"Can't Reach Station" - Game not paused, track complete
As the title says. I've searched this issue and only see problems where the player hadn't fully connected their track, or had the game on pause.

It's regular track with diesel trains, and I've made certain that it's fully connected. My game is not paused. This has happened once or twice and is seemingly random. Retiring/replacing the train does not solve the issue.

This is my sad face D:

Based on that, I can't see why it wouldn't work. Sometimes, the problem can occur if you have seperate networks, and new trains can get stuck on the 'other side'. Can you post a screenshot?

i have in this situation literally gone down the track piece by piece to confirm, occasionally i will find a single connection that is not connecting but simply laying on top of the track... picture going down the line in a hand cart! also double double check your station connection, and go ahead at risk of spending more $ and lay the track on top of the already existing track. if it matches you should see no cost, if it costs you something i can tell you the track isnt complete.... imho

Can anyone point me to where you upload images to this thread? I could faff around with uploading them elsewhere and inserting an url but is there a simpler way?

I can confirm the track is 100% connected. it's one fairly short line between 2 stations with only one active company at the beginning of a campaign scenario (I'm reluctant to simply quit and re-launch the scenario beause of the re-randomising of the buildings).

Thanks for the replies so far :)

You can either take an official screenshot and upload it that way. If you have a regular screenshot (using Snipping tool or something), then you can upload it as artwork.

I just had the same issue and it took me a while to figure out. Once I rotated the screen to look at another perspective, I found the originating depot to be just off of the track I had made. Looking at the depot from the back, it looked like it was connected but from the front it showed it was connected to anything.

Very late reply to this, but just in case it may help someone else.. it's also possible you only have track laying rights in certain territory. You'll have to buy train rights for that territory in your company view.
