Just done this service twice in the 375. Both outcomes the same. 5 and half-ish minutes late each time. Both times silver medal only. All was fine till newington. 395 overtook me as i left newington. I then got stuck at red by the 395 as it was at rainham for 6 minutes. OMG. So made me late as i said. So only silver on this one. Bad very bad.
What so the 395 sits at rainham for 6 minutes and thats fine. It hardly broke down its a game remember. No need for it to be there that long
I done this service, I was around 14 minutes late into rainham, I quite enjoyed it, adds to the immersion
Just played it last night and had the same results as OP. The 395 overtook me at Newington and then sat at Rainham for about 6 min (seemingly at a green light, looking at the map). I might try to run that 395 service to see if there's any explanation of what's happening from a player perspective.
I just played it. Left newington spot on at 9:12, got green over the 395. The reason it sits at rainham for 6 mins, according to PIS at rainham it is scheduled to leave at 9:19. If it gets the green at Newington it will arrive at rainham way too early. I think it has to do with leaving Newington on time.
There's the answer, then. Saves me driving the 395 service, thanks for that- just much prefer driving the 375 and especially the 465.
