Testing my 30th December WTT and having an odd issue with joining ECS services.

The problem occurs when an ECS service arrives, is joined by another ECS services and then reverses to continue its journey to Longsight using the same headcode. The first unit to arrive seems to stop in a position that occupies the platform end TC thus preventing a further unit from joining - but if the second unit is signalled past danger into the platform it fits despite the Lime Street Control.

I've checked unit lengths and stopping positions and all are as they should be, with space in the platforms. This has happened in both platform 1 and 4, and both have successfully been used permissively throughout the WTT with no similar issues; it appears to affect only ECS moves. Is the sim coded to handle them slightly differently?

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.
