External train describers 19/03/2014 at 10:19 #57356

First, a small cosmetic problem - on the Saltley TD, there's a signal missing between University and Selly Oak. Additionally, all other external train describers show signal numbers when you right-click on them, however the Saltey ones (both) don't. Was that intentional?

And finally, it looks like the Coventry train describer doesn't work properly in chained mode. In the Up direction, Coventry's train descriptions don't show up at all.
In the Down direction, they only show up starting from signal CY55, and even then only when the routes from CY55 to CY80, and from CY86 to NS405 have been set. The indications beyond Tile Hill (CY38 to CY78) and at Tile Hill DPL (CY60) don't work at all in chained mode. So basically it seems like it's mimicking the behaviour of the 1st appr/2nd appr indicator.
In case it's era dependent, I've used the most recent era in both sims.
Wolverhampton and Aston on the other hand seem to work fine.

Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.
