    I don't know if anyone has had this issue. But I'm creating a scenario for the merged route and any AI train i put down, wont leave Platform 3 at Newport. It will go past the signal on the platform but then stop just as the Platform finishes. I have taken a screenshot of where this occurs, the trains will literally not move any further than there. But just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? And knows how to fix it.

    I mean i haven't really looked at this route in a long time, but surprised at this though. Although what are you doing? as in where is the AI going too (just need steps to try and repro it :) )

    (the bad side though if there is something broken with the route - I would have to delete and re-upload it, i can't update in on that workshop page )

    edit - Although you say P3 but that's going into P2 and you have a stopping marker that says P4 :)
    edit2 - I just did this and it worked, so need to know exactly what instructions you are using for the AI :) )

    Oh my bad, ye the IET is leaving P2 (not P3) and heading towards Cardiff. The P4 Marker is for the player train not the IET which is AI. It's just P2 that has the issue for AI, every other Platform at Newport is fine.

    Does it never move? or is the signal red? I Just tested one train (the AI that goes through P2 - but there could be other things causing it too :) ), and the result of the one train is the train goes into p2, stops and then goes away, so i don't think there is a route issue here at least).

    I think it's more likely a dispatcher issue or something that's blocking it from moving (the fun of TS1 and scenarios)

    It will move past the signal which is at green and then just stop at the end of the platform like in the picture in my first post. There's nothing in its path at all which is the strangest part. It should move over to the main line at the junction at the end of the platform but it just seems like somethings telling it, it can't do it. Like you say the fun of the dispatcher in TSC :)

    In my case the train went into the tunnel and was fine (using the same portals and everything :) ), so I'm thinking perhaps there is another Ai just blocking it, but i can only test what i see though (I did also use the AP 800 )

    Weirdest part is the issue only came up when someone testing my scenario had to save and then reload the scenario and then it happened. Where as when I drove straight from Swansea to Shrewsbury with no saving and reloading. No issue at at Newport P2 at all.

    Ah save and reload - that's where the issue is probably coming from - Save and Reload always has issues like that.

    Just to double check, are you testing directly from the play button in the scenario or going back to the main menu and loading from the menu?

    Thanks, that rules out a signal load issue. Only advice from me is deleting the offending train and rebuilding it and seeing if that puts a rocket up the dispatchers proverbial! Beyond that maybe playing with it's priority as well :)

    Cheers Rob. Ye I tried both of those suggestions as well. As I say, only happens when a save and reload happens, so I'll just have to live with it. Thank you to you both though :)
