I have an issue regarding units coming out of the Unit Sidings at Springs Branch I've tried a few things including looking at the 2019 timetable to give me ideas on how routing works. Any ideas how to fix this?

I think you need Station Junction after South and before Wallgate.

"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer

Seems like it should be enough just to add Wigan Station Junction in between.

RTT did give you all the needed locations to get the train from springs branch to Wigan Wallgate
Also the entry point marked as sidings was removed when they relaid the area for the stabling sidings so it would be more realistic entering at the LIP

Many thanks for that, I was considering either the LIP or Sidings entry but will now move to LIP.

Just one more query when I load up 2019 timetable at 2pm start I have train 1S07 ex-RMT2 on Warrington Royal Mail [Dallam] Platform 2 with a 1400 departure. I click the route from WN130 to WN170 but 'Point(s) locked normal by another route' message in the box. There isn't anything referenced in the manual and it effects trains that are in Platform 2 & Platform 1.

You've got time of operation point locking here. I can't remember the time, but its something in the region of requiring the platform track clear, or occupied for a period of something like 120 seconds to be able to swing the points

Ah right I see what you mean, 1402 when I finally able to swing them and able to set routes. Maybe an idea to add that into the manual for others.

Might have missed this in the manual, but on one occasion in the 2019 timetable I had an ECS that comes off the Wallgate line, down the WCML and onto the Manchester line via Golbourne junction. It had a few minutes to wait before I could give it the slot off the Wallgate line as the junctions were a bit gummed up. I received a call from Wallgate informing me that he had a train for me that was booked WCML. On previous occasions that Wallgate sent me a train booked via the WCML (the binliner) I received no such call. Is this because there was a bit of a delay and the signaller's way of reminding me the train was there?

The way this is intended to work is if you have a train booked towards the WCML, but you have a slot set towards Crow Nest Junction, you'll get a phone call telling you that you've got the wrong route set for the train, before Wallgate will route the train towards you (Or in this case, allow the train to enter).

From your description, I'm not convinced this is working as I intended it to (I don't currently have the data in front of me), but will do some digging tomorrow. From memory, I thought it was set up to only phone in when the incorrect route was set.

Its the imaginary platform 148 platforms away from Platform 2. Serious answer, logged on Mantis as 0032619, and resolved.

For reference, 150 should be the default stopping position, and not a platform number. Somehow i've entered this as the wrong key

Hi James,

Can confirm that I didn't have a route set for the train at that time (or any time previously). Previous trains had a bit of a wait at the junction as well, but no phone call.

A quick note to thank you for the sim, it's excellent. Now no longer, but it used to be pretty close to my home turf.

I have train 6Q60 that's arriving at Warrington from Rugby, on the diagrams it went into the Loco Platform at Warrington Bank Quay, so using it's path I set it Acton Grange, Warrington P4 then Warrington Rev 185 and final location Warrington Bank Quay. But when validating it comes up invalid any ideas?

I'm running a chain with Warrington and Wigan and I seem to be having issues with signaling trains into Wallgate from Hindley/Ince. How do you get 35 to turn green? I've routed from 35 to WW 101 and then from WW 101 to WW 103 on the Wigan sim but 35 stays at red.

(Note, I had no problem when I was just running Warrington by itself)

Edit: I figured it out, I had to set a route from WW 100 (which confused me because it is grey)

Edit2: FYI: I call this the Rugby League chain - see screenshot (St Helens, Warrington, Wigan)

I have a train that needs to be seeded at Signal 567, but have noticed in the timetable editor seeding location that signals 565, 567, 569 & 583 are missing on the Up Chat Moss in the editor.

They're on the list, but listed as S565, S567 etc. in the modern era. I assume this is because the signals are substantially different between eras- 567 is an auto in the old era but controlled in the new.

The name that appears in the seeding list doesn't have to be the signal number, so the dev could make them "567 (old era)" and "567 (new era)", for example.
