    Hi there,

    I have the usual AWS and safety systems on.

    Often, usually entering a station, the brakes will slam on and I end up stopping 100+ yards before the stop point.

    you say you have the AWS etc on, is the daisy yellow or black when it does the emergency stop? Could be you have a "silent AWS" issue as in the alarm isn't going off but the AWS is still tripping

    Or you may have passed a speed-control loop too fast; most passenger platforms in terminus stations have them so that drivers don't come screaming in and then slam the brakes on. Did the Brake Demand light come on?

    TPWS OSS and TSS is simulated on London-Brighton, TPWS TSS only is simulated on Cathcart.

    OSS is also modeled on GWE (including the notorious Reading platform loop)

    I believe it must be something to do with this, I am not breaking any speed limits....
    How do I raise this as a possible bug?

    If you use the typical keyboard controls to turn on all the safety systems, you will probably turn on the DSD (you can basically not leave the seat) on this train. Unfortunately the system is wrongly implemented, and works as a DVD (checks that you are vigilant and needs acknowledging every now and then), but doesn’t sound the warning alarm (since it shouldnt be like that anyway). It is a known bug, expect a fix anytime in the next 10 to 20 years. Next time you play, try turning on the AWS with the handle in the back of the cab (don’t use the keyboard shortcuts) and see if you still get the problem.

    Or just run without the AWS!
