Hi, have run the scenario twice and keep getting AI collision at Twyford? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello, sorry about this. I’ve tested the scenario in full 3 times and seem to have no issues. At what point in the scenario does the collision occur? Is it straight when you load in?
Hi there,
I noticed it in the scenario description and thought it might’ve been a mistake but the headcode of the service is 5R79, a class 5 empty coaching stock run (Not in service). Having loaded up the scenario to check, you’ve set instructions to pick up passengers. Having checked on Real Time Trains, the service is booked to be non stop Paddington to Reading, split the train and front unit into the depot.
Thanks for pointing that out, might’ve been confused with another service. I can’t seem to find the page that I had open with the headcode but this would’ve been more similar to a service like the 2R22, except the fact that GWR had trains stopping at more stops (like in the scenario) before crossrail was introduced.
The difference there is that they had a stopping passenger service (like 2R22) and just added a few stops. The service you’ve taken is a booked empties run and wouldn’t have been able to have stops added. A Class 5 working cannot pick up passengers like a class 1 or 2 can.
Yeah no it wasn’t the 5R79 that I meant to put my bad haha.
