I'm not kidding when I say this.
I was driving my Gloucester Terminal Electric yesterday. (GFisher's Gloucester Terminal, updated for trolley and freight). I have about 8 AI drivers who drive the trolleys around making stops along with maybe 6 AI portal dudes who come and go, and do not interfere with anyone except when I intervene. Along with this traffic running, I do some local switching.
During my session, I kept getting interrupted and kept pressing Pause then resuming later. I didn't think much of it until a bit later when the session started getting a bit chunky, and the notification box icon was blinking. I exited from my loco and check the other drivers to see what was up. All the trolley drivers got stuck or were stopped in the middle of the route. If I clicked on the guys who stopped in the middle of nowhere, stopped them, and had them continue, they resumed as though nothing was wrong. The other drivers got themselves confused and were stuck at various junctions which normally don't cause any issues. For those guys, I had to do the usual stop, and release junctions manually.
Things ran fine for another loop around, and then they got stuck again in a simliar fashion, but in different spots. After dealing with this a few more times, I exited the session and started again without any hiccups. Everyone was back driving like thy should without getting stuck. I wonder if the pausing caused the AI scripts and threads to get confused. It's either this or they decided that if I took a break, they could too and headed off to the local pub for a few!

I'm getting used to the early retirement and becoming a pensioner. It was a forced decision, but for the better now that I think about it more.
