Unable to get trains out of Exeter depot! 05/02/2012 at 17:19 #28881

I'm probably making a noob error here, but I can't work out what it is, my issue is that on all timetables/scenarios I can't get trains out of Exeter West Siding, and into St Davids station, I've tried clicking on all the signals, but it stil won't set a route, although I did just get an error message stating "Subroute locked in opposite direction", I don't know how to "unlock" the subroute, let alone change it's direction!

Also if when the driver phones to say about the red signal, if I respond with a "pass signal at danger" message, the train stays put.

Can anyone help a noob in distress :lol: ?

Cheers.

Tim.

You can although the SBSIs for Exeter specifically forbid it.

Thats strange though, seems to make no sense to have that move banned.
