During the WCML Chain I am hosting 4L97 entered via the Manchester Independants and it showed next location as Basford Hall Junction. I routed it through the UTS and it came to a stand at Signal UTS. After authorising it to pass it has vanished in to thin air and disappeared. Our theory is that it was lifted from the tracks by several cargo bobs in a 2015 version of the great train robbery.

I26, please can you provide a save game. Without a save game it is considerably harder for us to identify the issue as we can't always replicate eerything that has happened

Logged a placeholder ticket as Mantis 38569

Trains should never see that signal at Red. The default off sim point position is to throw a train off the sim rather than proceeding through to Basford Hall Junction.

So in other words we derailed it? I noticed that when hosting a single chain with Man South that some trains stop at signals when entering Arrival 1 and 2 but then start moving again of their own accord. Save attached.

A bad choice of words on my part. I should have said that the default point position is to throw the train into the yard rather than straight through.

There is some simple auto routing on each line which either puts the train into the sidings or through to Basford Hall. By the sounds of it, I need to tighten those times up.
