[SOLVED] Horse Carriage (Passenger) can't get to bus station

[Ganymed]

Marked as SOLVED. Solution: Horse carriages are articulated vehicles and as such require a roadside bus stop.

So, I remember having played a bit of OTTD in the past, then after a long time realized I needed it again. I hastily threw in some NewGRFs to be able to play pre-1900 stuff and build my company up from the ground. I set up a train connection between two industries with an old-ass train and that works. Then I built a road between two towns, built two stations and a depot, bought a horse carriage and it can't find the station.

So this seems to be a mod issue. Could someone help me out on what to do here? Screenshot attached to show that the road is complete and the station is facing the road. Am I missing NewGRF stuff? Do they conflict or something? I don't even know which of them has the horse vehicles for testing. I just slapped them on based on suggestions I found with a quick search.

The horse carriages cannot go to terminal stations. You need to use drive-through stations for them as for all articulated road vehicles.

The error message could need improvement.

Thanks a lot, fella. Yes, I had no clue and the error message really just implies that the path is the problem. Are there other articulated vehicles apart from horse carriages? Longer buses or something?

There are several grfs with articulated vehicles. The eGRVTS2, which includes the horse carriages, introduces articulated trucks and buses around 1950. I always build truck stations this way, with one or two loading areas depending on the traffic:

HEQS and RoadHog does have some articulated too,

And most multi-carriage trams.
