Bletchley platform 5 to platform 3 via mainline shunt 24/10/2017 at 18:50 #102505

Hi all,

I'm playing Rugby SCC 1+2 (South) and I've had a track circuit failure of TKCA track circuit. This is the track circuit at the country end of the two Bletchley Relief lines containing TK257 points. The point is, anyway, I can't use either relief line.

Train 5W93 is booked to enter at Bletchley CS Up run to platform 5, reverse, head down the Bletchley Relief 2 and run to Milton Keynes Central platform 2 to form 2W93 into London.

Since I can't do this I had the idea of signalling the train to Drayton Road Junction, crossing it onto the up fast and reversing on the mainline via position light signal TK1459. I planned to shunt it back into Bletchley platform 3 and from there run it into Milton Keynes Central platform 2.

The problem is, I cannot work out how to edit the timetable to get the train to carry out this move.

I tried

Bletchley Plt 5 Lin US
Bletchley South Jn Pth US
Drayton Rd Jn Pth SL Lin FL
Bletchley South Jn Pth SL
Bletchley Pth SL Lin SL

But the train simply sets down at Drayton Road Junction on the slow line then crossed to the fast line and heads down to Tring.

Can anyone let me know what I should enter instead.

Here is what I would do:

As 5W93 is approaching P5 abandon its timetable.
Set the road from P5 to Drayton Rd Jn UF signal TK3216 making sure that this signal is at stop.
Reverse the train.
Set road from TK1459 to P3.
Reinstate TT.
