Bukowno station

[Lorgroth]

For some reason, the AI ALWAYS gives me a red light, for a long period of time, with no other trains in sight.

If the dispatcher was a real person, i would it harassment...

wrong station

[SugaCane]

There is a very long block section without any other block signals. There is only the entry and exit signal there. Thats why you stand there sometimes for a longer time. Thats not like the CMK where there are every ~1,3km a Blocksignal.

As already SugarCane said, route from Sławków(Katowice) to Sedziszów is very different, because the maximal speed is lower and also there aren't any autoblock signals. When the route doesn't have ABS (autoblock signal), only one train can be between two stations in one direction. Due to really long sections between some stations (up to 10 kilometres), you have to wait a little bit before the train from the section in front of you leaves the section (arrive to next station).

Unforunately, due to this, capacity of this route is very low. Once some train got a little delay, you can expect that every train in same direction get a little delay too, if the timetable is really "tight".

PS: Stations at route to Sedziszów aren't available to dispatch, the whole route is dispatched by BOT (computers), except Dabrowa Gornicza Wschodnia and Dorota.

Just wait for the station to be player controlled. Left track all day lol

Regardless of the autoblocks, Bukowno is making weird decisions about whom to send first. It can send 2 cargo in front of waiting passenger trains. So yes, autoblock _might_ be the reason, but there is definitely some other issue with this AI Disp.

Thank you all for the replies. It all makes sense now.
