Having a go at this one, and I've found that 5D41 doesn't like its timetable for reversing round the Chester triangle; It calls in wrong route at 556 at north junction when routed to south junction complaining that it has Chester later in it's timetable but it is timed via south junction first (I assume this could be fixed by splitting the schedule at south junction?), and once the timetable was abandoned to get it going, and re-instated it stopped at 107 rather than the probably intended LOS2 for the reversal at south junction before heading back to Chester (Is there not yet a timing point for reversing at 122/124).

Saves provided in case necessary.

On behalf of the Honourable Speaker of the House of Simsig (Carlisle Area), he would like to advise that Mantis 30963 would apply. This has been noted in the Hansard.

We've sorted this out for the next timetable update, we're just holding off firing out anything today publicly, but it'll be available in the next few days.

If you want to fix it in the interim,

Bache loop
Chester South Jnc (Passing time NOT a stop)
Roodee Junction
Chester South (Pass or stop)
Chester.

Will work

Quick question about 5B06 and 5J43. The timetable says that 5B06 leaves Chester 1 minute before 5J43, but 5J43 passes through Helsby 1 minute before 5B06, so I was wondering how they pass?

I think there is an issue with 5F14. The N: 2F14 is listed twice in the location list, I think it should only be on the last entry, else 5F14 becomes 2F14 the first time it hits Helsby, and then continues the wrong way towards Acton Grange, rather than reversing at Helsby 13.

Following on from this, I don't think there is a route from Helsby 13 to Helsby P3, should it be Helsby P4?

There seems to be some incompatible platform assignments in the evening hours, but I'm not sure if these are quirks of the real life timetable, or errors.

For example, 2D55, 5B10 and 2H37, are all in platform 6, which blocks 1H95 route from platform 7A to Warrington.

I have a query about the Chester - Liverpool services. Why do they have 5B** headcodes, rather than 2B*? Is this how they are shown in real life?

They were driver training runs at the time; the passenger service started in May 2019.
