Are there any plans to make a new timetable to incorporate the newly electrified R&C, MTH - CUB and direct Lanark services as per Decembers timetable changes?

Kind Regards

Would need a sim update to put the electrification in first.

It it were a simple matter of adding the wires then that could probably be done in an evening or two but I also need to remodel Newton Jn (again) which will take a bit of time.

What someone can do, if they were so minded, is write the timetable with the EMU classes temporarily coded as electro-diesel which can be reverted when the thing's updated. I've worked out how to get the raw timetable data from NR's CIF open-data feed but it'd need to then be knocked into shape which is a bit of a fiddle I think but easier than starting from scratch.

By Knocked into shape:

  • All goods trains are anonamysed so need TDs added from the WTT pdf.

  • Train lengths need to be established

  • Joins/slits and next working need to be coded

  • Rules added

Motherwell takes ages to edit out from a CIF file - no trains have entry points and each has to be edited to enter the sim as well as have the corresponding line deleted from its individual timetable to prevent errors


When you run CIF data into Motherwell there are a few TIPLOC issues

2Rxx/2Sxx trains between Motherwell via Wishaw have a missing location between Whifflet Sth Jcn & Mossend Nth Jcn

The XML file for these services have the following TIPLOCS in the service path

Up Direction

<scheduleLocation>
<locationID>WHIFLTS</locationID>
<departureTime>20:58:00</departureTime>
<passingTime>true</passingTime>

<departureTime>21:00:30</departureTime>
<passingTime>true</passingTime>
</scheduleLocation>

</scheduleLocation>[/color]
<scheduleLocation>
<locationID>WHIFLTS</locationID>
<departureTime>01:15:00</departureTime>
<passingTime>true</passingTime>
</scheduleLocation>

In the case of the down freight path both MOSEDGL & MOSENXT are missing the service ends at Mossend Nth Jcn and restarts at Whifflet Sth Jcn - I would assume that MOSENXT should be the next location to Whifflet Sth Jcn

Hope this helps a little

I've never had that problem and am happy (within reason) to provide the starter for 10 file.

Provided they don't have to be "Key locations" then adding them should be simplicity itself, provided I know where they should be. Key locations and ARS is more problematic, particularly in the Mossend area.

Peter thanks for the reply, I've attached a copy of an imported timetable created from xml for yesterday, as soon as you open a service entering at Gretna for example - you see that you get a headcode followed by a blank entry point with no time, then in the service list you see the Gretna Jcn entry time.

While on the subject of Gretna is there a way of regulating the trains that use Quintinshill down loop ? as they all enter at Gretna and run straight through without calling there - often to the detriment of a faster service behind. I know technically Quintinshill is within Carlisle but does cause a nightmare for regulating

Can we not have an historic timetable for Motherwell and Carstairs. Plenty of scope for loco-hauled trains from the south splitting at Carstairs. I know the signalling would have been mechanical in years gone by but such a timetable would be much more interesting and challenging.

It was posted as an example for Peter to illustrate problems when importing from current CIF files - never really intended it to be playable - however if someone wants to make it playable, then thats fine by me. Time constraints and other projects prevent me from taking this any further in the forseeable future

However heres a little something I've been working on over the last year if you fancy a change
[attachment=3169]Motherwell25thMarch2014v2.4.8.wtt[/attachment]

Supplied as is, I am unable to offer any support on this timetable as it is not an 'official' release

Ray,

I am fairly well on with such a timetable (c.1984), but it needs a lot of work on the freight side due to sim changes around Motherwell. As such I decided to park it for a few months. I'd also expect to do a 1993 matching the COW/CSCOT that I have further north.
At present I'm doing a Kings Cross 1964 (but using current operations due to lack of track!)

Meld's TT is quite playable.

On your own you HAVE to have ARS on.

One or two little problems, (Mainly with trains booked to stop at loops arbitrarily deciding to go on strike on the main line at the loop entrance......) but not insurmountable!

You have to keep your wits about you otherwise cheeky little 6 headcodes sneak in front of the expresses if you aren't careful............

A most enjoyable TT - 9/10!!

Unfortunately we have as yet not been able to get hold of the diagrams, I think Paisley 2015 has stalled for that reason (I must check).

Thanks NNR - as you can see by the version number there have been lots of niggles along the way, looked in my old ttdev folder and theres 65 copies of this TT during its development :doh

I would say the TT is about 85% polished off - there may be one or two little niggles towards the end.

Peter - I know Barry has the EMU diagrams for Paisley 2015 its the DMU's I cant get hold of (if anyone could supply a set before the upcoming timetable change it would be appreciated) and maybe one day I'll produce a Scotland 2015 set of timetables.

That would be helpful - have a couple of things to do before I start the further McSim updates.

Thanks

I'm not sure what the point of you linking to that is?

Timetable is the easy bit, it's the unit diagrams that are more tricky.

Sorry I thought you thought it was unit diagrams.

John has no issues with getting the timetable data, it's just the unit diagrams we struggle with.
