Got a regulating issue here which is 1L09 Liverpool Lime Street to Norwich running 64 minutes early currently on the Up Fast having just arrived from Grantham with 1L08 running 3 minutes early currently on the Up Slow, now obviously I could hold 1L09 outside Peterborough station on the Up Slow but I don't think that would be practical especially with passengers on board or blocking a line to keep the train to time so what should I ought to do?

Do I do nothing and let it run though the Peterborough area unchecked, possibily leading to blocking Platform 5 for a hour?
Just hold it outside Peterborough station for a hour to wait time?
Run 1L09 into Platform 5, cancel the remaining working and let 1L08 couple to it and run the coupled trains as 1L08?

What would you guys do?

To follow on from this query, as I'm running this TT at the moment, is there a way to edit the entry time so that 1L09 appears at a more reasonable time, and thus solve the awkward regulating problem?

I did that bit and changed the entry time, but then couldn't remember how to put it in order in the TT list. In the end I played dirty and sent 1L09 non-stop through Peterborough. (Cue angry letters from passengers).

Steamer OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 545 Thank you received: 155	It doesn't matter what order the trains are in the list- they'll always enter at the entry time (unless delayed).

delticfan OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 304 Thank you received: 35	Thanks again Steamer, (and 'doh!' again). So it should behave itself next time I run the TT.

Steamer OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 545 Thank you received: 155	Yes, provided you've saved the TT (MNU>Timetable>Save As). You may need to alter the times at subsequent locations as well, dpending on the exact nature of the problem.
