AI problem - Bus driver will not move

[VeritechCEO]

I have a problem with AI drivers in a layout I'm trying to build. A Train driver driving a bus (On invisible track) will start to pull into the Bus depot but will stop right on top of the first switch on the bus depot, and get a message saying he's waiting for track clearence when there are no other busses anywhere near the area. The bus depot is actualy composed of 20 UK bus stops on top of Mckinnell's "Bus_station" as shown in the pic below:

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

If the AI driver is too close to the switch he may not change it to the correct direction and you may need to throw it for him.

If your turnouts are very close together, this can also cause a problem with the AI. You might want to try setting the trigger radius to be a bit smaller for each of the turnouts.

Veritech,
I am going to follow this one closely, and hope that your efforts succeed.

I am pretty new to Trainz, and still learning the basics, but have in mind something very similar to your bus station, although perhaps not quite as big (or indeed complex).....but obviously requiring the same basic functions.

I note that yours will be US based, but perhaps raise the question, Has anyone created a UK based bus station - perhaps one of the current National Express style, which seems it must come in a kit - as all the new builds I see look exactly the same.

Also any bus stations from various periods in history.

Still dreaming, but learning a lot from this forum
