Whilst testing my 1997-98 timetable I've encountered a problem. The train concerned is Immingham No.2 Pilot trip, headcode IMP2-3 which runs from Immingham S.S.(west Recp.) - Killingholme via a reversal at Humber Road Jn at IR.213 signal. Path slected is up to the 'LOS' on the up. Couldn't use location Humber Road Jn9rev) as the path wasn't acceptable, so used Humber Road Jn instead. The problem is that IMP2-3 stopped at IR.207 signal instead of continying as far as the ~LOS' on the Up, therefore clearing IR.213 for the train to go forward down the Killingholme branch via Immingham West Jn. I've altered the timetable data to show Humber Road Jn as a passing point & also changed the default stopping position to 'Far end exact', in the hope that this will resolve the issue. Would anyone out there like to give me any answers on this. I'm using the 1980s mode for this timetable. Many thanks.

I'll look up the path file and tell you the route. It may by imngss -> Humber rd jn -> Humber road jn reverse

You should also add this sort of information to the wiki too for other would be timetable writers

Imm SS->Humber Rd Jn (passing)->IR117(rev)->Humber Rd Jn->Imm W Jn->Killingholme is valid.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Although Andy's suggestion is correct, the problem is that there are 3 MGR services which originate from Immingham SS & go forward to Immingham Bulk Terminal for loading. The trains comprise of a Cl.56+36 Merry Go Round wagons which gives the train a total length of 345m. The train is too long to reverse at IR117 signal. The train really requires the route IR207 to IR119 'LOS' signal & then reverse & go forwards from IR213 signal. However IR213 signal is missing from location list. Is this going to be added, or is there another location in the list that will allow the move to take place. 1980s era mode used for this timetable. Many thanks for any assistance.
