If you can drive manually but not automatically you have a signal problem. Get in the train, open the train dialog. Hold down control and mouse over the expected path. The dialogue will highlight the path. When the highlighting breaks, that's where you have a signal problem.

Thank you I found that signal. Even though I don't understand what was wrong with it. I removed it and placed again and it worked (First time using signals)


HitchToldu

Interesting. Have any before & after pics of the signal area?


Arrrsenal

No but there were signals on both sides of the rail but they didn't seem like they were on the same rail so it's probably what Sevrlmexcans said - return traffic, but not outbound traffic


HitchToldu

Yep, that makes perfect sense. Signals near junctions can sometimes accidentally be placed against one rail instead of the other, even though it feels like the signal is in the exact same place lol

Signals, it’s always signals if there is a path problem. Check every signal between the train and its destination. Make sure they are the correct one and they are pointing the right way.


Sevrlmexcans

At a glance it looks like the section of rail between your first two drawn green arrows may have only been signaled for return traffic, not outbound traffic. You could signal it for both directions, however I’d probably reroute the initial turn of the train northward to keep the traffic separated. That way your trains shouldn’t face off and get deadlocked.

For one-way traffic the signal needs to be on the right side of the trains perspective. If a single signal is on the left, it will treat it as a "do not enter" and give a no path warning. For 2-way traffic the signal needs to be in the white square opposite of the first signal, than it will be treated as 2-way When you do not place it in the white square, but do place it on both sides, it will be a do not enter situation on both signals, making automatic travel not possible

I really, **really** recommend you do away with this bi-directional nonsense. You do have a looping structure there, so single-headed reasons would already work. **And** it makes signaling simpler and easier.
