I know this topic has been raised quite often in the past, but over the last few days I have been experimenting with them and think I have found the problem, but unfortunately, not the solution !
It is to do with the time allowed for the item to set up correctly. That is, to have the barriers in the raised position. On small routes up to about 500MB then as surveyor or driver are loading there is time for the item to load correctly. However on routes over about 700MB then 1 of three things happen.
1)The barriers have time to get into the up position and all is well.
2)The barriers go up but the amber light comes on and then it is stuck, with cars and trains able to pass thru for the rest of the session.
3)The barriers stay in the down position with red lights flashing but cars are able to pass thru. After a train passes thru then the barriers go up and the rest of the session is OK.
It seems to be arbitary which of the 3 happen each time you go in depending on the volume of what is loading.
To counteract all this, the half barrier crossings which do almost the same thing never have a problem.
Can anybody throw any light on this ?
