I seem to be having a moment with TI4 and routing it to H1 keeps coming up with 'Route not available' I turned off Absolute Blocks/LCs while I check it out. Read the manual but can't seen to find anything on this issue. Plus I don't remember that issue at Glasgow meet.

Will loop lengths be added to both manuals soon? Really helps regulating the odd early/late freights.

I have a track section failure in the craven Arms area which turns out to be in the up block section to Marsh Brook and is now locking the up block at TOL. I have no issue with effectively having a block failure but is this intentional to have those track sections capable of failing?

Joe, I thought we'd expand out on the type of failures that can happen, so in Hereford you can in affect suffer a block failure (Looks like a TCF as that's what generates it).

Hopefully I've got the ratios of block failures, to TCFs about right.

I'm loving the Hereford sim but I have one problem.

Trains heading towards Church Stretton don't hand over the Heart of Wales token. The first time I thought I had done something wrong so got the down HoW train to SPAD, but now the second UP train has left Craven Arms without dumping the token.

Noticed a minor bug with headcode not displaying properly when drivers call up from Knighton to request the token. It shows ??? in the top message window, but the correct headcode 2V36 in the reply window.

H54 reads a yellow aspect when a route is set into Hereford diesel sidings. I think it should be a subsidiary but you never know

I've noticed trains between Hendy Junction and Pontardulais/pantyfonn loose around 4 minutes in both directions without any faults/failures etc and the slot was granted immediately. I've confirmed this on three separate trains so far.

Already been reported and fixed, Pway have been deployed to remove some extra track, perhaps it could be used to redouble the line?

Excellent news. I'm sure all the commuters from Shrewsbury to Swansea will be glad of the reduction in journey times making their commute smoother 😂

Is it supposed to be the case that you can't shunt in the Hereford area? I was trying to shunt a train to H2 and back but alas no good?

Are you trying to create a timetable for such a move? or unable to route the train?

No reversing locations present (Mantis 0022158)

Using the latest sim version 1.0 build 6 after checking for updates this morning and starting a new sim I am unable to call a route from H34 GPL Sig on the Down Main. It doesn't even flash to try and initiate calling a route. I was hoping to set a route from H34 to H10 on the Up Main.

That isn't a signaled move in the era simulated. You need to use Brecon Curve GF, and talk the driver by.
