Troubleshoot Trains Not Stopping at Your Station

Common Causes

Trains may skip your station due to platform misalignment, missing track connections, or incorrect station setup.

Diagnostic Steps

1. Check platform height—measure against a working station; your platform should align with train cart doors

2. Verify track connection—walk the rails from your station back to the main network; look for gaps or misaligned sections

3. Inspect track type—ensure your rails match the network's rail blocks exactly

4. Test alignment manually—stand where a train should stop and note if it passes through or stops nearby

5. Clear obstructions—remove blocks, entities, or decorations blocking the platform or track

6. Rebuild the platform section—sometimes removing and replacing the last few track blocks fixes routing issues

Prevention Tips

Always test new stations with a passing train before adding decorations. Build platforms slightly recessed from the track edge to avoid collision issues. Use consistent block heights throughout your station area.
