Hello, can anyone give me any suggestions to help me with issues I'm having on the bakerloo line? The best I can do to describe it is that the train seems to just randomly cut out at some point on the line, which brings it to a complete stop, and it refuses to start again, even if I reset it. I've seen someone say that there are dead points on the track, but it just seems to be a random occurance for me, where at some point on a service the throttle no longer causes the train to accelerate, and the whole train will gradually stop and lock up.
When you have the train stopped, is the break cylinder up to 4.0 because if not, the train will not move.
How do I see this? I can see brake pressure is 4.3. Currently the situation is now that I brake to stop at the station, then that's it, the train just dies. As soon as I change to brakes, I can no longer accelerate. My speedometer also has a red square around the number which indicates the throttle power.
Ok so it's not a break issue then. There was probably a button or switch that you pressed that wouldn't make the train move. I forget what it is
I'm no longer sure, as this time I have literally just accelerated and braked, making sure not to go too fast or put the brakes in emergency mode. I've not pressed anything on the dashboard or opened the windows. I've looked through the forums and seen this happens to a few people but no one knows how to fix this. Is it a glitch, because resetting the train does nothing. As I say, it is literally like the train will just randomly cut the power and die.
I've never had this problem before so it might be a bug. I recommend putting a ticket or put this in the technical reports section of the forum because it could be a bug
To reset the break pressure, you put the break into notch 1/hold and the breaks will recharge. To reset the train, you put the throttle/break leaver into shutdown, take out the direction lever. Then you put back the direction leaver but put it into inter, then you put the throttle/break into breaking position notch1/hold which will charge the breaks and your good to go
Ok, I am fairly sure I did try this, but I shall try this again. Failing this I will submit a ticket as you've said as a possible glitch.
Neither of those worked unfortunately, so this must be a bug or some issue, as my train will always loose power at some point during a timetable and I cannot get it to start again
I ran into this issue after opening windows on Bakerloo, but honestly haven't played this route since just after launch. Hope you're able to get it resolved.
That's the thing, one run I literally just accelerate and coasted to stations, and it still happened. Stop at a station, then I lose all power. No windows open, no emergency brakes, no missing third rail. Brake pressure above 4.3, no safety warnings, just total loss of power, meaning I can't progress at all
I have experienced exactly the same problem 3 times now. I’ve completed the reset procedure as other have suggested, but this hasn’t helped at all. Train is completely dead- saloon lights only on emergency lighting, red power lock out symbol on the HUD, brake pressure fully charged, but doesn’t want to budge. I have experienced similar on Schnellfahstrecke Koln line too which I reported in the technical reports forum, but it seems my post has been removed! This is beyond annoying and is starting to spoil the game.
Sounds to me that you haven’t closed the doors. If it only happens at stations, that’s the most likely cause. If you accidentally open the doors on the other side of the train, then you will not be going anywhere. Check the door indicators on the HUD to ensure both side are closed before trying to take power.
Well that is very odd. I can’t think of anything else that could be causing it. You’ve reported it in the technical reports section I see, so maybe someone can help and if others get the same issue the devs can look at it.
I hope so, this game is steadily becoming one of my favourites, and I want to complete this route, however with the issue I'm having I've moved on as losing progress over and over is very frustrating.
I have had pretty much this same bug. Throttle goes dead, nothing will bring it back. In my case, it turned out to be a mod that was causing the problem. Do you have any mods installed?
It is very odd, I'm 100% unsure if this is a glitch or if I'm oblivious to a safety feature that hasn't been explained. But following other suggestions and videos, it still happens, so I think this must be a glitch.
I have the same experience... Arrive at station, open doors, close doors and try to move. Nothing! know for sure all doors are closed. It doesn't matter what you do, it won't move. Shut down completely, remove reverser key. I really wonder what it could be, it is annoying. Even more when you reach the end of the track and didn't save in between.
Not sure if this has been fixed, but I'm currently playing this route, and the problem has not happened, meaning I've been able to complete some more of the journey! The only thing I have noticed (I'm not sure if this was happening before) is that the MR gauge is now recharging at just about every station. I'm not sure if it was doing this before, but for now this route is playable again for me!
AFAIK, there was no material for Bakerloo included in the last patch download; the only files dated 2/2 in my installation are for GWE and NTP (I don't have LGV). The Bakerloo .pak is still dated 1/11.
I know this is unrelated to this specific issue, but has anyone else had an issue on a service where you have to park the train in Stonebridge park depot and the objective marker guides you to a bay where there is already a train?
Perhaps the glitch is random? I did nothing different than usual, however I noticed that the MR gauge was recharging at every station more or less, which I'm unsure if it was doing before? But for whatever reason I have been able to complete three services now in a row without any issues
I have had exactly the same problem now. I am going to stop playing the game. It's just infuriating. You cannot complete a single challenge with it. Restart doesn't work, you have to reset the whole challenge and waste an hour. Terrible game.
The issue is the dead man's handle, which pops up at stops unless you manually depress it. So long as it's up the brake system won't recharge, which means that (at some point) you run out of air and the brakes won't release at all. I don't believe anyone has ever figured out how to recover, but it can be prevented.
This makes sense. The explanation I saw was that the brake recharge system is only triggered if the reservoir is equal to a certain value, but somehow this could be skipped. I now understand that if the deadman's handle is released when the reservoir reaches the specific value, then the reservoir will keep dropping. I say 'specific value' because I don't remember the number. I think it was 4.1, but I can't be sure.
