Started this new topic as couldn't find the correct one for this to go in.

5Z06 enters from Hornsey EMUD for KingsX Platform 9 to divide into 2F06 (DR) and 2P16 (N).

2F06 departs KingsX from Platform 9F at 01:06
2P16 departs KingsX from Platform 8F at 01:36.

There is no shunt move timetabled for 2P16 from Platform 9 to Platform 8 therefore I do believe that 2P16 has the wrong platform listed. It should probably be "9R" instead of "8F".

Also, 6Z02 enters from Royston, timetable says it's meant to pass Hitchin then turn around at Hitchin South and go into Hitchin CMEE. I routed the train through Hitchin Platform 1 as it appears to be booked to do so and waited for it to stop at Hitchin South but it doesn't stop at Hitchin South, just carries on towards Stevenage on the Up Slow. I suspect the timetable just needs editing for this train to actually stop at Hitchin South instead of it's current passing time (which is currently 00/00). Then again, perhaps the timetable is meant to read "Hitchin CE SGDS" instead of Hitchin CMEE?

Thanks in advance.

I have gone though this timetable and fixed all issues, ie: train lengths, platforms(most of them) and trains not reversing when required.
Due to it being composed by someone else i will await their permission before submitting it.

There are several 2004 timetables and it would appear I was responsible for some of them; can't remember any of them....

If it was mine then that's OK by me.
Either way what I suggest you do is upload it and say, as far as you are aware, who the original author was and that you did the fixes. If there is a version number (x) add a (x.1) to that number.
I'll check what you write before authorising and will take down the original.

Glad someone posted in this old thread suddenly - I had forgotten that I created it.

I believe that the timetable in question was using during "The Big One" (24hr session) hosted earlier this year by Afro09 and during that session a person who is understood to have created this timetable joined the game and I had already asked them if I could fix it and I have done so but just one or two little things left to do to fix it completely before I uploaded it. Unfortunately I hadn't backed up the timetable and so it was stuck on my laptop until it was fixed which has only recently happened. I have just had a look and I have still got the timetable so I can go back to fixing the final few edits for it but it seems Mark may have 'beaten me to it' now?
