Drivers don't appear to call in after 2mins at HJ23, HJ32, and WK1209/11/18/31/33 sigs.

Several sigs in the Castleford interlocking also appear to be affected which I am looking into.

In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream...

I've already identified and and logged a bug for trains entering from barnsley not calling in at any signals (which is an issue with the entry point, not the trains or signals).

Can you confirm where the affected trains entered from, or at least the headcodes so I can run a test?

Tests were carried out on a fresh session with a 'custom' TT - no TT at start, paused and multiple test trains entered through F4 from Barnsley and Westgate. The only thing I can think of was that L/Cs were switched out but that shouldn't affect Kirkgate?

Nope. I bet Westgate has the same issue as barnsley. Is it just those two entry points?

Did trains entering from Westgate also show these symptoms?

The bug jc92 refers to affects all signals, if the train in question entered from Barnsley.

I've just tested Westgate and there's no issue related to the Barnsley bug. trains ring at all the listed signals after 2 mins.

I think this is just the previously logged bug. once a train enters from Barnsley, it won't ring from any signals at all. Mantis 33030 which is marked resolved, so the issue is sorted, pending the release of an updated version when ready.

Given you mention signal WK1218 and HJ32, I suspect you were letting a train from Barnsley reverse in-sim to head back there. The bug in question will persist if the train changes headcode, hence the missing phonecalls on the return trip.

Agreed, the phone calls seem to be intermittently occurring but not consistently...

It's actually the train, not the signals. Trains reach a trigger point on the track which turns on (entering sim) or off (exiting sim) red signal phonecalls so you only get a phone call if the train is under your control. If the developer forgets to enable calls then the train will never call.

For personal reference, did Carlisle have a similar issue on the Up Main before Gretna Jn?

From memory, yes it did.
