I'm having a problem apparently many people have experienced, but none of their solutions are working for me, so I'm posting the question anew.
The issue: external connections do not spawn passenger trains. They will spawn cargo trains if I allow road immigration (which this city is not designed to handle), but will not spawn passenger trains at all.
The current setup is this: one line, drawn from an outside connection added manually thanks to the Unlimited Outside Connections mod, ending in this station's M1.M module (which has a single pair of rail tracks, though it has three underground metro platforms).
Things I've tried:
It's also worth noting that before I started work on this city, I did a proof-of-concept test and did get passenger trains through effectively an identical setup. The one difference is that it was on a different version of the map.
I am quite at my wit's end about what to do here; I've spent quite a few hours setting up this city around a rail-only design, and cannot seem to get it to work at all. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Things I've tried:
- Adding a vanilla station
- Adding a loop from the disconnected end of the station back around
- Adding a connection from the disconnected end of the station to another edge of the map
- Testing for broken connections with an internal passenger line (the line runs 100% fine)
- Turning off the Optimised Outside Connections mod
- Turning off the Real Time mod
- Using the AdvancedOutsideConnection mod's interface to confirm that yes, these are valid external connections with passenger values assigned
- Visually confirming that there is in fact the expected 'fake passenger station' at the edge of the map
- Ensuring that yes, 'Allow Intercity Trains' is checked on the station (in fact, I cannot uncheck it, on this or on a vanilla station I added to test)
- Testing to make sure other outside connections work
- I can't seem to add my own external road connections, but connections with the original highway do work
- If that's hooked up and people can immigrate, cargo trains do get generated on the external rail line - it's only passenger trains that fail
- Connecting to the original rail connection out (i.e. not the one I added using Unlimited Outside Connections), which works no better than the manually added one
