    Hi
    Sorry if this has been raised previously.
    I have returned to playing TSW2 for the past couple of days, trying to complete timetable servicesand came across some issues.

    1 - I noticed that WSR using Class 52 service BL1, when you reach Blue Anchor station the crossing gates are closed and you cannot continue.
    2 - GWE, service 2R53 (class 160) - red light at Royal oak resulting in a stand off with another class 160.

    Any news on these that I may have missed?
    Thanks

    I haven't played WSR in a while so it may have changed. Since the preservation update I've not experienced an issue like this, I did before. I assume everything else indicated that the gates should open, i.e. no service approaching Blue Anchor in opposite direction. If so I'd either go to the technical report section on the forums or raise a support ticket (link to it is probably somewhere in the formus, Ill try find it and add it below).

    With the GWE issue, when you say stand off do you mean that one unit is on the same track as you going the opposite direction (it would crash into if there were no signals) or is it at the next signal ahead of you. is it in a siding ?

    On the PS5 version, a workaround for 2R53 is to spawn on foot at 16:40 at Paddington and join the train on platform 10. Make sure the signal is green when you leave and do not leave early otherwise the Greenford service you follow gets stuck at West Ealing. I have a copious list of all the issues I’ve found driving the 339 services on GWE so if there are any others I may be able to help. As for WSR, I don’t have it installed right now so not much use!

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply.
    I am going to complete all GWE services first to get a complete list (I am about two thirds through the 166 services at the moment.
    Thanks
    Dave

    I am slowly getting through it myself, I am trying for gold on all services that can be completed.
    Its just something to pass the time until we get back to 'Normal'
    Thanks again
    Dave

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply.
    At Blue Anchor, using the 52, service BL 1.
    The crossing gates are closed, no other service is present and signal is red.

    service 2R53 on GWE.
    Red light at Royal oak, permission not granted to proceed, after a few minutes, another 166 comes in from the West and stops a short distance away from you on the same track, face to face.
    Thanks
