When I arrive at Tunbridge Wells, tried different position stops on the platform but where ever I stop im getting a 9 min loading time, any one else getting the same results, also when in the stn im unable to get a external view, so im thinking that the rear of the train is still in the tunnel so maybe that's making the loading time so long.
Also got stuck at a red light for a good ten mins 1.68 miles from Cannon st, so i quit in the end.

If you rushed into London, you will come a cross quite a few red lights. A networker joins the up slow at Hither Green and arrives at Cannon Street at 17:28, two minutes before you arrive at 17:30.

I thought my 3 minute wait on my Caterham to Cannon Street activity was an age!!

I quite like long station stops, it gives me time to put the kettle on and have a smoke. :)

Also in the activities I write I sometimes put a long station stop in on purpose, (8 - 10 mins), but then have quite a few AI services passing through or stopping.

I always have at least one stop of 3 minutes. In that time i can go to the loo and make a fresh cup of tea, and get back just as the whistle blows for the off :)

what i propose you do is forget the ok to proceed and just leave at the timetabled departure of 16:31. This should sort out the problem with the red light. It's very busy around the london area at that time of day so thats why some signals are unlit.
