    Hello everyone,

    I’ve been playing SEHS a lot recently and a couple on times in timetable modern, there is a train in front with has gone through the signal slightly and the signal is red. Is there anyway around this? It mostly happens when driving the 37 or 66.
    Example service - class 66 at 1645 from dartford.

    Yeah and that’s annoying, it happens mostly while using the 37 ROG, at Gillingham station platform 2, there’s always a train passed the signal, stopped for no reason even though there’s no trains ahead.

    I saw a Javelin do this near Strood whilst driving a Thameslink service to Rainham.

    Never encountered it before.

    This consistently happens when you spawn in at precisely 10:00AM, there's a Thameslink service just leaving Dartford in this exact position. The problem is the timetable itself, when you load in at certain times it will spawn the services where it thinks they should be along their journeys.In this case on this route it frequently spawns them at an odd in-between point, just past the signal enough to turn it red because it has crossed into the next block, but still in front of it enough for the AI to read it and say 'red signal, do not proceed', even if the AI is causing the signal itself. It seems as though this is what has replaced the SPAD issues, so I wonder if it's a direct consequence of the fix they implemented? At any rate the only fix I have is to either delete the train in question with the free roam tools or load in 5 minutes before/after so that it isn't at the signal. That doesn't offer much comfort for when you load into a timetable service though, the only thing I can suggest for that is to load in on foot at the start point just before the service arrives and take over from there.

    Yeah this happens quite a lot since last patch on this route. Trains stuck there just a few meters past a red signal and blocking the path.
    Have to delete that stuck train to if you are behind.
