    It's very unforgiving (we joked that it should have a black colour for difficulty rather than red). My advice would be to keep as close (or even below) 1 km/h as you can achieve when getting within 10 meters of the stop point. While technically you shouldn't use direct brake to hold speed with coaches coupled, this one probably one of the exceptions since the train is broken down on quite an unfortunate stop with a 1% gradient :D
    Use full electric brake and as soon as you hear "Stop" (or perhaps even right after the "1 meter" call) go immediately into emergency brake.

    EDIT: Probably the least frowned upon method, if electric brake is not enough to hold speed, is to drive without direct brake applied but full electric brake applied until you are within one coach (or less) and then apply train brake to stop the train, then release the train brake but apply direct brake. This would minimize the time the direct brake is applied and lower the risk of brakes overheating.

    Did you remove the reverser before moving it into "0"? This was a bug before which I submitted a fix to (so it shouldn't be possible) but since we've already had an issue with patches not getting out to all the platforms (i.e. the Interference crash on Xbox) I'm slightly worried.

    Yeah, I pressed E and nothing happened on almost every single menu possible. It's likely something broke somewhere along the way, I don't know how, but I'll give the scenario another go from the start and hope that fixes it.
