How to UNSTUCK traffic from AI stations.

[Záhorácká]

 

Hello. So I've been experimenting, and three times I've managed to free up the traffic situation with stacked trains. First at Gornicza and then also at Lazy Lc and Psary.
Ai works on commands over the phone. This means that if the player in front of it doesn't clear the track by phone then that train won't be send by Ai. It asks a second time and if player dont answer again then it doesn't ask anymore and the trains stand still.

Therefore, if you see on the train board that trains are standing after the departure time, you need to send a message over the phone Route train #XXXX to track #XX is free. It is important to add the line number.
This can also be used to correct a blocked interlock. The AI will ask for it, it just needs to be accepted by the PZK at the counter. 

It should then start asking itself if so-and-so is free for so-and-so train. In Gornicza (Zabkowice release) it worked, in Lazy Lc (Lazy) it worked and also in Psaro (Starzyny). I also advised a Czech fellow when I was driving and Katowice also sent me.

 If it doesn't work then it's obvious that you've asked for a train that is behind another train on the same track. You need to find out which train is first behind the signal (According to the meters in the table on the left)

Please let me now if this worked for you and when it doesnt. Thanks 🙂

Someone tried derailing the trains today....

Hehe, that was me. But you can/should only use this measure if two trains are in the same block (usually facing another because someone screwed up badly).

The method of OP works very well. You can even use it in Katowice Zawodzie to pull players in ahead of other (/AI) trains. 😁

Interesting. Perhaps @uetam could tell us more, if this works really like described. Sounds prety logic. // forgive the ping \o/

Is there (or has anyone had luck) a way to trigger Lazy LA to release trains from tracks F111 and F109, when in LC? Freight still tends to get stuck there and AI won't budge

The problem is if someone used a substitute signal for S3 or S7 earlier so there is impossible in such a case to confirm train arrival there and any further trains will not enter the station via tracks 3 and 7. Just my theory. It happened to me today as well.

There is a way to handle this: Use the "dKo" button before giving out the replacement signal. But if you find the post already in this state, it is too late.
You can only operate "Ko" if the signal was cleared, fell back to danger and the train as passed a contact behind the entry signal. The contact makes the white light appear next to "Ko". If you give out replacement signal or (not implented yet) a written order, you have to operate "dKo", to tell the contact that there is a train approaching. (At least this is how I know the principle from Germany). After operation of "dKo" the white light next to "Ko" will eventually light up and you can confirm arrival as usual.
