I am testing a new activity, which will be released, but I need to solve this problem before I can continue testing properley! The screenshot should explain it... The text and time from the Stations tab is missing! I have MSTS Bin installed (The latest stable version, 1.7.0519)

My guess is that you're not using Trainstore and have too many consists. When you hit Esc, is some of the text missing also?

Check also the type of stock in the wag files for the stock you are hauling. If it is shown as freight, you wont get any station stops or timings. It should show "Carriage" to get them.

Does this file happen to have any problems? I have studied the wag files for the Anglia MK2 set and found no names for it!

Ive checked all 4 wag files from the download zip and they are all correctly showing the type as Carriage. So it doesnt look like that is the problem, unless your download was corrupt in some way.
Try opening the activity (I assume you are running an activity) in the Activity Editor, click on edit for the player service and check that station stops have been ticked for the required stops. if they are all unticked then there are no scheduled stops

Cheers matey, deleted some old consists and old trains, and some trains I don't use at all such as all SWT Trains, and LSC trains. And I ticked those boxes that you speak of and it worked a treat! This activity will be up sometime in April! (Along with a few more Anglia-themed activities I'm planning.

Sounds like rather than deleting consists and trains, which usually ends in tears, you should be using Trainstore - you won't regret it. For creating activities read up on Maintenance Mode.
