    Can't imagine you guys didn't do this scenario.
    While doing some shunting in Minehead I have to switch my wagons to siding 2 as highlighted. But how do I get there if it's missing a switch lever? There's also no switch lever visible on the route map. There is however a strange piece of rail which puzzles me.
    Besides a lever, what am I missing here?

    Shunts from one side of the station to the other require you to go beyond the level crossing just outside the station. All junctions outside of the yard/station are automatic so the scenario should allow you to proceed beyond the reds if you contact despatcher

    The blue line is where you need to go. If there are junctions on the line that can’t be changed by the player they should already be set for you by the game and you can just drive along that track. The part of the route you have circled is already set for you by the looks if it.

    Ah, thanks for your reply. I did forget to contact the despatcher (classic mistake!). But now I did go beyond the crossing and contacted despatcher and my request got denied and have to wait for the signal to change. But I don't think that's gonna happen. Have been waiting for minutes and the signal stays red. Requested a few more times but same answer... 20221101003252_1.jpg

    Yeah, that's another detail. When I passed the crossing the line turns blue and when I reverse the line is red again and can't go to siding 2.

    The scenario is called Minehead Shunter part 2 and it's part of the West Somerset Railway line. I just restarted the whole scenario and see if this happens again cause now I'm just stuck between 2 red light scene's. There's now way for me to escape from this. Looks like an bug in the game or a very unlucky timed savegame. Thanks for testing btw!

    It's all good now Fred. I restarted the scenario and now I got the call from dispatch that I needed. 1 red but also 1 white.
    I guess it was just an unfortunate scenario fail. Thanks for wanting to give it a test though!

    TSW4RedLightStuck.jpg Yep. On returning with 09 to take the train to the platform, "Denied train off path" and a red that never turns. I'm really getting tired of these things that worked fine in TrainsimWorld 2 and 3 but are dead in TSW4.
    Fix this. Please.
