The non-player timetable services do not run. They remain at their intial station and therefore deny all routes for ongoing services? Is this an issue or am I setting it up wrong?
If you are talking about the scenario planner, make sure that the services do not have a start time before your own service. That means for example, if your service (the player service) starts at 12:00, you cannot have any AI train that has a start time before 12:00. If they have an earlier start time, they will spawn but they will not start moving. They need the same or later starting time as the player driveable service.
