    I’m getting really tired now of starting a game and ending up in the middle of nowhere on foot instead of being on a train.

    Happens to me sometimes but then I just spawn on foot at a station like 10 min before my scheduled train is to arrive.

    I’ve just ended the WSR Class 101 stock move as I ended up at a station with no train. Thought it was me missing something as I wandered about for a while looking for an objective marker to trigger. I guess before I play now I’ll check the forums for issues!

    Hey folks, thanks for letting us know. We've raised this to the team for investigation.

    The priority (mainly performance) fixes will likely come first, and once those are out of the door, we'll investigate this.

    Happened to me for the first time yesterday on Coswig-Dresden in part 3 of the journey I think. Spawned on the platform, but my train was a couple of towns away still :’) Rode another train as a passenger to meet it halfway and then boarded ‘my’ train as a passenger all the way to Dresden, while earning XP for making all the stops :’)

    Happened to me too on Great Western Express, 05:43 Oxford to London, tried restarting both the service and the game several times, spawned on foot, it seems like the testing hasn't been exactly thorough please rectify

    I've checked the service that had trouble with and it appears as if it maybe a dispatcher issue. The train was held at a red signal just behind a depot- Reading service, so this was blocking entry for my train which is scheduled to leave at 05:43 and the blocking train is the 05:48, I haven't checked other routes but it maybe necessary to spawn on foot and wait for the train to arrive before taking over control

    With scenarios maybe but not with timetabled services. As mentioned by DTG earlier in the thread this will be investigated.

    Same for me yesterday, time-table journey. Checked the map (Dresden) and there were actually no trains at all! Other than a few loose freight cars that is. Restarting was no use, had to go back to the main menu.

    Today I tried to play the last timetable service with DB 363 in Riesa - Dresden multiple times and everytime I spawn on foot at Riesa and the loco is kilometers away at Nunchritz yard. Going back to main menu does not help. I play on series X.
