What is the name of the service?

Have you loaded a save game? If so, avoid that it causes red signals that never turn green again.

many thanks, i will try without loading asaved game and see what happens.

Had the same problem with service 1W30 London Victoria to Brighton in the Class 387, stuck at a red signal 3 miles from Brighton. In 2D map view I saw a fair amount of trains stuck at a red signal. The furthest most one at Preston Park with a green signal and not moving. Holding up the whole lot.
Did the same service a second time, taking care not to run on yellow signals and using the TAB key to open and close doors. Worked for me then :)

I had the same problem, ran a second time without saving got to Brighton, just as the results screen came up had an unreal engine crash... infuriating to say the least.

I suffered the same fate, after the load of a saved game, a service was terminated by 'passing red signal'! In another case, instead, all AI services stopped and - as seen in Boston route - no further advance was possible. It's funny the number and persistence of these bugs, I admit.

I have the crashing upon arrival in Brighton as well. It gets annoying since I take the Gatwick Express every time I fly into London

Happened to me too, not impressed.

I had the exact same problem stopped at Red 3 miles outside Brighton with Reds showing throughout the remainder of the route on the map and unable to complete the scenario, a bit annoying considering how far and long you have to travel to get to Brighton from LV. I saw on another forum that it happens on other routes aswell and one way to avoid it is to run the train late to that specific signal.

You might have thought the devs would have tested the first full run on 'the journey'. A new low for DTG.

I forgot to mention in my other report that this happened to me too. After trying twice I gave up on this one. Infuriating to say the least!

I was finally able to pass this one by the following actions (rather silly, funny, and sad all at the same time - definitely a bug):

Set my train's brake at the red signal and jumped out. Preceded to RUN down the entire length of track, passing the three or so trains stopped at their respective red light signals. Found the culprit train at the station, sitting at the green signal with no intention of moving.

Jumped aboard but left the train cab door OPEN. The game wont give you direct control from the engineer's seat (there's a female driver taking up the space) BUT you can still manage the instrument panel like normal.

So I set the master, direction, and put it into drive. The train started moving and - in true John McClane fashion - I jumped out. The train went about its merry way into infinity and the others then followed as their signals had gone green.

Ran back to my loco (take care not to get hit by the inbound trains), took it into drive, and made it all the way to the end without any further issue.

Shouldn't be like this but it is.

a nice solution , i will try that.

[Silent War]

With 1400+ activites/scenarios I probably not inclined to jump through hoops to complete it. Once they patch the bug, then I'll give it a go.

[Meme Machine]

I'm getting the same bug at London padd. Couldn't get out of the station must be a bug affecting the game across the board at the moment.

I followed CommandDork's solution and went for a run along the track and found that it was a train stuck on green at Preston Park station (1.5 miles outside Brighton). Jumped on the train got it moving and then jumped off and ran back to my train (the things a train driver has to do :p). Managed to finish the scenario and no crash upon opening the doors at Brighton either. Thanks to CommandDork for sharing a solution to this annoying bug!
