Hello,

I am just controlling the Stratford panel in a multiplayer game. Some strange issues caught my eye in the F2 view regarding trains at the fringes of the panel.

Down Main trains intermittently appear and disappear from the train list while on their way from Tyseley to Shirley. Once routed towards Stratford, they become visible in F2 except when stopped at a station until they actually pass the boundary of the Stratford panel. Probably this affects other workstations on other sims too, but I haven't tried.

It's an entirely minor issue of course, but maybe worth noting since it also seems to affect the reporting of delays to the right panel.

Probably a signalling object or two is allocated to the wrong workstation (or no workstation). If you happen to notice signal IDs when it has disappeared, that would be useful.

Side note: a train can appear on multiple client machines if the train is signalled to or through multiple areas.

The train disappears a second after it is 'stopped at station' and reappears as it moves with 0mph out of the station. I've witnessed this at least at Moor Street and Spring Road.

I have not seen this happen with trains from Leamington. At least at Hatton, they do not disappear from F2.
