This is a very minor thing, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something. When I request a slot for one of the Wimbledon CSD reception lines (off the District Line), or for Clapham Yard, the ARS seemingly picks a random (possibly different) line, such that sometimes when I actually set the route I will get "routed off planned path" (I have verified when this happens that I can set a different route into a different line, at least in the case of Clapham Yard, and ARS will be perfectly happy). Is there any way I should be checking which of these lines I should be routing the train on, or does it really not matter? How would it be done in real life (I understand the Clapham Yard shunter will probably know the layout of the yard and where a train needs to go, but what about Wimbledon CSD, considering you can request the slot for any of the three reception lines, and you choose which one you're requesting it for?)

For both Clapham and Wimbledon, ARS has to be programmed for a particular route. If it sees a different route set then it's saying "hey, I wasn't expecting that. Over to you." It's just a warning, that's all. No penalty points or anything. The same thing would happen on real life ARS.

Cheers - the only reason it confused me was that at one point, it seemed to want me to route into the middle of the three entry points to Clapham Yard, yet in another case it appeared to want me to route into the bottom one. That's why I assumed it was random. Maybe instead it depends on the entrance signal? Anyway, thanks for clearing it up
