Not sure if this has been mentioned before, sorry if it has. Thought these would be of use to SimSig Developers http://www.networkrail.co.uk/searchresult.aspx?q=sectional%20appendix Log in to reply The following user said thank you: ozrail |

Sadly, they lack much information at all about signalling. Also, they've been available for much longer than the WTTs!

Thanks for posting. These links are already on our Wiki links (resources) page (See Reference sites > Network Rail), along with links to NR's Current Timetables, Working Timetable Maps, Rules of the Route, etc. There's so much info here that I'm baffled where to start looking for stuff that might help me write TTs. Section Appendix seems mostly to have info on mileages and speeds. I'd like to ask sim developers and particularly TT writers, which parts of these publications they find most useful? Whereas John's link was to Search Results for Sectional Appendix, here's a direct link to the NESA home page, which contains links to its downloadable PDF files.

as an example max, the Sectional appendix gives details of Sandite/Jet/RHTT workings. as part of this is indicates to a TT developer the maximum permitted speeds allowed when working/not working, it also explains what the headcodes mean. ej if I want to add a working - 3S25, the Sectional appendix indicates this is applying sandite, as opposed to 3J25 which is Jet only. I can then choose an appropriate consist and apply the correct speed. Just one small example. the SA is mainly of use to a Sim developer as it gives notes of unusual working arrangements which need to be simulated, speed limits/restrictions, effective platform lengths, a full list of crossings including occupation/UWC crossings etc "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: maxand |

The Scotland Route sectional appendix only shows user worked and footpath crossings which are equipped with telephones and/or MSLs. I imagine the other routes are the same.

Rules of the Route helps by giving information regarding turnaround times at locations (specifically useful for major termini) and also turnaround times and join/split times for each stock.

Using OTT means you don't have to keep flicking from one WTT table to another.

For historic Sectional Appendices, I've just stumbled across limitofshunt.org.uk, which has some historic appendices available, with a focus on the North Eastern region. Other than that, there seems to be the SRS, although their archive is members only.
