Timetable writing in 1990's era 23/05/2014 at 07:19 #60840

Has anyone attempted yet to write a timetable using the 1990's era settings.
I am currently trying to enter a train that goes from Epsom thru Sutton, Hackbridge, Mitcham Junction and then on via Streatham South and North Junctions to Victoria.
I have tried several times now to enter the information and have received the validation successful message but when I reopen the timetable the locations have all been jumbled up and the timetable now looks nothing like the original and logical calling points. I have even tried using as a template a service from the timetable that comes packaged with the sim but still get the same validation successful and then nonsense.
I note that the Eastfields location has been taken out/cannot be used for this era of timetable writing and wondered if this was screwing everything up.

Any ideas on this one guys otherwise the residents of Epsom will not have a through train at 5:15 in the morning to get them into the office and will have to change at Sutton.

Geoff.

It stops everywhere except the Streatham South and North Junctions which I have just entered as a passing point but with no times i.e. 00/00. Will try that James and see what happens.

Geoff The Streatham South / North Jcn's are what are classed as "key way points" I think. This means that they need a time eg 09/21 rather than 00/00 (which causes the muddled order).
