Not to sure if this has been mentioned or not, but on the timetable I have started at 04:45 but 4M33 - 23:15 Ripple Lane FLT - Barton Dock Road is duplicated so you have 2 trains with the same head code running behind each other as you will see I the included screenshots

Doh!!! Totally my fault, tried to be a little too quick with the decisions and forgot to set them up to the services. TT v 1.1.3 will be available later today.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank MarkC for the work on the decisions used in this series of timetables, as well as fixing them for v 1.1.3

I'm either confused or lost in the world of Manchester Sims!!..
I'm sure there was a post regarding the GBRf Biomass Trains relating to Manchester East or North, regarding missing from the timetable? If I'm right in speaking they use the Chat Moss overnight to/from Liverpool/Drax until services start where Cl4s go to Liverpool via Manc Vic and Chat Moss and 6s go to Stockport via Warrington/Acton Bridge/Northwich then to Manchester East ect. So I guess the Biomass timetables are missing from Piccadilly from Man Vic, Ordsall Lane Jn to Chat Moss.. I posted a link below I know its not 2015 instead today of 2018 but I'm sure they went via Manchester Vic/Picc Sims during the early hours in 2015 unless it was changed?? If you know more let me know as I'm really confused.

All the Biomass are there - the bulk in the day ran via Vitriol Works Baguley Fold, Guide Bridge, Heaton Norris, Stockport & Northenden Jcn in the supplied data.

I think the overnight running via Piccadilly would be when planned overnight engineering takes place. Unfortuntely on the week the data was acquired theses diverts were off.

That being said if I copme across any data that will allow me to add extra paths in it could appear in a future update

6J34 (10:58 Runcorn Folly Lane (FLHH)-Brindle Heath R.T.S. (FLHH)) and 6M07 (11:09 Scunthorpe Roxby Gullet FH-Brindle Heath R.T.S. (FLHH)) both enter on the Down Salford line from Manchester Victoria around 15:00. Both are booked to occupy the Brindle Heath refuse siding; I probably should only be seeing one or the other.

Looking at 6M07's timetable, it's also scheduled for DCF: E6E07 when it arrives at Brindle Heath, which probably has an extra "E" on the front. (...except it's in the timetable listing, so this will probably actually work, it just looks strange.)

This is on the Manchester Piccadilly 080415 0000 Start TT, marked in the loader as (Version 1.1 build 3).

The E as a prefix is correct. It's due to the train splitting wagons off to fit.

As Karl said above - the 'E' prefix in this case is to denote a stock detach without any loco.

'E' prefixes on UID's are used to signify schedules that are additional to Network Rail data and have been added to the overall data file to prevent having to manually input them into sim after each import during TT construction.

Yes there should be a decision to cover 6M07/6J34 on Picc, it looks like the decisions are only in North at the moment,nut wil have to wait till; next week for a fix on Piccadilly after I get back from the Sydney meet.

Just started a new game under the new v5 loader and Manchester Piccadilly with this bundled timetable.

I have 5H18 sitting at Manchester Piccadilly station (entered 00:20), waiting for 5H16 to join, only 5H16 is not timetabled to enter until 24:12, nearly a full day later.

Probably one of these trains (5H16 or 5H18) needs it's entry-time shifted by 24 hours.

There was a fair bit of work involved in merging the original 3 timetables and validation worked so it slipped through the holes, there should be 2 lots of these trains, the 2 at 0012 & 0020 and a later pair at 2412 & 2420 which have been added with an E suffix on the original UID. Corrected and added to TTver 5.1

5J19 is routed via the Up Bolton at Salford Crescent, which is impossible.
The timetable nevertheless validates.

This confuses ARS, which sets the route into platform 1 and then continues on the Up Bolton from 508 to 502.

I checked the source (CIF extract from Network Rail) and that has UB for two iterations and platform 1 for the third iteration (different run days). So it's a NR timetable planning error - but we'll fix it anyway.

The same thing happens with 3S50/H1219A which is booked to turn at Piccadilly P3 and depart on the East Line.
Instead of taking the via "D" and crossing to the Fast, ARS sets a route to 320 on the East and continues from 324 on the Fast.

2N54/Y52361 ent. 22:03 is misrouted by ARS at Ordsall Lane Junction.

The timetable as loaded has no line information for this step. When validated or loaded by ARS, Path=CL and Line=BL, which seems correct, but ARS routes the train via the Down Chat Moss.

Just noticed that 6E41 (on the panel at the same time) which follows the Chat Moss Line from Eccles to Victoria is shown as routed CL, BL at Ordsall Lane, but ARS correctly routes it CL, CL.

Checked the CIF extract used for the TT and Man Picc FL/3/EL - ARS setting correct routing

Two posts for the price of one here, 2N54 will need a little deeper dive looks more like ARS at fault, but ARS also sets the route from 503 to Salford Crescent P2 which would be correct.

6E41 doesnt help calling the route across Ordsall Lane early, it should be giving priorty to 2N54 (seperate issue though Mantis 31321) However line code amended to CL
