Is there an issue with trains in England?

[DN308]

Trying to make a train running in England, I can’t make it so far.

 

The train is on the track, with the tander (g8 and g8t) and a few wagons. A Wpt is  OL to the train. 
The train is activated by a player’s wpt and the train’s wpt is activated 2s later.

 

 The train don’t move at all.

 

Is here any subtility to know???

This is historically accurate - trains in England run notoriously poorly.  Only in Germany did Hitler make the trains run on time.

Make sure it's not on a curve.

Check waypoints are centered on track and at ground level

No more than 8 or 9 cars IIRC

Well, borrowed time probably ...

 

As for England, don't forget they drive on the left there, and ported that bad habit to the SNCF in France as they built the first railways there.

Can you post a mission so that we can have a look?

They are on a strait line and Waypoint is centered at GL. Have to check how many cars....

That's the ASLEF and RMT unions for you, the buggers are always on strike.

Sorry, can’t understand those ones

ASLEF is the trade union for train drivers, RMT is the trade union for other train workers. They are regularly on strike at present which is right pain.

Ahhh. I see now. 

Yes, it could have been fun joke If it wasn’t that funny for you, railways users...

 

We have our lot of ‘professional’ strikers/semi-workers in France...

Avec un Jacket Jaune?

 

Train1 was not on a railway but in a field.

It looks like the train activation timer is triggered twice for train1, and not the train 1 start timer to the way point.

Besides with trains i tend to set priorities to low, to motivate attacks etc.

Set an extra MB with a timer, and at least train1 starts (camera added F12), your a20 is russian BTW

Small additional information, under Italian fascist rule it was a popular say that trains did start on time.

Thanks a lot. I have to check again my logic so…

I was sure the train 1 was on a railway… And  will check my Boston nationality.

But the say comes from before the war. The fascists ruled Italy for nearly 17 years before WWII from 1922 to 1939. After they stayed until 1944. So, in total 22 years, nearly a generation.

 

I checked the trains on the Normandy map south of Tangmere airfield and they run full steam. However, I could not check it they were running according to schedule.
