    Hi guys,
    I'm doing the Heavy Traffic scenario. When I change ends at Watford Junction, the brakes won't release. I've reset the battery, switched off reverser and master key, cycled AC power dropped and raised the pantograph, but the brakes remain on 3.0 and refuse to drop! Any clues before there's a PS5 shaped hole in the window!

    You did make sure the PBC was in Max brake, not emergency, I did make that mistake in error and did not notice it on "Football Frenzy"; it's really easy to make this error and not see it when trying to move quickly.

    I just completed it on my Xbox Series X, I did notice that the first P1 does not always accept the input, but the second P1 notch does accept the input, and I can hear the coil whine of the motors kick in. The other issue I noticed is that while driving to the cab changeover location, you have to make several speed changes, and once you do, the driver motors no longer work, by putting the PBC to off, then applying power, I could hear the coil whine of the motors.
    First P1 notch

    i did pull it up to p3
    i even shut down the power and followed the startup at the beginning too
    just to tried that out :)
    but it just stays in breaking
    i already got the scenario done anyway when it just was released
    but was curious about it to see if it still worked

    It seems like the PC and PS5 versions are fubard again, it was patched and even saw people talking about it working.
    I have a fair amount of checking to make sure my PC version is conflict-free with mods after letting it update.

    I get this even when sometimes just stopping the unit and then trying to drive off again. Doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to it - an intermittent fault. Best book in an appointment with your local glazier! :D

    I have the same problem. I go to the other end of the train and it won't start. I'm playing on PS5.

    Yeah, the P1 Bug is back. It was fixed, and it does work fine XB-X, but it seems to have gotten bugged on PS5 and PC, I just tested on my PC version.
