Impossible Service: Ice 1580 München Hbf To Frankfurt(main)hbf

Issue summary: The service [ICE 1580 München Hbf to Frankfurt(Main)Hbf 18:32] is impossible to complete because halfway to Fulda, you get routed to the left side of the track, which is blocked, of course. You will be late at Fulda, and the signal won't turn green.



Also, the coupler's hatch opens automatically at the beginning of this service, which can't be right.


Platform: PC / Steam
Route: Kassel - Würzburg
Train: DB BR 403 / ICE 3
Service and time: ICE 1580 München Hbf to Frankfurt(Main)Hbf 18:32
Journey mode chapter: ICEd out, 4th service

 

I’ve seen your post but it was the only service left in the chapter so I decided to try and after 10/15 minutes waiting in front of the signal, a train passed and turned green and I was able to complete the service. I’m on PS5 btw

 

And the coupler just closed it self, I didn’t touch anything and it closed. But that’s fine, great work on TSW3. Congrats!

 

The ICE3's coupler doors close automatically when travelling above 30km/h by design.

 

I thought it would be worth mentioning I just completed this service with no problems. After a ICE1 passed I was cleared to the opposite line… that’s probably wrong… and arrived at Fulda on time and on to Kassel with no problems.

 

If you are going to enforce a wait, then the scenario needs to pop up a message and tell you so. Not to mention it hardly makes for riveting gameplay even if, like me, you keep a novel by the PC for such eventualities.
