AI train speeds through AJS Stations

[gparker]

Happy New Year to all!
Is there a way (hopefully easy) to change the speeds at which AI trains pass through AJS Stations?
I'm using TS2009, and all trains slow to about 12mph when passing through the stations, even express passenger trains which in reality would thunder through!
Is this limit something inherent in the AJS Stations or is it in the basic Auran programme control? I don't think it is in the loco progammes as they all do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

What speed is the track marked ?

There is no speed restriction at these stations. I have sent trains through at top speed, with slowing. If there is no speed restriction on the track it will default to 40 MPH, and if there is a signal or junction in conflict ahead the train will slow to half set speed on approach to the hazard. Check your track, you may have a situation.

Are your AI trains driving via a track marker in the station? I,m thinking that may be where your problem lies as I have experinced a similar problem.

Hi! Thanks for your replies. The track was marked for 60pmh.

I've just set up a new map with just a circular test track, and two AJS Station 1x50s's on opposite sides. Here's what I have found:

Under manual control, both diesel and steam locos will travel round and through the stations at whatever speed I wish;

Under AI control with instructions to 'navigate to' each station, the locos slow to about 12mph through each station, starting the slowing about 300m out (track speed marked at 60pmh);

I added track marks just beyond each of the stations and instructed the AI to go 'navigate via trackmark', and not mention the stations. The locos still slowed to about 12mph through the stations.

I have several routes on the DLS, but they are mainly branch lines where stopping at each station is expected, so I've never noticed this before.

Still puzzled!

further experiments!

Hi!

I have now found on the test track that if I instruct the AI train to 'navigate to' the second station without refering to the first one, the trains pass through the first at the track speed. Great! That solves that!

Thanks again,

Graham

If you use "Navigate via trackmark" instead of "Navigate TO" you will avoid the slowing down.
