    The last run before the last chapiter can not be completed, as the last stop can not be register unless you stop beyond it which mean you past the red light, I was stopped at 2m before it and it was not counting, and you can not ove the train once it is stopped there, it will only move backward but not forward, as the speedmeter will get in red but the rain will only move backward

    also what is with the red S line on each side of the speed showing

    Red S means you have wheelslip. If you need to inch forward apply an absolute minimum of throttle. Not got anywhere near this one yet but I really detest scenarios where the objectives require you to stop bang on the mark, some of the US freight routes being infamous for it. You cannot fine feather a multi 1000 tonne freight train down to that precision a stop in front of a red signal.

    While we’re talking about journey mode, I absolutely detest the fact that certain chapters need to be fully completed to unlock more now. I was always someone who used to “pick and choose” journey services, so being forced to play each and every one of them now really sucks for me. There should be a “unlock all journey chapters” toggle in the settings for players like myself.

    This one is really hard but doable :)

    The key to that one is to come to a stop, disable AFB and LZB, then use aminimum of throttle to creep forward.

    I am rather ticked that DTG are still placing stop markers bang on top of signals, after having promised multiple times to stop doing it

    This one is not only close to the signal but aswell snowy uphill. There is only one chance to stop in right place there :)

    I rarely use the PCB/LSD system as the max speed is too slow (70km or 85km), and I always use the lowest possible gear, but to get this train moving you must be on 6th or 7th gear.

    and the red S are always present throughout the whole run, except if you exceed the max speed of cargo train which is 100km if you do not use the PCB system, in which case it would be 70km

    That's not actually correct. 70 km/h is the speed, under PZB Mode M, to which you have to slow down when you encounter an adverse signal or sign. Running with clear/green signal state, your maximum speed (MAS/Vmax) is a function of exactly what and how many freight cars you're pulling, but is generally always at least 100 km/h.

    well when the PZB is used, there is a bright blue light showing either 70 or 85, and that is the max speed the train is allowed to run at

    Either way, it still does make the run doable

    No no no, PZB 70 & 85 is NOT about vmax.

    Please read a guide on how to use PZB. The 55, 70 or 85 markers tell you which PZB mode (low, medium or high) you're running in. The numbers indicate the speed you have to reach within a limited time (resp. 38, 29 or 23 seconds) when passing an active 1000Hz magnet, not the maximum allowed speed. The unrestricted Vmax is 105kmh for PZB 55, 125 for PZB 70 and 165 for PZB 85.

    See e.g. Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punktförmige_Zugbeeinflussung
