How to debug a trainsystem?

[Nebrot2k]

Hi,

i changed my rail design today to a two rail system, one for each direction.
Now my train start to tell me "can´t reach destination". When i drive manual i can reach it without a problem.
I assume i have a bug in my signals somewhere but i am not able to figure out where.

So i wanted to ask the community: how do you debug such a situation? Is there any good mod out there that can help?

Thanks....

Drive manually and follow the route stopping at every signal. Usually your problem is, because the signals are not put on the right side of the track, so look at that, too.

Moved from General to Gameplay Help.
General is not Q&A.

And for debugging I hover over the rails and follow the arrows, until I find the wrong signal...

Thanks for moving

I found the issue: after changing my rail layout the station was not really connected to the rails anymore.

One suggestion would be: like the "no power" signs we could maybe also need a "not connected to rails" sign over stations / signals / chain signals.

If you hover over a train station it should show arrows and indicators of where the train and carriages will stop, if you don't get that then it's not connected to the rail =)
