This newly uploaded timetable contains a grand total of 9 trains.. was the area under some sort of possession, or is the timetable broken?

The Timetable isn't broken, there's just a couple of Sandite or weedkiller trains out of Effingham Junction shuffling around, whilst every other TOC shuts down operations for the day. If you look in the notes of the last train to run, you can see I do admit it was a bit of a joke, I just couldn't resist & I was 3 green ginger wines deep, I blame my immaturity personally. Trainman525 in post 143269 said: The one day the railway is closed, and still 9 trains... no days off for signallers.Technically there were 4, but 2 of those reversed at WIM, which can't be simulated on this one and the other 2 are seen 'in bounds' 5 times collectively, If I'd had my way and could reverse without terminating at a signal outside of CLJ, there would only be 5! But alas I had to extend the real services and route them to QRB to terminate reverse. That being said, the last train (354Y-05) does complain of a wrong route when leaving QRB #2/UWF through Clapham yard, saying it is routed via Clapham main. But ARS knows what to do. Some type of bug? - maybe Geoff didn't anticipate someone programming in this daft a maneuver? The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails Last edited: 03/01/2022 at 18:06 by rfw Reason: formatting Log in to reply |

Simsig wouldn't even accept the sequence of stations and you'd just loose a whole bunch of performance points for not keeping up as it is timetabled to be overspeed of line speed. Just not practical to timetable in. And how long would I make it anyway?

I was curious when I saw it, if 1X01 was an Easter egg from RTT or from NR
