Train stops in depot and not leaving anymore

[alhimiq]

Hi,

Every now and then train travels to depot and don't leave it. I have to launch the train myself so that it will move again. Have anybody got the same problem? I noted that this doesn't happen when track is only form one train. As soon as it is connected to another, problems happens.

Can you post the game save file where you're having the problem? The problem could be anything from placement of the depot, train order, signaling or something I'm not thinking of.

Thank you for quick answers. In a matter of fact I have played tycoon for like 15 years..? With signals 7-10 years. It used to be perfect, but for some reason now it is bit strange.

I have attached save game. Please note that I use OPENTTD HARDPACK-0.8.167. GRFs I use also attached. Thank you for your quick replies.

I didn't see any trains stuck in depots in that save. Can have a save where trains are actually stuck and won't leave the depots on their own?

I did, however, saw trains stuck at the refinery station. You are missing exit rails for couple of the platforms, as marked in the screenshot below.

Hi,

Yes, there was UFO, which destroyed lanes. I will soon post this savegame, where trains are stuck. Bear with me a while..

While I was writing this, I got same train "stop in depot" error.

Please find savegame attached. There is only one train route and 3 trains . train "3" is now "stopped" automatically. If you put it "on", it will act normally...

It looks like this problem has been reported by other players of this patch pack in the past. See this post that's also in that thread. This sounds like a workaround to the problem - I don't play with this patch pack, so you'll have to figure the detail out yourself.

If you encounter any further problem with this patch pack, do reply to that patch's thread - you'll likely to get better help there.

Thank you for replies. I have notice that If I leave VACUUM TRAIND GRFs off, I don't get this error.
