Xbox Series S 7f26 Dalston To Stanlow Part 1 Service Spawns With No Train (wcml Preston To Carlisle)

So the service 7F26 in the Preston to Carlisle DLC...

"Drive this Oil Train from Currock Jn to Upperby"
Time of Day : 14:30 PM
Timetable/Scenario Duration - Approx 8-10 minutes.

I boot up the scenario, in the Class 40 BLU (Black Headcode), and it spawned me at Morecambe, on foot, with no train to speak of.

Task list states to wait 1 minute, then to drive to the specified location being 56 MILES AWAY....
No biggie, so I load the same service again, this time to spawn on foot at Kingmoor Depot...

Here an anomaly happens which is unrelated, but figured still worth mentioning... several DLC Thumbnails now have a black background with a red cross through them. Apologies this is unrelated, but I decided to try one being, Birmingham Cross City, I chose the "High Speed Train EMT", more commonly known as the Class 43 "125" selecting the 17:56 PM 5E23 St Philips to Doncaster Works Service. Which worked fine, even the DLC thumbnail returned.

So I load the same service a third time... this time opting to select the "Class 47/4 HI IC WCML Shap"
Same result.. except this time, Spawning on foot at Kingmoor Yard. Same as before: Wait for 1 Minute to then be told to Drive to "Upperby Up Goods" 3.7 Miles away.

THANKFULLY.... the Part 2 of this Service works, with you spawning in the train selected with some Oil wagons attached to the rear.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I love the long distance drives, as the part 2 of this service apparently has you doing a 2 hr 54 min approx run.

Will post links to the clips I snapped showcasing this in action.

Clip showcasing the issue

 

I remember the days when this bug was a constant fixture all over the place. I've been running into it more and more the last couple of weeks.

 

Why am I not surprised...

 

It does this on other routes as well.
