    Hello,

    I started this service from Journey mode.
    Set out from Bishops Lydeard at 11:15, and arrived at Crowcombe at 11:30:36.
    My next stop is Willton, 5.6 miles away, arrival time is 12:01:00.
    However, I cannot leave this station, because I have a red light. Up on the line, I can see 7 carriages stopped, no locomotive. There are no sidings there, so cannot go around them.

    I'm not sure if this whole thing is intended, in which case it's an extremely boring idea (more like a prank, really), or there's some sort of bug (missing locomotive?).

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    P.S. found an old thread in Technical Reports about the same service, but (a) he seems to have reached much farther than I can, and (b) no replies to his thread.

    UPDATE: the train without a locomotive is at Stogumber, a single platform station. I traveled with the free camera and found it. I'm still at Crowcombe red light, and won't be able to make my timetable.
    I will just assume this is the "headless train" bug, which we've seen on German routes. I will try to restart and see if that train has a locomotive.

    On restart, I can see that the consist at Stogumber has a locomotive this time. It's not moving yet, but I suspect we will cross paths at the Crowcombe station.

    Too bad there’s no 2x speed button, eh?

    On PC it can be done with "slomo" console command / godmode mod.
