As a result there are over 2000 trains! The basic timetable is still 99% intact but I have added several totally fictional services just to add variety, such as Baldock to Gordon Hill shuttles and extra freight services. Please do not treat these additions seriously as they are workings which would not have happened in reality. It is my first ever attempt at submitting a timetable so am not even sure if the link will work as I am no whizzkid with a computer but I will give it a try.

Hi,

I have finally got around to trying this Tt out. It is rather too much for one person once the rush hour starts but would probly be fine as a multiplay game.

One big issue thougt is with up trains that terminate at WGC platform 1 and then go to WGC 3 or 4 and become up trains.

The timetable reads something like:

WELWYN GARDEN CITY PL1
WELWYN REVERSING SIDINGS
WELWYN GARDEN CITY 3 (or 4).

The middle location should be:

WELWYN GARDEN CITY NORTH REVERSE SIDING

WELWYN REVERSING SIDING is on the up side of WGC pl1 and so the shunt cannot be made form ther.

Apologies if I have not got the exact TT details, buit I am posting form work and don't have the TT to hand.

I don't really see the problem - just route ifrom P1 to the Siding, then from the Reversing Siding to P3 or P4. I've just checked and Simsig accepts the routes without question.

Danny252 is correct. Route is either;


Signal 608 -> Signal 598 -> 'grey exit triangle'
or
Signal 608 -> Shunt Signal 170 -> Shunt Signal 168 -> Signal 598 -> 'grey exit triangle'

then once the train is there wait until booked departure time then you can set the route as

Shunt Signal 165 -> Shunt Signal 167 -> Shunt Signal 171 -> Signal 603 (Platform 4) or Signal 605 (Platform 3)

as timetabled.


It is however interesting to note that it seems possible to set Shunt Signal 165 -> Shunt Signal 171, I know about Preset Shunts but I didn't think it worked from Shunt Signal to Shunt Signal?

Preset shunts does only work when routing from main to main signal, except when the author of the sim has programmed an exception.

You put a '?' behind your last sentence. That's why I answered.

Ah, right. I put the '?' there because I didn't think it should be possible Shunt Signal to Shunt Signal. I shall may edit that part of my original post later to make my doubts clearer.

Thanks.

Sounds more like a 'long route' (i.e. setting two or more routes at once) - the principle of preceding shunts only really applies to a route from a main aspect where, by definition of the latter, any intervening shunt signals must be cleared first. Obviously that requirement doesn't apply to routes from shunt signals, though there could well be some exceptions for various operational reasons I suppose.
