PC Boston Sprinter Signalling Mess Up

I've just started playing the new Boston Sprinter route, and it looks excellent so far! Except, the signalling causes a huge number of problems- I keep getting yellow/red signals when the path ahead is actually clear. Using the ATC and ACSES systems this limits my speed to rather slow speeds- not quite 'America's fastest line'...

And then there was this- a multi-train pile up on the Providence-bound line caused by one of the branches merging onto the main line, see below.

Have either of these problems been replicated by others, as it seems to make the route unplayable in this state.

 

I've just now been held at a red signal on service MBTA Franklin #722 only for a train the other way to be routed into my path at the exit of Readville station. Dispatcher clearly suffering from some woe.

 

This could be the two train traffic jam I saw on the second stream. I reported it and posted a screenshot, but got no acknowledgment.

 

Think that might be the same problem causing the traffic jam I noticed. Dispatcher must have had a few too many before starting up

 

So far all I had was AI trains not stopping at the red signals, instead they will come real close to the end of my train when stopped at a station.

 

I am also getting a run of yellow approach signals and 30mph ATC limit approaching Providence, with a seemingly empty track ahead when running southbound on Amtrak #173

 

Is there any indication of the timetabling issues causing trains to get stuck on conflicting paths being fixed? Or some sort of acknowledgment it’s being looked at DTG JD?

Sorry for the tag but I feel like I’m shouting into the abyss about this when it makes Boston Sprinter unplayable at times while the same issue has been seen on London Commuter :/

 

don't worry you aren't the only one frustrated. I can't play a continuous service mode day cause after the first service all the trains just lock up on the route. went into free roam in the AM, left it going for about 2-3 hours, and when I came back to check map view, every single service was either stuck at a red or stuck behind 2-4 other frozen consists stuck at reds with absolutely nothing blocking their path. really thought something this big would've been fixed already

 

Are there any updates on the signalling fix progress? Haven’t played Boston Sprinter because of it.

 

Won't be fixed. It's pretty evident now.

 

I think it's understandable that it's taking long, people just wanted to know what's up. But it's good to hear it's being looked into and not forgotten. So thank you for the info, Nat.

 

Thank you for responding and letting us know!

 

Not really a signalling issue, but schedule 171 with the NEC ACS-64 is giving ACES problems between Route 128 and just before Providence. The speed is restricted to 20 mph while it should be 125 for this part of the journey.
