Forgot Stafford was still on the downloads so just loaded it as it's another area I know well. Running quite well so far but of course it looks and feels a bit different with not so many 'bells and whistles' as the newer sims. (Not a complaint, merely an observation). Keeps you on your toes due to no ARS and the sequence of running lines needs thinking about so as not to incorrectly route trains at junctions. Certainly a challenge! Brill!
Is there a way to 'hide' entered trains on the TT as it can get confusing if you're trying to check, for instance, a later service formed from an ECS arrival.

Unfortunately there is not, however if you open F4 Timetable List and go to the Timetables tab then click on any train (one click only) you can type in the headcode of the train you wish to look up and it can take you to that train's entry in the list for you to double-click on it and view the timetable.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, Stafford is going great, once you get used to the junctions. Just noticed that there's no Platform 2 shown at Stafford itself. When I used the station years ago I can't recall if it was a through or a bay platform? Suggestions welcome.

I think what is now Platform 1 was Platform 2 and there was a barely used bay platform at the south end which was Platform 1. It's not shown on the sim and I haven't been through Stafford for a while to check if it's still there or connected.

It was a bay platform used I believe by trains (prior Beeching) from/to Shrewsbury.

Thanks for that guys, haven't been there for ages myself and just wondered when it wasn't on the sim. Cheers, Mal.

Really liking Stafford now I've got the track plan sussed. Edited the timetable so as to get loads of traffic. Got to about 9am and it's nice and busy! Enjoying it just as much as Cambridge and Pboro. Thanks again to all involved.
