The Exeter manual states that call on routes into P1 & P2 exist in the down direction at Exeter Central. I have been unable to get a route to prove from E310 in to an occupied P2 (- see saved game below), although a route from E730 into P2 will prove. I haven't experimented with P1.
In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream...

While I am sure there will be someone more qualified around at a later date to help me, I have had a look on the SRS website here, looking at the Exeter Stage 1B file, which covered Exeter Central (or Queen Street as I like to confuse people with).

It states that from signal E310, there is a main and call on aspect into Platform 1, but only a main aspect heading towards E312.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, that looks to be the case. I can't find my original save but have run some tests trying to join trains in P1 and P2 and this appears to be consitent across the eras as well.

One thing I have noted was that if a route is set from E310 into an occupied P1, the Call on will clear as soon as T/C TMH is occupied. So that the oncomming train accelerates to 40mph then only brakes for the points for P1. Is this correct?
