New Fictional 1944 Timetable

3) Self inflicted - failed to realise that I needed trains like 2K02 (0600 ex Swindon) to be authorised to enter a Goods Only line.

I mentioned this one before in another thread where Max was talking about class 2 trains going into Alphington Road Siding (Exeter sim). One solution is to edit the TT of every class 2 train that has to access a goods siding or line (Kemble Siding, Cocklebury Sidings, Rover) and tick the "use freight linespeeds" tick box in the "train characteristics" tab. This will stop the driver questioning the route.

Now when I suggested this to Max in the other thread, someone stated that ticking that box would make the train do just that - travel at freight linespeeds. This may be true, but I don't see it as a problem, as once the train has entered the line in question it's only a short space of time later that it exits the sim anyway, so it's hardly going to get in anything else's way by travelling at reduced speed.

I've tested this out by editing all the relevant class 2 TTs (trains exiting at Kemble Siding, Cocklebury Sidings and Rover), and these trains now accept the above exit routes without question. I suppose I'll now have someone moaning at me that I'm cheating, but then back in 1944 these lines weren't freight-only lines, so I stand by my decision to tick the box. :)

This TT has not been tested on the SwinDid loader version as that doesn't work very well on my antiquated XP system.

Works fine as a loader version as far as I can see!

Only up to 0035 so can't make too many comments yet.

Many thanks

Not quite unfortunately. Up parcel trains cannot access the Down Main from Swindon Parcels to Bourton. No problem with the 'exe' version. This has been reported.
