Testing a Timetable and Elford Loop has behaved up until now, This time I have an ECS working booked into the loop 5E44 13:35 - 13:54. This is supposed to follow 1V56 after 1V56 has passed Elford Loop. 1V56 has however been stopped at DY6 the down Mainline signal before the entrance to Elford. I know we originally had issues with Elford but this seems a new one

Internally, this uses a sort of ARS with normal routing.
However, the loop exit route is sometimes set immediately when a train enters, instead of waiting for departure time.
To prevent this, put a reminder on the signal until the train should leave.

Upon authorising 1V56 to pass signal at Danger (DY6) it reports travelling at 40mph then stops saying points set against train and 5E44 has exited the loop and is approaching Tamworth.

Seen previous issues with Freight services but cannot remember seeing this one before.

Sorry was writing part 2 when you replied. Will give that a try.

By SPADing that train, the mainline route has never been set. That's why the points are against it. At this point, you should just remove the train.

Just been reading through this Chris, the waiting trains on the mainline before the loop is definitely a similar issue to the one I mentioned to you in the e-mails.

Cheers

Sounds like similar behaviour to the Lockerbie up loop on Carlisle.

Hi Andy agree.
I cannot understand why it has not happened with Freights in the Loop, (Or has not with me)

Same thing happened to me.

Same two trains 5E44 and 1V56.

It's happened to me with certain freights on past occasions

You can start these trains or just cancel them.
