Had a 3PXX code call to query the route onto the goods earlier when it's booked to the GL for reversing at the West End?
Is this standard/should I interpret the GL to mean Relief?

Basically... What it is driver... We uh....

I suspect that the train hasn't been set up to accept goods lines. Could you provide information on the TT that you are using.

Thanks
Craig

Yeah it was SwinDid 13/02/2020, 3P76, I've just had a look and that is indeed the case, none of the 3PXX are set to accept routes onto goods lines, so will need to be done on the base TT.

EDIT: Same with the 5PXX. Is it the class of train rather than the individual Path/Train?

In the meantime, you could set these train to use freight lines yourself by selecting the train in the Train List/Time table Options/Table Editor/Train Characteristics and tick the ‘Can Use freight lines’ box in the bottom left-hand corner.

Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

The defaults (which the TT may have altered) are explained here:
https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:ttuse:class_of_service

A 5xxx is classed as an 'ECS' and so should take goods lines always.
A 3xxx will depend on the train type, as an SP DMU running as 3xxx WILL NOT take goods lines (not sure why that choice was made).
