Pathing problems

[david1]

I have just done a scenario for York-Newcastle modern, driving a HST non stop York to Newcastle (KX-Abd) I depart York 1402 and the service arrives at Newcastle at 1500 RW says 1511 ticking the timetable box i have entered 1459 arrival time (for 1500 departure) as i speed northward i get stopped on the mainline at Darlington at 1425/6 waiting for a southbound service going across me into Darlington station at 1534 is there a way of getting the path without changing my train better than an express or changing the southbound service lower than an express.

What is the effort percentage for your train?

[david1]

default 75%

[Kromaatikse]

There's your problem. It means Railworks assumes that you will drive at only 75% of the speed limit on average - not realistic for a non-stop service.

Also, what service type is your train and the AI set to? If the AI is of a 'higher' service type (e.g. 'Special') it will get priority over the player.

[Kromaatikse]

It looks like both are set to Express Passenger. This usually results in Railworks giving priority to the train arriving at the conflict first - at least as far as it's internal timetable assumes.

both trains are set as expresses, i will try setting the player train to 100%, thanks for that
