1P42 wrong route - am I going mad? 27/08/2018 at 17:11 #111566

To start with, please tell me if I'm becoming boring asking stupid questions and I will desist.

But before that, have I really set a wrong route? Please look at the attached screenshot and tell me if I have gone mad and actually have set an incorrect route.
I have also provided a saved game (saves you having to ask for one), but you'll have to be patient because 1P42 is waiting for other train movements before it's route is set.


I'll probably abandon TT and take it from there.

EDIT: Well that didn't work for some reason. After abandoning the TT, I still kept getting "wrong route" messages and the train wouldn't budge. So what should I be doing?

What is the content of the call from the driver? Wrong route, onto goods line, incorrect traction are possibilities.

It would be appreciated if you took a moment to read what the trains themselves are telling you:


Dump it in 2 or 3 according to preference.

EDIT TO ADD: Please do report anything you think is a bug, but at the same time take a moment to look at the messages the simulation produces, and the timetable notes/manual to make sure it isn't intentional behaviour.

"Driver of 1P42 has an incorrect route set at signal 423 (Fletton area): train too long"

Steamer beat me to it :-(

Good advice. Thanks.

I've got to admit that I didn't notice the part of the message that told me that the train was too long.
I'll do as you suggest.
