Sorry again Geoff!

In addition to the (now fixed) bugs I reported before regarding wrong direction moves from Upminster Platform 2 in the up direction, I have now found some in the down direction. Trains will lose their TD when going from Upminster Platform 2 on the Up Main in the down direction. This only becomes evident when the train returns to the Down Main at West Horndon. In addition, Signal 543 is approach controlled, but when it steps up to green as the train approaches, the repeater signals 543R and 543RR both step up to green even though the train has already passed them. Is this correct? It just looks weird to meā€¦



I have attached a save from just before 2B74 departs Upminster for reference. Thanks as always!

Thanks, fixed. Note that in the picture above, 543R is correctly showing G because the train has not passed it (well, the track circuit it is on straddles both sides of the signal, so it may still be on the approach rather than past it - no way for the interlocking to know until it hits track FUG).

Cheers Geoff.

Just wondering, does that also apply to 543RR?

UR543RR gets replaced by track FUF, yes, same principle. Put another way, UR543RR and UR228 are back-to-back, as are UR543R and UR232. Given that the overlaps for the right direction signals are ~183m long, that means that a train standing at UR543R or UR543RR will be ~183m beyond the start of the track circuit, so the next opportunity to replace the R or RR is the next available track, about 600m beyond the signal.

Very interestingā€¦thanks for explaining that! B)
