At the start of the timetable there was a bug which was train 5G90 which was supposed to go into the Carriage Sidings but then it says it is the wrong route to be set and i tried to set it into Gloucester Platform 4 and the route is correct! Random, someone please fix it seriously

I've just down loaded that Timetable and run the train. I routed it from it's entry location in the Down Rec to platform 1, thence reverse to 446 signal and thence to the carriage sidings and it ran perfectly.

At which signal did you get the wrong route message?

If the next location isn't the carriage sidings (ie if you neglected to go via platform 1 and reverse at 446 as per the timetable) the sim will not recognize that as a valid location until the next location is updated via the F2 menu

This isn't a bug.

The train in question is a seed train. Gloucester is a fairly old simulation which doesn't support the creation of trains within the area at the start of the simulation, so I had to have the train enter the area at the nearest convenient point to pick up the working. In reality, 5G90 enters the area at 22:50, arrives at Gloucester at 23:18 and leaves at 00:10 (you'll see this if you play the timetable to the end). At the start of the timetable (midnight), I couldn't create the train in Gloucester P4, so I had to get it to enter at Gloucester Yard. It then goes to Gloucester to pick up the correct working.

In any case, trains should always be routed in location order- the TT states the train should go to P4, then signal 446, then Gloucester CS, so that's the way it should go. In reality there are often cases why a train doesn't go directly from A to B.
