Timetable Notes

This timetable should be run in the 2004-2007 era. An 0445 start is included.

A full WTT for Wolverhampton, set in 2014. Passenger times have been taken from Real Time Trains and Trains.im, freight times from the WTT on Network Rail's website.

Passenger times are based on 04/04/2014, freight is based on trains which actually ran in the week commencing 17/03/2014.

The timetable includes a possession of the line between Monmore Green Juncition and Galton Junction, between 00:00 and 04:30 each morning, excluding Monday. At the end of the day, a possession train (6Z90) will enter bound for Monmore Green Junction. Do not allow this train to leave Wolverhampton before the last passenger service (1G92 if everything's on time) towards Galton Junction departs.

Passenger Services

Virgin Trains operates an hourly service between London and Scotland which runs via Wolverhampton. These trains run as Class 9, to distinguish them from Virgin's other London- Scotland service, which runs straight down the WCML via Lichfield. For regulation purposes, these should be treated as normal Class 1 trains. Trains are a mixture of Class 390s and Class 221s.

VT stables several trains at Oxley overnight, so there are a few extra VT services during the morning and evening.

CrossCountry operates an hourly service between Manchester and Bristol (with some extensions to Exeter and Paington) , and an hourly service between Manchester and Bournemouth. Trains are a mixture of Class 220s and 221s.

Arriva Trains Wales operates an hourly service to Birmingham International. The origin/destination of this service alternates between Holyhead and Aberystwyth. Class 158s are used on these services.

London Midland operates a half-hourly semi-fast service between Birmingham and Liverpool, using Class 350/2s. They also operate a half-hourly all stations service between Wolverhampton and Walsall, using 323s.

Freight

At the start of the simulation, a light engine will seed at signal 243. The train's description will tell you which day's freight is running for this session. Monday is significantly quieter than the rest of the week (and does not include the overnight possession), while Thursday is the busiest day.

If you encounter any bugs, or have problems/questions, please post them below.

Enjoy!

Just looking through this TT, looks good, nice and busy. Noticed quite a few trains booked in/out of P6. Assuming this could be a typo?

Just done a TT analysis, and there's only 4 trains booked in P6, all of which should be.

Hi Steamer, oops, my sincere apologies. For some stupid reason (probably a senior moment), I looked at the screen and thought 'there isn't a P6'. No other excuse, other than me being an idiot.
Seriously, many thanks for yet another brill WM TT.
Mal.

I also don't think it would be possible for it to be a typo, as Simsig will only accept certain values for platform number, line code, and so on based on what's at that location.

I've uploaded a revised version 1.1 here. This adds 5W48 and its join with 9M48, which I didn't know about when I wrote the original TT.
