Thanks for a fantastic new simulation! The manual states "You should phone Angerstein to advise them of a train going that way." However, as far as I can see there is no option to call them.

However, as far as I can see there is no option to call them.It is only a courteousy call Signallers do for arriving Freights,as the control trains on the Angerstein Branch is under the Signaller. The Shunter has to ring the Signaller to allow a train out of the Sidings onto the branch. The Shunter would have to walk out to the STop Board to speak to the Freight Driver to bring it in. With the advent of mobile phones, tablets etc, Shunters now know where their incoming freight is.
