    When i drive service 2R17 i can't get past a red signal just after Slough going to Burnham.
    Next to me on the other track another AI train is also stuck in front of a red signal.
    Request to pass signal at Danger doesn't permit me to go past it, so the train is stuck at that station.

    Service: 2R17 from London Paddington to Reading departing on 08:12

    Save it where you are. Return to main menu. Then select last played. Train in front moves on and your light changes to amber.

    Yup, totally works. Save & reload. You're kind of chasing yellows the rest of the way, but I had no further hang ups. Thanks for the help!

    That's an interesting fix, especially because I found almost every time I loaded a saved game on GWE I came to a never changing red light, yet when I played services without loading I didn't have any issues.
    Saying that however, I still have a few services to complete.

    So I didnt do the above mentioned service but I did the 2P47. I had a problem with signal SN36 on the up relief (the signal is on a gantry opposite the Royal Oak station sign at....... Royal Oak lol) There was nothing obstructing the platform at Paddington. Incidently I had saved the game a few times plus had saved then siwtched the console off as I was doing other bits then came back later this afternoon. I reloaded the save game from the last plast played button and all was fine. I managed to get into Paddington ok and on time.

    cheers for the helpful tip.
