Hello, I am writing a Bristol timetable (completed it actually) but I have a problem at Avonmouth. I have a train which needs to terminate at Platform 1 from the Bristol direction before heading at out to St Andrews Road under a different headcode, before reversing and heading back in to Avonmouth, this time in Platform 2. The problem I have is that the train will not accept the route in to Platform 1, the driver phones up to say that an incorrect route is set and I have to tell it to bypass the timetable and then manually change its timetable to the next train it needs to work, is there any way to make it accept the route in to Platform 1 without manual intervention. Hope that is clear, thanks in advance.

I assume that you are talking about modern mode, in which case why not just terminate the train in Platform 2, which is reversible from the Bristol end, this will then save a shunt.

There is a train coming the other way at same time which needs to loop this train, it only happens one time in the timetable. Yes, it is the modern mode.

Conner, I had a problem with this in a 2009 TT I wrote. I put the incoming train from Bristol into the "Severn Beach" platform, before making an ECS to St Andrews Road and back to get it into the "Bristol" bound platform for its next working. IIRC it was 2K03.

Yeh, exactly the same thing that I have done but the train from Bristol refuses to take the route in to the Severn Beach platform, phoning up to say it is the wrong route.

TT the train (eg as 2A01) from Clifton Down via Avonmouth to St Andrews Road, N: 5A01. Then TT 5A01 St Andrews Rd to Avonmouth, N:2A02. TT 2A02 Avonmouth towards Clifton Dn. 2A01 can have dwell times at Avonmouth as required. Although Avonmouth to St Andrews Rd might be ECS, the simulation is happy with the above, 5A01 will face Dn on its formation from 2A01. I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. Log in to reply |
