I had wondered why it seemed necessary to assign a special description to any train that has to reverse at Harrow siding while it is in the siding, e.g., J201-7 terminates at Harrow & Wealdstone (emptying its passengers), becoming K201-8 to enter the siding as ECS since Class 5 descriptions aren't used for LU ECS, then changes to K201-9 once it's out of the siding. Now I understand - SimSig must only let in the empty versions of these trains by their TDs

(Clive:)
No, SimSig is not examining the TDs.

These changes happen because that's what the real Working Timetable does. The sources I have list these trains with a 7 character TD instead of the usual 4 characters. So these are 2J01201, 5K01201, and 2K01201 respectively. The real displays show J201 or K201, so that's what I used. The LU WTTs would talk about "train 201 run 5", with the runs changing when the train reverses direction.

Where do they get their 7, 8 and 9 suffixes in SimSig? Is that also in the real WTT?

If it's green or it wriggles, it's biology.
If it's smelly or explosive, it's chemistry.
If it doesn't work, it's because there's no route between selected signals.

No. As the manual said, I added the suffices myself, ignoring the letter. Think of them as "part run" numbers (if I had access to the actual run numbers I could do better).
