Do you have a length for:-

1) T5601 so as the train stands clear of the GF points
and
2) The siding itself, so as the train will get inside clear?

I've noticed that the train will report arrived at Offord DS even though it is still standing in the DSL before entry to the sidings. No big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.

T5601 is 260 metres long. T5602 is 540 metres. They display as a combined pair. The GF points are on T5504.

Curious; "Offord DS" is T5601.

I think you may have wires crossed -

To come to a clear understanding:

As I read it Vince is reporting that a train is reporting arrived at "Offord DS" while standing on the Down Slow at the Ground Frame - presumably under the impression that "Offord DS" stands for Offord Down Siding when it is actually shorthand for Offord Down Slow.

The sim is - as far as I can see - behaving as intended; and the location name for the siding is "Superior International".
