Hi

i am running with TT Bristol 1985 v3.21 and am experiencing a problem routing train 5C71 into Bristol West CWM from ST PM Centre. When I route the train from signal 330 to signal 46 the train comes to a stand at 46 but the overlap just wont shut off. Whilst there is an overlap you cannot route anything from signal 46 to signal 588.

I have tried using the shunt arrow at signal 46 but you cannot do this from signal 36. I have also tried setting the route from 46 to 588 then setting the route from 330 to 46. This wont work either because the points are set for an opposite route according to the Sim.

Is there a way round this? I ask out of mere curiosity, as I'm happy to send the train into Malago dirty. After all, I wont be travelling on it!

The train is clear of S330, but it hasn't cleared its overlap so the signal has not released the route (even though it has reverted to red). You can tell because the signal stalk is still white rather than the usual grey. Manually cancel the route and the overlap beyond S46 will then drop out enabling you to set the route into the CWM.

Got it. Many thanks for your help. I would have sent it into Malago filthy If I had to though!
