Hi again,


I had a call from the shunter to say that train 6F38 was ready to depart (the shunt to Garston). I said OK please let it enter. It never did.

Is this a known problem?

Edit: they appear for a brief period before disappearing.

Bump.

Can anybody help on this issue? A second train has now declared itself entering but never materialises except for a brief few seconds on the F2 window.

It sounds like a bug.

At this stage I had guessed it was a bug.

I am wondering why no acknowledgement has been made and a ticket raised to fix it.

This is payware. This should not be happening, and it should not be taking a week to get an acknowledgement.

One moment whilst I confirm this issue, if I can reproduce I'll post it on the bug tracker myself

I don't see a 6F58 in the Edge Hill timetable.

Just experienced this with 6F83 "12:40 Halewood Jaguar - Garston (Speke) T.C. (DBS Cl.08+15 IPA - 460m)" in the default 2009 TT.

With no information on the Wiki manual about the length of the East Neck, I've had to use the length of a previous train - 6F82 (247m) - to guide me in shortening the length of 6F83 to ensure it'll fit inside the East Neck without having to shorten it any further.

My F5 Performance Analysis now doesn't look great...

You can get track circuit lengths via the Incident Control Panel:
1. Open the Track Sections tab and use the "click to select" feature to learn the name of the track section you're interested in (e.g. TSTJCC).
2. Go to the TSR tab, click "Add...", then "Individual subroute". Now replace the initial "T" of the track section name with an "U", so "USTJCC" in this case and look for that in the list.
3. Select the desired subroute (plain tracks will have just two for back and forth, sections with S&C elements in them will have more subroutes for all the possible movements), which will fill out the position and speed fields with the default values applicable to that section, i.e. normal line speed and the whole length of the track section.

Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.
