Evening all,

Whilst participating in the 1980's game I had a Track Circuit failue after the passage of 8T361 0711 Beighton-Barrow Hill, over the Level Crossing @ Renishaw Slitting Mill. However the signal in rear of the "tcf" is remaining at Yellow (signal 270). After setting the route from signal 252 towards Barrow Hill, 270 jumped up to a double yellow. A further test was to then put the road back on 252 signal, and even with the track circuit clearly showing occupied the route died out, with out any timeout, very strange indeed, any thoughts?

Were you a client in a hosted game?

There are screen refresh issues between Cerver -> Client and vice versa IIRC.

I suspect in that case it's just the known screen refresh bug.

It turns out it was Mark, as I had 6E57 in Barrow Hill & the Headcode was also back at Chesterfield, and numerous TC's were occupied across the sim, when clearly no train was present. Many thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

If you are connected via wireless, try again with a shorter distance between your router and PC. That should solve the problem.
