    Hello,
    When arriving into Reading when you go over the AWS strip mid platform it applies emergency brakes. I tried it again and it is repeatable.

    Yes, it’s annoying. I always turn the safety systems off when approaching Reading just in case, as I’ve had it happen on multiple services.

    Yes I tried it again straight after with the AWS disabled and didn't send the passengers flying but it is annoying and should be fixed, especially as the 125 is IMO still the greatest looking train even though the addon like the train itself is somewhat old.

    I assumed it was linked to the TPWS/DSD as when this is isolated you dont have to be crawling into reading at walking pace, I thought! however it has happened to me with the 66 with no active TPWS or DSD. I agree with Jason platform 9 is the issue.
