I think I've found a bug,. When a regional train is late to it's platform on it's second or subsequent visit, it doesn't get acknowledged as having arrived at the platform. Things got sideways from there. There will be a video coming out, I've recorded it but haven't edited it right now, and I've brought this up in the Discord server, so I will wait for an answer officially.
@@JamieTheEpicz It turned out not to be a bug, but a "nut loose between keyboard and chair" issue. The issue I was issuing the shunting commands as the trains approached the station at the end of the first leg. This would make the trains not recognise the platform and sail straight through. It can be fixed, but it's a process. I'll do my own video
I think the game lost its balance since the shunting popt up. I get loads of greens. But the regional trains are very difficult to manage. To difficult I think. And most maps aren't build for shunting. To little space for the yards. Hope there are coming better maps where there is room for shunting yards. Thanks for the vid.
Yes I do agree! They are certainly a challenge and the space on most maps isn't too well suited. I do believe that shunting has been added to make it harder to automate and have replaced coach yards for the earlier stages of the game (as previously they made it very easy to automate both xp types). So I think the best way to overcome this (I'm not saying it's easy), is to build them where you can, don't worry about how permanent they are, and when you unlock the coach yards, replace shunting with them since coach yards only take up 1 tile; they are a shunting yard in 1 tile.
I actually don't use the shunting method, like you said, unless you have the room its difficult to manage. I like the using the coach yard method , its a much easier method and less space taking up. Once you have the train setup and running. Its more of a set it and forget it. Much better than shunting. you just got to have the coach yard at the station where the regional train break between legs.
The video plays back a little cloudy, not to clear at all.
ok I was able to clear it up

That's interesting to hear, I'll have a little experimentation with it once I get a chance, thanks for the heads up!
