I've recently started a new Carlisle 2017 Tyne Valley Diverts tt and all that's happened in the first 2 hours (midnight start) is one phone call from a level crossing user.

Will I get any trains or is this timetable now unplayable through the Loader?

When does the F4 window say the first train is due?

Nothing is shown in the F4 timetables or any other tabs for that matter Could I have set the wrong era?

I've now abandoned it after nearly 4 hours (sim time at fast speed)

I'm going to try a different timetable to see what happens.

If nothing is showing then it looks as if you have started the run without a TT. This can happen if you select a TT, click Next then go back. The loader does not retain the TT you originally selected; instead it reverts to no timetable selected. If you then click Next again, everything after that step is loading the sim with no TT selected. A saved game would indicate whether the sim had loaded with or without TT.

Yep. That's what I did. Thanks for letting me know. I'll go back and start again.

Do you still need a saved game?

No need for a save, as you confirmed Postals theory as to what happened.

Wouldn’t help much, would just be the same as starting the sim without a timetable

Thought as much but offered anyway.

Just started a new game (without back-tracking) and all is Ok

You can back-track - you just need to remember to reselect the TT (and if necessary seed time).
