    Route: Nahverkehr Dresden
    Journey Mode Chapter: Double Edged

    The train gets stuck at a permanent red signal 8.6km from Niederau. AI traffic nearby on the map also appears stuck.

    • Route Name = London Commuter
    • Loco Name = Class 387
    • Scenario/Service Name + Start Time = 1W78, London Victoria to Brighton, 1442hrs
    • Location of the red signal, preventing the player from moving. (in relation to local landmarks/station. If you can get the signal number as well, even better) = Just to the north of Preston Park heading south, although not an issue with this particular signal but due to several trains stopped in front due to another AI service which does not move at Brighton
    • Time - How far into the scenario/service are you? (Use the in-game clock and objectives for reference) = Was almost at the end of the service - around 50 minutes into the approximate 54-minute-long service - but couldn't complete due to the aforementioned AI service at Brighton which meant the player service was impossible to complete
    • A Complete list of the add-ons you currently have installed = All German content, along with London Commuter, East Coastway, Great Western Express and Southeastern High Speed Extended
    One to flag for your reference Joethefish for any potential investigation regarding a fix.

    I have the same exact issue with Boston's 'Cold as Ice' scenario that post #10, 29, 39 & 49 has in this thread. Have tried twice with the same results.

    Caltrain 375F (from CMF to San Jose) gets stuck at a red signal. The workaround is to flip the first switch to get on the mainline track sooner.

    I am on route from Oldenburg to Bremen. 6,6 km in front of Wüsting, I have a red light that will not change. Contacting dispatcher does nothing, I do not get a message. Inspecting the track window shows me that both tracks between my location and Wüsting are marked with (X) occasionally, as if the tracks are blocked.

    Note sure whether it matters: I was way behind schedule, about 30 minutes.

    All we have been doing is telling what isn't working, but I do know that the update did fix something:

    PC (Steam), it fixed a red light issue in Hoo Dares Win.

    Before the update I sat there for 2 hrs and nothing. Tried it a few hrs ago, and right through.

    • Loco Name: DB BR 422
    • Scenario/Service Name + Start Time: Timetable - S19 Hennef (Sieg) 11:43
    • Red Signal: 58 F, the one before Sindorf
    • Time: 11:56
    • Add-ons: GWE, Main spessart bahn: Aschaffenburg-Gemunden, Rhein-Ruhr Osten: Wuppertal - Hagen, Ruhr-Sieg Nord: Hagen-Finnentrop, Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen, Rapid Transit, Hauptstrecke München - Augsburg, LGV Mediterranee, Southeastern Highspeed, Brighton Main line, Nahverkehr Dresden-Riesa, Rhein Ruhr: Duisburg-Bochum, Tharandter Rampe, S-Bahn Zentralschweiz, BR 101 Loco Add-on, BR 182 Loco Add-on, Hauptstrecke Hamburg-Lübeck, DLC 63, Schnellfahrstrecke Kassel-Würzburg, New Journeys S-Bahn Köln Br 423 Add-On, Bahnstrecke Bremen-Oldenburg
    • Additional info:
      • The train gets red light for around 30 minutes because the train that is supposed to stop later at sindorf gets the right of way. This 30 - mins - delay makes the timetable service unbeatable with gold medal.

    I was driving for about an Hour. Shortly before Koblenz I got a red signal because a freight Train is on the track where I have to go. Theoretically, that should be Service (55355) Köln nach Mannheim, which would have to leave Koblenz at 3:03 am. Up to this signal I was on Time.

    I am currently on G87021-05 Service from Aldershot to Oakville on CN Oakville sub. I have finished and went into free roam however when I am ready to depart going west towards Hamilton and back to aldershot it will not let me communicate with the signalman/RTC and I am stuck not being able to leave Oakville yard right now. All I get is “pressed” but nothing happens and it is quite infuriating as it’s not a true free roam despite saying “no restrictions” when you go from timetable to free roam

    Quick update on 'Cold As Ice' - we've reproduced this internally, so it's been logged.

    Thanks everyone for your reports. We'll be reviewing them in the coming weeks.

    You owe me 100G so far.
    TSW2: Achievement DRA: Dresden Commuter (20G) does not progress from 0%
    TSW3: Achievements CRR: Clinchfield Completionist (20G), DCZ: Moving Mountains (20G) and RSN: Valley Veteran (10G) do not unlock after completing all scenarios. There was no profile import, and I even tried on a second profile.
    TSW3: Achievements DRA: Alleskönner (10G) and NEC BP: Patriot (20G) cannot be unlocked because of red light issues.

    I've yet to attempt similar achievements for HBK, NYT and TVL, but I'll create tickets as needed.

    NEC: Boston to Providence
    Amtrak Acela Train 2160 from Providence to Boston on Xbox One with Red Light Issue still waiting for an MBTA Train to leave a station prior to this signal. The interesting thing about this train number is that I also played 2160 from Trenton to New York with no issues at all. Pictures are attached.

    And this is the MBTA train that my train passed stopping at a station before this signal and still has not left yet. I did save this game.

    Cross-posting from the Awesome services thread:

    Service: RE 81292 Wilhelmshaven - Bremen Hbf at 10:52
    Route: BRO
    Train: BR612
    Location: Delmenhorst

    I was 2 minutes ahead of schedule since I was running up to the 160 km/h track speed instead of 120, which is probably the intended for the actual stock IRL and not the 612. Before Delmenhorst, out 1 km, the signal is red. Thinking its okay since I am early just waited. The arrival time passed still have not got the road. There was a service on my arrival platform at the station that did not depart.

    Flying there in the 8 cam it was something inexplicable, train stopped short of the platform as if it was stopped at the signal facing my direction but the driver was in the Bremen end. Also there I could literally see the door switch toggling between open/close infinitely. So that was the end of the run.

    ・Play STEAM

    ・Line name Harlem Line

    ・Service number 668 train

    ・The scene harem 125 station employee former junction

    ・A follower is delayed for an accident contents precedent AI car stop

    ・It travels without a delay and holds onto the red light (there is no cancellation)

    The bug at this point is the same as before.

    I replayed this route just a couple of nights ago (March 29, 2023) and this time no red light issues until after I finished the route where there was a train pile up of Amtrak and MBTA trains heading to or leaving the depot which unfortunately I didn't completely record it all (Just part of it) as you can see on YouTube link down below but there was a lot of Yellow lights, a few reds and a short amount of green lights though out this route that I replayed!

    I hit this too. It is service 55355 sitting in the station I ran down there to see. It arrives at 2:58 and is stuck there. I tried waiting because sometimes they will leave late but at 3:38 am I gave up.

    Hello been playing this on Xbox series X working fine until I started the cajon pass dlc. The scenarios "Shop Class" just won't complete at all, have ran it 4 times now and right near the end when you must couple the train formation, it just never completes the objective.
    De-coupled and re-coupled did not fix it either. Any ideas or tips to get it working as was enjoying this game up until now.

    I have hit another one on Linke Rhein…

    it’s service 56724 on the timetable for the Br.110. It’s a freight service. I’ve been waiting 20 mins for a green signal to start the service. There is nothing on the railroad anywhere except for a train behind me stopped at a red signal because I’m presumably blocking its track.

    out of three services on the timetable I’ve tried only 1 has worked. This is not good.

    I’m having the same problem with service 54692. There is nothing on the railroad near me and I can’t get a green signal to leave koblenz. The timetable is a mess. I’ve tried every service starting between 12-3am half can’t be started/completed and 1 is an impossible gold. This is unacceptable.

    Didcot to Paddington, not St Pancras, but guess what? I keep getting an error when I try to edit my post. Can't do it. Very much like 1P16. Starts but can't make the finish line.

    Hey JD is there any update on this issue for the cold as ice scenario? I tried playing it again after the 17th April patch, it was better (not as many trains stuck outside Boston but I still couldn't complete it as Boston South station was in chaos.

    • Route Name: Great Western Express
    • Loco Name: Class 166
    • Scenario/Service Name + Start Time: 5Z50 Old Oak Common Reception Line to London Paddington, 10:57
    • Location of the red signal, preventing the player from moving: At Royal Oak, at the array of lights, on the track to platform 10.
    • Time - How far into the scenario/service are you? Currently 11:34, been here since 11:05, was supposed to be at London Paddington at 11:06.
    • A Complete list of the add-ons you currently have installed: too many to list.
    I'm on PS4. Previously I had done the short run to Old Oak Common Reception Line, then returned to Free Roam and took same Class 166 for the subsequent service (this stuck one) back towards Paddington.

    I'm stuck together with another Class 166 two tracks to my right. I've seen two HST's being allowed passage in and out further to the right, I think to one of the lower numbered platforms. There are three trains at Paddington station (a Class 166 at platform 11 and two HST's, at platforms 9 and 3 -- at 11:30 the one at platform 9 departed successfully). The Class 166 at platform 11 appears ready to depart, has a driver and passengers, but has a red signal going out.

    My track to platform 10 is free, but the switches are not set for me.

    Edit: did the run again, this time straight from the main menu, and I now had a yellow light and could complete the service. So it seems related to the service I had completed prior, where returning to free roam found the game world in a state it could not recover from.

    It's been a week since 4/20. Did you not stop, or did you start late?

    Weather: Dynamic, Rain Storm, April 29
    Spawn on foot at San Francisco at 18:30. Take over train 386 to San Jose.
    Red light bug appears while heading southbound on the usual southbound track about 2.9 miles north of San Jose at a 3-head home signal, approaching Santa Clara. Trains stacked up at every signal all the way to San Jose. (Four trains between me and my destination.)

    It looks as though a rouge switcher may be involved:

    Red lights are thankfully becoming rarer, but I experienced a shocking example today nonetheless:

    Route: London Commuter
    Service: 1W22 Gatwick Express London - Brighton (from the Journey)
    Platform: PS4
    Issue: After a nominal run all the way until Gatwick, the route started breaking completely somewhere between Gatwick and Brighton. The green path line on the map that usually disappears behind me stayed at a certain point, meaning the dispatcher for some reason thought my train was still at that location. At the same time, the entire dispatcher broke completely. All trains on the entire route were in gridlock. Gigantic AI traffic jams on the London and Brighton ends, which caused my service to be prevented from entering the station. I walked to the platforms and found a train, which was blocking my platform, completely inactive and with “not in service” PIS. Safe to say something disastrous happened there, have never seen anything like this before where an entire route just breaks. Hope this is just a one-time thing as this is the last journey service I need to complete the entire London Commuter journey!

    Update: Happy to report that this was just a one-time occurrence. Tried the service again today starting at my savepoint created a few miles before Gatwick, and it ran completely fine.

    Route: Spirit of Steam
    Service: The Red Rose (southbound Liverpool-Crewe, 17:19pm)
    Issue: As we all know, it’s essentially impossible to keep up with the Spirit of Steam passenger timetable. It’s even more difficult this time around because of the astronomical amount of coaches you’re pulling. You end up near Crewe with a delay of 10 or more minutes, which means a train blocks your platform and stays there. I’ve now been waiting at the red light for half an hour, and it hasn’t moved.
    Thankfully, I’m not the only one. Here’s a video: .
    I’ve been looking at the timetable, and it seems that service is scheduled to depart around 18:50pm. We’ll see if that gives me the green light almost an hour after I was scheduled to arrive.

    Unable to edit my comment, so: I was finally able to complete the service 50 minutes (!!!) late after the blocking train left the platform at Crewe at 18:50 (the train is the 18:47 London Easton-Preston).
    Jesus :D at least I still got a gold medal. Point is: That’s definitely not intentional. There are zero other trains at the station anyways, so why don’t you let the 18:47 London-Preston one depart from a different platform so it doesn’t block the path of the Red Rose express train.

    Problem with red lights, but due to other 3 trains ahead, which there is no reason to be there!

    I run a passenger service - Timetable - from Mainz to Koblenz, with the DB110, stopping at some stations.
    As to signals everything was green, until I was almost arrived to Koblenz. There I got a red light!.
    Then I checked the map, and I noticed another train stopped not so far away from mine. It has a red light too.
    So I looked forward, and the same situation!.
    Then I checked the map closer to Koblenz, and saw a third train also stopped by a red light!
    But strangely no train on the final platform.

    So waited some time, and nothing changed.
    Then I had no choice to give up, I lost my time, as could not end the service, and of course get very disappointed!

    But I started it again, in order to check where those trains started....
    Surprisingly they starts on some stations before Mainz!.

    So in resume, DTG created a timetable, including 3 trains ahead of mine, which never generated a yellow or red light, - in order to make the drive more interesting -, and after doing almost all the route, you find all of them stopped before the final station, not allowing you to complete it!.

    Has this any sense?!
