear it before the 465 tonight.

    Yes, I could just leave the safety systems off but I kind of want to play my simulation game.

    Handy tip, when changing ends at ebbsfleet, instead of requesting to pass, hold at ebbsfleet until a clear aspect appear, KVM/TVB doesnt trip

    Ah, I mixed 2 up together, but still hold at ebbsfleet until clear aspect, professor P told me that as a work around
