Regional Passenger Trains not Visiting City
Symptom
Out-of-town passenger trains are not visiting the city
Cause
Three main causes (more covered in Solutions section below):
Stations not set-up properly
TM:PE [[Vehicle Restrictions] blocking their routes
Modded train tracks used for outside connection
Solutions
The most common cause is incorrectly configured train stations:
Click the passenger train station
On the info panel, make sure it allows outside trains
TM:PE vehicle restrictions can cause problems if incorrectly used:
Make sure you haven't limited the passenger train tracks to cargo trains.
Passenger trains can only enter the map via vanilla rail tracks:
Modded tracks don't trigger the game to create the fake train station at edge of map:
Make sure there are at least 5 segments of vanilla rail tracks at edge of map
The vanilla segments have to be long enough to accommodate the fake train station
From that point onwards, you can use modded train tracks in the rest of your city
Note that cargo trains can still enter and leave the map because they don't require that fake station ;)
There are some other causes:
Make sure you've not used cargo station - they can't accept passenger trains!
If you've restricted vehicle spawning (using mods like AVO or IPT2) ensure the selected vehicles still exist and can spawn
Check your transport budgets, and also your road/rail budgets
Mods like Real Time might alter the frequency of train visits or change the ratio of visits between day and night
