    DTG Alex, DTG Harry, or DTG JD, would you please consider stickying this topic? I'm hoping to keep this top post updated with the list of journey mode chapters that cannot be completed in the current iteration of TSW due to bugged services and scenarios. I'm a big fan of completing journey mode chapters and am getting increasingly frustrated that the broken chapters aren't being fixed. New and veteran players continue to encounter these, and I thought it might be better for the community to centralize this information while we wait for these issues to be fixed.

    Route: Bahnstrecke Salzburg-Rosenheim
    Uncompletable Journey Mode Chapter: On TRAXX
    Bugged Service: DGS (45850) Wels to Wolfurt

    If there are any other uncompletable chapters that I have missed, please post them below so they can be added to the list. Thank you!

    12/18/24 Update: Removed Edinburgh Glasgow from the list. It was fixed in the 12/17/24 update.
    9/18/24 Update: I have confirmed that all of these bugs are still present in TSW5.
    9/9/24 Update: Added Bahnstrecke Salzburg-Rosenheim to the list. The "DGS (45850) Wels to Wolfurt" service cannot be completed due to BR 185.2 bugs that were introduced in the recent suspension patch.
    9/9/24 Update: Removed "G6-Sh04 Prepare an intermodal consist" since a workaround is now available.
    7/30/24 Update: Added Edinburgh Glasgow to the list. The "1R11 Edinburgh-Glasgow Queen Street" service cannot be completed in the new Class 158 Journey Mode.
    7/3/24 Update: Added S-Bahn Vorarlberg to the list. The "International Rescue" scenario cannot be completed after the 6/24/24 DE update.
    6/25/24 Update: Removed Ruhr-Sieg Nord from the list. It was fixed in the 6/24/24 DE update!
    5/14/24 Update: Removed Berninalinie from the list. It was fixed in the 5/14/24 Rivet update!
    4/12/24 Update: Removed Glossop Line from the list. It was fixed in the Spring 2024 core update!

    I'm assuming it's submitted to testing considering none of the patch notes mentioned it being fixed. So it would have to be the core update if the fix doesn't end up not working

    1C23 London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads cannot be completed in Journey mode. (6th journey in Chapter 2, Express Driver).

    An AI train blocks your path at the 4th signal from Paddington. The same train which blocks you doesn't spawn in when you do the service outside of journey mode.

    I recently discovered that certain sandbox options, such as removing a train from the map, are now usable in Journey Mode services. Open the map, hover over the blocking train, and click on it. This will present a Remove Train button which will delete the blocking train. I was able to earn a Journey Mode checkmark for 1C23 using this workaround. While not ideal, it is at least possible to complete this service in Journey Mode. I hope that helps!

    Thank you for getting back to me on this - I very much appreciate it. I had tried to sandbox a solution on TSW4 but that didn't allow completion of the scenario.

    You're absolutely right, the same method does now appear to permit journey mode progression in TSW5.

    Thank you for taking the time to test this and reply - you're a legend.

    (Same person diff. Account btw - Dovetail's legacy nonsense means I can't link accounts).

    Route: Clinchfield Railroad
    Uncompletable Journey Mode Chapter: Greenbriar turn
    Bugged Scenario: First Greenbriar Turn - Part 7 - Delano to Dante via Caney

    I encountered this bug a couple days ago. I did search for the same issue I had and it seems there are some quite old posts about this but nothing very recent. I have provided some workaround here: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/clinchfield-delano-to-dante-via-caney.49000/#post-914733

    In this scenario, we leave a caboose on a piece of track, switch to a siding to disconnect a bunch of coal hoppers, and then we are supposed to reconnect to the caboose. I did the scenario following the speed limit, and not being too slow, yet i find myself stuck between two red signals as an incoming train is blocked by my caboose and I am blocked by the incoming train.
    I do believe the incoming train should receive a red signal at some point before the section of track after the caboose, to allow the player to reconnect the caboose and complete the scenario. To complete I was forced to delete the incoming train.

    Route: London Commuter

    Uncompletable Journey Mode: 1D40 London Victoria to Gatwick Airport

    Just past Wandsworth Common, at the 70mph speed board, the train violently derails; carriages separating and flying off into the neighbouring houses- no points/other traffic are present at the spot the train details, so there doesn't appear to be a workaround.

    Can't even start this. Insta-derailment.

    What a load of LOVE this game has become. FUBAR.

    It can be done, just not in TSW5 for some reason.

    Also, it works fine in timetable mode.

    lorenzo#8176, I am keeping this particular list narrowed to services/scenarios that cannot be completed with any known workarounds, but I may create a companion topic to this one that lists services/scenarios that require workarounds for completion. Thank you for the workaround, and I’m glad you were able to finish the service!

    I just completed 1D40 London Victoria to Gatwick Airport from Journey Mode in TSW5 on PS5 without any derailments. I have previously experienced derailment issues on London Commuter, particularly when starting a service. I was always able to correct this problem by closing TSW entirely and starting the service again, so I recommend giving this service another try.

    Insta-derailment ? Is this glitch back again with the train spawning inside the buffer ? Geez…

    Still an issue in TSW5 on PC, you can remove the train and continue via the map as a workaround.
