Stopping AI trains at stations

[c773203]

Hi All

Probably an old issue but is there a simple answer as I am not a big time programmer.

Can AI trains be made to stop at stations, how??

I have AI trains coming from portals and going out to portals but they wont stop at the stations, even though I say navigate to X , wait Y and proceed to Z. They just simply roar through the station .

Cheers

its alright to direct the AI train to Navigate to the station but you need to direct the AI driver to load when they get to the station.

Load does not work either

I have tried load, but I cannot hold them at the station for a set time. I have also tried the wait for command with a time frame but this is ignored or the portal fails to send out the train saying it has derailed, whilst still in the portal!

What map and rollingstock are you using ?

Trains not stopping

It is a quick layout I have created and will be intended to simulate Sunshine in Melbourne. Rollingstock is all Victoria Railways stuff. I have been close to getting it to work, the train stops briefly, once the signal changes away it goes, I can't get them to sit there for whatever time duration I set in the driver commands..

I have come up with a work around, use industry track. Tell train to go to industry, wait time frame required then go to portal. Messy but works, now I have to change all tracks, reset signalling but oh well, it does want I want now, thanks for all your help

Cheers

If you are using passenger enabled stations and rolling stock a simple command sequence of "Drive to/Billabong Station/Load/drive to/?" should suffice. You can use trackmarks to Drive to/then wait 30seconds or whatever as well.
