Very glad there's a remove a train option, I was playing SEHS 5J96 form the awesome services sheet and I got stopped outside Ashford via in cab signalling (Was on supposed to go via) and had to wait for ages looked on the map and it was all red lights on the other side of Ashford with AI trains stopped. Clicked on remove one AI train and the others started moving! All sorted now, classic bug getting stopped for no reason but at least I could finish the service. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...4lUuBrw-k2_y7FxuzH6mZ1m3Qu4YTfLViTfxQ/pubhtml
When it happens to me I just pretend it’s a failed train or incident on the line ahead, and eventually (having confirmed the train isn’t moving) I delete it, and the rest of network starts moving again.
I'm glad too whit this function since TSW4, lost the count of services that have stuck trains on WCMLS, whitout this function hope i have give up on TSW a bit of time ago
I remember in TSW4 I was doing a late evening service on PBD going southbound and a freight train that got directed into the passing loop between Doncaster and Retford just didn't drive in far enough and the end was sticking out, meaning I had to delete it to continue.
I dont know what im doing wrong but can you explain how you remove a train,other than your own train? Ive been stuck a few times and just restarted,this sounds much easier. On XSX.
Go on the map, click the train you want to remove, a little menù appear whit 3 options: delete train, add path and another that don't remember, select delete train, at this point the train disappear from the map and for some reason you are standing in the cab of your train, sit down again on your cab and accept again the service you are driving
I always said, rather cynically, they introduced this feature because it was easier than fixing the dispatcher. It could mean they have no plans to fix it – but hopefully it was only to ease players' frustrations while they fix it.
Does not always work i removed a train blocking my path then got stuck at red signal that would change waited almost an hour then I gave up.
Maybe there was another train in a section ahead or you could try speaking to signaller for permission to pass, sometimes that works!
Just bear in mind after doing this, you will find yourself out of the driver’s chair on the train you’re working, with a dire warning about blowing the scenario/Journey/Timetable if you sit down again. Though in practice despite that it always completed okay for me on the occasions I had to delete a train.
As it should. They only reason to remove a train is because of the dispatcher bugging and the trains getting stuck. As others have said, this feature is a lifesaver. Shouldn't have been necessary, but as long as the bug is there, it's a must-have feature. Usage shouldn't be penalized.
If your on Xbox using this option you have to get out of your train to remove the train. So for example if the train is so far away and if it doesn’t move you have to get out of your train and walk miles to remove a train. Is there option the an option you can just set in the train and then remove it from there
I agree its a lifesaver, though the necessity of such a feature doesn't reflect well on the game overall. DW
