I'm not sure if this has been covered before but this is with regard to a bug at Finsbury Park.

In a saved file I have created, train 2L60 (a class 313) enters from Dalston Kingsland at 09:00. It's booked to terminate at Finsbury Park platform 4 at 09:04 and form 5L60, which is the 09+05 empty stock move to Ferme Park sidings. On arrival at Finsbury Park however the train reports as arriving at the wrong platform, even though it is on Down Slow 1 which has a platform on both sides (4 and 5).

I have uploaded the save which can be downloaded HERE. (FNPK_BUGTEST.SSG)

Definitely seems like a bug, I tried setting the line as SL on both trains and that didn't help.

However I did cure the problem by setting it to use platform 5 instead of 4.

"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer

Platforms 4 and 5 at Finsbury Park are not classified as adjacent platforms. Platforms 3 and 4 are adjacent.

The reality is that trains always open doors to P5.

The bug, such as it is, is that you can set P4 as a valid platform in the timetable though looking at the data P4 is not coded to be validated (see above) as an arrival hence the message.

If the sim ever gets to replicate quad-art days, the train in the platform(s) was often used instead of the subway as a quick way of making a cross-platform change.
