    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. But the footage in the YouTube video is after restarting. After the first time it happened I hit restart, and started recording to see if it would happen again. It did.

    Oddly enough, the first time I played this service, nothing happened and I completed it (getting the gold medal is impossible, but that's another story). However the second time I played, I did get a phantom SPAD. It was just a few moments after the service started. I haven't experienced this on any other service as of yet.

    If you get a phantom Spad it's not your fault. If any train on the route (player or AI) passes a red it'll fail you. So there's some timing issue where an AI train somehwere is currently moving and it doesn't get the proper signal so it spads.

    Would be hard to track down but possible.

    Or it could be an incorrectly placed signal link. This is an issue that also affects the steam route.

    The phantom SPAD has just happened to me on this route.
    I tried another 3 times getting the same result.
    It's a shame really. It means I can't complete the journeys.
    All the other journey routes have worked ok so far.

    I finally managed to complete this route.
    As soon as the scenario loaded, I went to the map screen and waited around a minute and then went back to the cab screen and all was ok after that. No SPAD.
     
  9. Do you have the class 37 layer mod? After installing this I get a couple of random spads at hoo yard.

    Just ran service 0Y67 on my pc and had no issues with it. Used the class 66 which comes with TSW3, which is the middle one in the selection box. You can also tell if it is this one when you turn on AWS. In the earlier models of the 66 this breaker was labeled 12-volt breaker but in the new 66 it is the AWS breaker.
