Train waiting at yellow signal stating it's red

At a guess the train is actually stopped beyond the yellow signal so the next is actually the Red one. Trains that stop at stations within sighting distance of the next signal will not move if it is Red.

There was an example on Westbury where the signal location is set wrong in the data but looks right on the screen.

Looking at the stopping point for Sandwell & Dudley it appears to be the same case.

The initial information in the screenshot and your description seem somewhat contradictory. The F2 list clearly states the train is waiting for right-away which indicates the train doesn't think its at a red signal at all. If it did, I would expect it to say "Stopped at red signal".

The F2 list will always show 'waiting for right away' when stopped at a platform with a red signal (assuming it has finished 'loading').

This is further clarified by the fact when you subsequently told it to pass signal at red, it went past 480 without stopping. This indicates when you gave that order, the signal directly in front of 1F42 wasn't red and the train ran up to and then passed the first red signal it got which was signal 480.

Ive not got access to the sim so I cannot tell, was the save game from the time of the screenshot or before this happened? If it's at the time of the screenshot, the save is too late as the event has already happened. What would be more useful is a save just prior to the issue. If you have such a save (perhaps an autosave) try running from that point, concentrating just on the affected area, and see what happens second time around. Does it do it again? If its a bug, it should and in that case, post the save just prior to the issue instead.

Now THAT is wrong. Looks like the auto signal is missing a TC. Turn on TC breaks using display options. Is it the overlap for that signal?

The train phoned up stating it was at a red signal whilst on the train list it shows as waiting for right away. I thought that if a train was waiting at a station to leave but the signal isn't clear the train list would say 'waiting for right away'? I didn't have a save before but occupying the track circuit using F11 gives the same result. The train phones up at Smethwick Galton Bridge station claiming to be waiting at signal 480 which means signal 478 could be before SGB station?
