I gave North London Line a try recently and noticed a number of trains ended up being duplicated?!! I had turned Automatic Code Insertion on so I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I was coping just fine with a score somewhere between 90-100% but then everything went terribly "Pete Tong" and my score began rapidly dropping. I can't think of anything I did wrong unless I really shouldn't have turned ACI on?

Any ideas chaps?

What timetable where you using and any ideas which trains were duplicated, even if it's just a hint, eg LUL trains, or Gospel Oak services, freights etc..

Sorry probably should have included this in my original post. Also probably should have posted this in Simulations instead of Timetables.

It was the Winter 2003 timetable which was automatically included with the download/install, and I'm pretty sure it was freight trains that were being duplicated, possibly Class 4s or Class 6s.

Furthermore I have now remember a further problem in that a 5Z trains entered the area to head to Stratford Low Level, they arrived there I routed the first one as booked onto the opposite line to 'change ends' and enter the other platform as I believe it is booked to do then another 5Z arrives to stop on the arrival platform. These two trains then divide to from their 6-car formation into 3-car formations but this then blocks up another 'Class 5'(?) train that arrives later from the Hackney Wick area direction?!! (instead of arriving from the North Woolwich direction)

I suspect it's a timetable error so popped into Timetables.

If it is and someone wants to fix it we can upload it to the timetable area- it'll need fixed anyway for when NLL is redone.

Just had a quick ganders at the timetable itself and I believe 4L64 (or one of the 4L's) enters from two different areas within a few minutes or so of each other between 4-5am. It's not just those two there were a number of others that ended up causing havoc for me. Perhaps someone may have made a minor mistake and forgot to add the -1 or -2 to the end of the headcode (i.e: 4L64-1 and 4l64-2)?!!

Doesn't matter if they did forget, we all make mistakes!

Right, relevant rules have now been added as have some next workings on the ECS moves for the Gospel Oak servcies. I've alos sorted out the ECS at Straford Low Level as there were 2 sets of ECS forming thae same train....

I've uploaded it to the TT section of the downloads area, just waiting for Peter to OK it.

Done; somewhere I was given to understand that this was the default timetable but there is Winter 2003 timetable in the user bit already; does that need to come off; had someone already fixed it!!

Either way if it's a duplicate one will need to come off.

Couple more I found were a freight that terminates around the old/new kew jn area and blocks following freights from accessing the junction unless you remove it, also there is a freight in the Kensal Green area 0V## that after it performs its shunt no matter which route is offered it shows as being offered a wrong wroute.
