Just dragging this back, but I seem to have hit an odd problem with the seeding train.

First time round ('easy' mode but with problems, bad weather and 2 scenarios set!) I mistakenly told the seed loco to call back in 15 minutes. It never called. I was unsure whether this might affect the TT as the train hadn't entered, so I tried again with the same settings as above. The same problem occured despite allowing the loco to proceed immediately.

Will this affect the running of the TT?

Also, 2Z99W and 0Z99 simply refuse to join following the run around manoeuvre at Kings Norton. Any ideas?

As for the seed loco, John(Postal) would be better explaining that one as that was the work he did for this timetable.

Also of note regarding the TT is that it has always been the same loco (0L69F1 - Monday). Finally, this has been with the latest TT version (7.0d).

Never seen the seed not entering. It takes a short while after the phone call, but it has always entered for me (so far). Which scenarios were invoked in case that has anything to do with it?

The TT will still run. However a lot of trains will be missing (rules that 6??? must enter 0 minutes after 0L69? has entered) and some trains will run that should maybe not appear (rules that 6??? must not run if 0L69? runs).

58050 OFFLINE Local Operations Manager Posts: 1292 Thank you received: 129	As Postal says I have never seen the 'seed' loco not enter either. Also I've never had 0L69F1, it's usually been 0L69F3 or 0L69F4 whenever I've played it.

Finally, this has been with the latest TT version (7.0d).

That is very odd because 0L69F1 should only run 20% of the time and in testing it hit that figure (give or take). Have you closed the sim down completely and then re-loaded or has it been the same run of the program for each of the events? Is the TT for 0L69F1 checked to show 20% probability (in case the TT has become corrupted at some stage)?

I've just run through 10 starts on Easy mode and got:

Mon 2
Tue 3
Wed 1
Thu 1
Fri 3

Right - not sure why it has made a difference, but it turns out I was using an out of date version of Saltley (London meet version probably, although I could have sworn I downloaded and installed the latest version when that was released!), xxx.35 rather than xxx.40. This has allowed the seed train to call and enter as normal - what is odd is that trains entering there have never had a problem before, but this seed train does. Also got the Wednesday train for a change!

This has also fixed the 2Z99 joining issue.

Sorry to get everyone worked up
