Once again, I know this is for service issues but thought it would be useful for others and DTG to compare. I've just played the above service. I'm also playing PC / Steam. Weather was October and Custom weather (full cloued cover). DLC installed are all layers for London Commuter (except WSR) have nearly all DLC (except most US releases, LIRR and Boston Sprinter are the ones I do have). Just played the above service, no issues whatsoever, an almost perfect score (except for stopping slightly short at Purley). PC Specs; i7 9700k 8 core RTX 2080 Super 32GB Ram 2TB HDD 480 GB SSD TSW installed on my SSD. All settings on Ultra playing in 4K. DX12 enabled, no engine.ini changes or mods installed. Just so people don't think I'm blindly defending DTG: Here is proof of the completion of service. And completion of 10 other services without any issue, happy to provide to others and DTG for testing purposes, if others having issues with the same service.

I too have now completed journey mode without a single issue. Yes I have a bit of stutter around Victoria. with the exception of 4K and DX12 my settings are the same as yours. i'm playing with a 1070Ti I7 6700K GTX 1070Ti 16GB Ram 1TB HDD
Apologies if this has already been mentioned. Silent AWS on the Northbound approach to Clapham Junction. Had it on a variety of services but got a screen of this one.
Platform: PlayStation 4 Loco / Cab: Class 377 Service Name / Time: Journey mode, Chapter 4 service 1A49 Brighton to London Victoria. Red light just before Clapham Junction.
What I've noticed (on PS5) is that if I save the game at regular intervals the chance of a crash decreases. Also, when loading a service at Victoria, I've left it for a minute before doing anything (opening doors, changing to external view) so everything can load in. DTG Natster sorry for the tag, are you able to explain more about the "variety of updates to optimise memory on London Commuter" on today's update? Will this prevent crashes highlighted on this thread?
After today's patch, Wivelsfield PIS now does report from Wivelsfield but the platforms are the wrong way around with Littlehampton-bound trains being reported on the Victoria-bound platform and vice versa.

Possible Work around So this happened to me again after the update (and yes its annoying , but I managed to complete itin Journey mode. Whilst at a a red light just outside Brighton I saved the game. Obviously on that run the game crashed. I then reloaded the save game in and went on towards brighton opened the doors and finished the Journey with out crashing. If you are willing to try it let us know how you get on. Regards Hentis
Nope thats at Stewarts Lane. The one at the Thameslink depot has been removed (PS5) in the latest update. I suspect the one at Selhurst what the guy posted the picture of has also been removed. Regards Hentis
Platform: PC (Steam) Loco: Class 66 Service: 7V00 Aggregate (northbound) Location: Clapham Junction The end of this service is another bloody SPAD trap: an on-or-over stop marker less than ten yards from a red signal. Seriously, those on-or-overs need to be taken away from the service designers' toolbox and never used again. All stop points should be the "within X yards" sort found at platform stops.
Platform: PS5 Loco / Cab: Class 387 Weather Settings: Preset Date : Preset Service Name / Time : 1W98 in journey mode Detail of Issue: Held at red light with services stopped ahead towards Brighton.

Platform: PS5 - all layers for the route active Loco / Cab: Class 377 - 4 cars Weather Settings: Default Date: Default (October) Service Name / Time: service 1R26 London Victoria to Reigate 11.37 - accessed from Timetable menu. Issue occurred roughly how long into the service: 43 minutes in, at 12.22 game time and ongoing… Issue: I am held at a red signal (RG 23) approaching the final stop at Reigate because a Class 166 (with AI driver) is occupying the platform (Platform 2) with the passenger doors open. The 166 never departs, and throughout the PIS on Reigate station shows my service as the first service in and on time. The signal for the 166 is a single yellow. I have lots of DLC installed (up to the current PS5 limit).
Platform: Steam Loco / Cab: Class 387 Weather Settings: Default Date : October Service Name / Time : 1W30 Victoria to Brighton - Journey Mode Just tried this journey mode service again after the update, same issue as before. Run the complete route but as soon as passengers touch the train interior at Brighton the game locks and dumps out with a UE error screen. I don't have mods, have all UK DLC, Sand Patch and Koln
Just replayed this journey and completed it. I think my regular saving of the game (which has helped combat crashes before) mucked up with the timetable somehow. There's no method to this madness

I didn’t go on the external camera and I just stayed still in the cab (because this happens often).

Sometimes on a freight run such as in tvl I’ll be stopped at a signal for an oncoming train, but cannot proceed until I reach 1m from the signal. Please extend the distance allowance so that I can slow down and creep up realistically.
PS4 Journey Mode Another red light situation caused by a cascade effect, in this service, due to my carelessness, I went through a red light, restarted from a saved game, and on the way I found a red light caused by the train on the side, which in turn was also stuck in another red light, here the transmission that shows what happened, emphasize the final ten minutes for analysis https://www.twitch.tv/mksbroadcast/v/1177268839?sr=a&t=2s
The bollixed save system is almost guaranteed to tie the dispatcher into a knot. That problem goes far beyond route timetable design.
AWS sound issues not just confined to Victoria. I can do a run from Victoria to Brighton and get half a dozen aws yellows but no sound but not always same places.
Platform: Steam Loco / Cab: 387 12 Car Weather Settings: [Default] Date : October Service Name / Time : 1M35 - Brighton to Victoria Issue occurred roughly how long into the service : 57 Mins right at the end Detail of Issue: Unreal Engine Crash as soon as I hit open doors at Victoria. I had previously played a London to Brighton and Brighton to London successfully. How many other DLC do you have installed: All except Cane Creak, DB 187, 1938 Stock Additional Info: Using Raildriver. EDIT : Tried exactly the same service on PS5. Crashed in exactly the same place as soon as the doors opened and threw me out of the game. However this time, I had saved just outside Victoria before the crash. Reloading, I stopped short of the stop marker instead of on it. The run finished successfully and showed up as complete in the Timetable.
Your advice on saving the game regularly was a big help, I've not used the save function in ages as it never worked properly after the replay on other routes, but on this route it works for me. Last night I was on a Brighton to Victoria service and I got an out of memory issue after more than an hour of driving between Clapham Junction and Battersea - after regularly saving I managed to complete. After a week since launch, it's the first time I have managed to drive the full route in one go.
I'm not sure if it's actually the act of saving that helps, or simply going to the pause screen now and then. It may be that some crashes are caused by the game not being able to unload used tiles and assets out of RAM fast enough (it does this on idle, and there's precious little of this in the RH routes), and pausing gives it a chance to catch up.
Doing journey mode 1M03 approx 21 miles from Victoria keep getting signal failure train derailed even though signal is green and not going over points. Have tried numerous times but same result.
Platform Xbox Series S Loco 377, 4 car Weather settings Default Date October Service name 06:29 Reigate to London Victoria Issue occurred roughly when Between Battersea Park and the bridge over the Thames Detail of crash out of memory error with only one train visible, Gatwick Express approaching the affected train DLC installed see previous posts
Platform: Steam Loco / Cab: Class 377 Weather Settings: Default Journey Mode Date : Default Journey mode (chapter 6) Service Name / Time : 1H92 LV to Eastbourne - Crashed to Desktop within a minute of starting whilst loading passengers at Victoria. This happened twice in a row. On third attempt (doing nothing different) it worked fine. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with new passengers that is causing these random new crashes if a particular set of circumstances occur. DLC - ALL On third attempt windscreen wiper stopped working whilst approaching Gatwick and would not respond to either key presses or cab switch
Well, I thought I'd spend a nice, stress-free afternoon on London Commuter - that didn't work out too well in the end frustratingly. After four times of being unable to complete a service I gave up and switched off. This game is really testing my patience now, all I want is a workable game - that's not too hard to ask is it?! Platform: XB1 Loco / Cab: 4-car 377 Weather Settings: Light Cloud, bit of wind Date : October Service Name / Time : 1R40/1507 and 1R48/1707 - Both Victoria-Reigate Issue occurred roughly how long into the service : Less than five minutes for both. Detail of Issue: Both services suffered multiple crashes all exactly at the same point, on the curve after passing Batersea and roughly 1.0-1.2 miles from Clapham Junction. I tried 1R40 twice in a row and the same happened, only had the patience for it to crash once at the same point on 1R48. As others have said, I've been saving the game frequently, so if any game crashes occur I can reload the game - this didn't work out too well either. On 1R40, twice I reloaded a save game and, while it did not crash, I got as far as Selhurst before loads of reds were holding all the trains around here and the East Croydon area - not sure if this was a result of reloading a saved game or whether this would have happened anyway regardless of my earlier game crash. I'v yet to complete a Victoria-Reigate service since London Commuter launched as there always seems to be problems with it. How many other DLC do you have installed: I had roughly 28 DLC installed, but after some lag and stutter after London Commuter launched, I uninstalled everything - since then I have reinstalled Great Western, Isle of Wight and East Coastway, plus Koln, Sandpatch and Bakerloo. Well, after all the problems with the Reigate services, I thought I'd try a Victoria-Southampton Central and Bognor Regis service, quite frankly I gave up with TSW 2 today after this didn't work either. Platform: XB1 Loco / Cab: 8-car 377 Weather Settings: Light Rain, mostly cloud (but not completely) Date : October Service Name / Time : 1J50/1734 - Victoria-Southampton Central and Bognor Regis Issue occurred roughly how long into the service : Les than five minutes after starting. Detail of Issue: This time, rather than the game crashing and exiting (see above) I had an out of memory error - no surprise this was exactly the same place as the Reigate service issue, roughly 1.2-1.0 miles from Clapham Junction on the curve down from Battersea. How many other DLC do you have installed: See above.

Regarding the tip of saving regular on the PS 5 earlier. This actually does kind of work it I still got the crash but the save game did let it finish. 387 Service 1M35 - Brighton to Victoria crashes for me every time (on PS5 and PC) as soon as I open the doors at Victoria. So I did some trial runs on the PS5 to see if there was a way to complete the run. Run 1 - No Saves, No Pause Screen - Crashed Run 2 - Pause every 5 minutes for 2 minutes - Crashed Run 3 - Save just before Gatwick and Save again just on the run in to Victoria - Game still crashed but reloading it then finished. That's 3 hours of my life I won't get back but at least I got a gold medal and never have to do it again! (I was doing other things while driving the train so not a complete waste of time) It was a good route learning experience. Maybe I'll try the same on PC and see if it works on that as well.

Service 1F96: Missing Gatwick Airport stop booked platform 7 Arrive 18:18:30 Depart 18:20:00 Service 1D00/5D00 - Should cross to the slow line at the start (Battersea Pier Junction) then run slow all the way to Gatwick (Via East Croydon plat 5 and South Croydon plat 4. Rather than fast to Gatwick which makes me arrive 15 minutes early. Service 1U05 - Runs fast Gatwick to Earlswood then down the Redhill lines and back to the fast line at Stoats Nest Junction to Victoria. Service 1W14 - Should stop Gatwick Airport platform 7 rather than 5. (Not a major issue). Service 1M97 - This train calls additionally at Haywards Heath platform 3 arrives 08:09:30 departs 08:11:00. It then arrives at Gatwick Airport platform 4 at 08:23:00 and departs 08:28:30. The path is correct for this service.

Good Morning Friends, in this video I can demonstrate a little of what seems to cause trains to lock up, causing congestion, it turns out that this train apparently shuts down, when I go to it, and turn on the master switch, and turn the reverser forward, the train apparently restarts and continues its journey, the video cut at the end as the game broke, watch and hope this is useful.

Platform ps5 Weather default. Class 387 Timetable 1m31 Stuck at red 20 miles from Victoria. Arrival time come and gone. As I have had various red light issues and most have been fixed by going to the train ahead that is in the station opening and closing the doors it seems logical that the train stopped in the station does not have the unload/load passengers instruction therefore resulting in that train just sitting there and not able to move on.
Iv had to stop playing it. As twice now in 2 days iv done almost a whole route and right at the end it crashes. Literally an hour each time wasted. If you cant guarantee you will complete the route then it's a game breaker and unplayable, end of. I'm on PS5. I hope this is a priority. Its the best route in game but unplayable. It just sucks right now.
