Hello. I have recently noticed that when running Birmingham New Street that a lot of trains that come into the platforms in the early morning and divide, or even just single trains that take up the full platform, do not give TRTS. Any ideas?

In instances where this is happening, are you setting the route all the way to the end as shown in the provided image?
In this instance with NS170 already being off, the TRTS won't sound. Though, as described in the manual, the train won't move until it has a proceed from the exit signal from the platform.

I am fully aware of this, but sometimes a train does not give TRTS when no signals are set at all! I will try and get a photo next time it happens.

A saved game would be much better as it makes it easier to work out what is going wrong.

I've reported this before.

The first empties do not TRTS. You put them in the platforms and they just sit there. I had one 3hrs overdue.

They should.

Do you have any additional or further information that might help us narrow down what the issue is, the timetable in use? Headcodes of the trains involved?

Can I recommend trying it. It all happens at the start of the timetable.

It happened to me with the 2009 Groundhog Timetable.

I'll double check if I have a save.

I would absolutely love to try it, but in order to do that and ensure the choir is all singing from the same hymn sheet I need to ascertain which timetable you're using, and preferably a train which you think is involved.

Edit the original posting above was made before Guts edited his post.

Using the public release of the 2009 timetable (The save you've uploaded has no version number and appears to be an edited version of an older copy of the timetable as the description doesn't match the V5 public release) 2A36 terminated, formed 5A36 and belled out on the TRTS, running a second time if I gave it a preemptive yellow it didn't bell out but won't move per the dispatch procedure which is what I'd expect.

There seems to be an outstanding issue here however. trains which are detained in such a way never call to complain about the situation. Assuming a driver is instructed not to accept a RA until he has a complete route out of the platform, would he not call after circa 2 minutes to enquire why he's being detained per section K?

While the signaller shouldn't make the error, its entirely possible to do so and the driver should probably jog his memory at some point.

Right, just found a train that does not give TRTS in the 2015 default timetable, 5S29 or 5S69 (can’t remember which, it is an early morning pendolino ECS from Soho depot to P6 at New Street). The outbound passenger service (1S29/1S69) does not give TRTS if you route it into the platform how you would normally.

Potentially related bug attached -

5O12 in 11A did not TRTS (with the TRTS indicator) in the usual fashion despite its status. However it is calling me up claiming he is at NS148.

I'm not surprised they don't TRTS. None of them exist in that TT.

The platform starting signal is already off so TRTS won't operate.

Ah sorry mate it was 5S39 and 1S39 just looked it up properly.

Worked fine for me. If you left NS195 showing single yellow then the TRTS can't fire because the TRTS is shared between 195 and 225/226, and the interlocking cancels any TRTS with a signal off.

Sorry Geoff, the signal was pulled after it was apparent the train was RTS but TRTS on the platform had failed. Hope the attached snapshot from just prior is clearer.

Note also the train phones to report it's at 148.

Sorry was this response to the save I posted??

Can I ask, when you say edited version, was 5A36 or 5G93 edited?? If I edit a train does it then affect TRTS for the empties??

I completely understand the process in terms of clearing the first signal but not the platform end signal will make the train wait for a further signal and not then TRTS, as a clear signal negates the TRTS.

I've just checked your save "220213-000537 sim time 044228 5a36 and 5g93.ssg", and in that game 5A36 is sat at a Y on NS168 towards NS167, hence no TRTS. Clear NS167 and 5A36 departs as expected.

Guys, please, I've been a signaller for 22yrs, I know how signalling works, so I also know how TRTS works. That's not even to say I know everything because I don't, but I know signalling.

The reason for the yellow was I had only just realised how overtime both trains were and I needed the platforms. I cleared the Y for 5A36 then realised I hadn't saved it. Before I cleared the Y it was not TRTS'ing.
None of this explains why 5G93 isn't TRTS'ing.

Now, I do not know the intricacies of SimSig data, and in this case I'd like to know why these trains are well past their departure times with no TRTS.

It's not a dig at anyone, it's a simple enquiry to find out what has changed thats now preventing the services from TRTS'ing. They used to before, why not now?
If you think of it in same breath, it's like Aston chaining issues (that have now been fixed), out of the blue it stopped chaining for no reason, but obviously something changed datawise. Happily it's been restored.

Guts, it's difficult to answer the question as we're struggling to reproduce the issue when running a fresh game, I've tried the trains from the save you posted earlier in the thread a few times, and I can't reproduce the issue. If anyone is able to come up with a reproduceable case, and steps on how do to it, that would assist in helping us fix any issues that might be present.

Dude, I wouldn't worry about it. I just tried a new start up and it works. That all that matters. Thanks for looking into it.

I have found an example. Here we have 2W00 failing to give TRTS at platform 5 of New Street. Could be to do with it stopping in the middle of the platform?
