I cannot complete the activity "Afternoon 446 Southwick Branch" because of a massive traffic jam starting in Sheperds Gate all the way to Oxford Cross. This is the first major bug I found in this route, although I experienced similar stuff in other routes.

Is it due to a yellow line train being stuck in platform 3? Because I have this issue on the week 3.16 activity aswell with train 507

There is a rare issue, mostly happening when you speed up time, where a yellow line train overshoots the platform as Oxford Cross and gets stuck. In case this happens twice and both platforms will be blocked, preventing trains from entering Oxford Cross and causing a traffic jam.

It seems to happen at somepoint every time I do the week activity.

I did indeed speed up the time at Southwick depot to complete the activity as soon as possible. I too was thinking that maybe that could cause the issue. Today I'm gonna try again without speeding up and see if it happens.

EDIT - I finished the activity after not using the speed up feature. I guess I'll try to avoid it from now on.

Now I'm having the exact same issue in the activity "Afternoon 501" without using the speed up function at all. There's another traffic jam in the way to Oxford Cross, with two trains stopped on the Yellow line platforms in the wrong position (both overshot the signals).

Now I've attempted the scenario again and could reach slighlty further than before, but still, a train always overshoots the Yellow line platforms (this time the same one I departed from at the beginning) so I couldn't reach Oxford Cross.

I've edited the title thread as the issue never really was on the Soutwick branch, I just first discovered it playing a scenario in that particular line.
