The following is a list of ARS messages you may encounter when attempting certain actions, such as setting a conflicting route . Thanks to Clive Feather for the original list.
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A train is already on the section of track that the other train needs | |
| The red signal the train is approaching is an automatic signal, so ARS can't do anything. | |
| You have attempted to make the train ARS, however the train is off it's planned path, so ARS doesn't know what to do with it. | |
| The Train Description that has just been interposed is identical to another description already in the area | |
| The train does not require a route to be set (as a rule, the train has at least 2 green signals ahead of it) | |
| The train is entering the area in non-ARS mode, so you will need to route it manually. | |
| The train has entered your control area on the wrong line (e.g. it's been put on the Fast instead of the Slow) | |
| A route set for the train will foul the overlap for another train. | |
| ARS has judged the second train to be more important, so is holding this train back. | |
| ARS is setting routes for this train. | |
