    Hi! After finishing at Queen's Park and changing cab I have a diagonal red signal preventing me to return back to the main line. I have been waiting for 20 minutes, had 2 southbound trains passing by but the light signal stays red. Contacting signaller denies.
    Is this a bug?

    Have you tried inching forwards slightly before contacting the signaller? Sometimes when switching ends the game hasn't recognised the change in direction, so it is still trying to change the signal at the other end of the train.

    I have tried. It is strange that on the map many other trains are stopped along the route.
    If I reload, this issue happenes again.
    Did anyone else experinece this?
    Any other idea guys? I hate when I can't finish a scenario.

    Wait, are you loading the scenario from a savegame? That would be the solution to your problem.
    Loading savegames very often causes red signals that never turn green again. It is best to avoid savegames completely.

    Thanks a lot Sequencer2k16, I just didn't know this. I will try to complete this scenario again without saving.

    About time they fixed the red signal bug that happens with save games.

    You will also know when the save game has failed as all the information in the top LH corner of the display is missing.

    DTG strangely quiet about this issue which is not exactly encouraging my interest in the forthcoming BML.

    IIRC, I have completed this, so I agree that it is probably a resume save game issue.

    Thanks a lot for everyone, especially to Sequencer2k16, I completed this scenario without having any issue. It was the savegame.
