I was playing through the very early hours of kings cross on the 2015 timetable, and encountered a track circuit failure and a points failure very close to each other, on the down canonbury line and on the down goods which joins it. I had train 4E83 entering on the down canonbury line being held at the red signal due to the track circuit failure. I set the route through (since the track circuit failure occurred when a route was not set), and authorised 4E83 to pass the signal at danger. it did so, reached the next signal which was green, and came to a halt claiming that the signal was red! Cancelling the route caused a message in the message box to say 4E83 would receive an adverse signal change! It was very odd, I didn't test it much since I did not have a lot of time on my hands then, but I thought I should report it nonetheless. I will link two save games, a snapshot I had where I have not authorised 4E83 to pass signal at danger, and one where I have. I am not sure the points failure is related to the issue or not, but its so close to the affected area I thought I should mention it anyway. Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Not that this isn't a bug, nor that this isn't really off-topic, but IRL it's against the rules to call a route over a track circuit showing occupied anyway (just by the by, so to speak): Quote:

Ran both saves. The 0300 save, I couldn't reproduce the issue. As per Rule Book module S5 (As TUT has posted), instructed driver to pass signal and examine line. he stopped at the PLS and I called him passed again. Train came to a stand at 381, called in with no obstruction found and I cleared the signal for him. He moved on. With the other save. I found that asking driver to shunt forward triggered him to call in and declare "no obstruction found" and then he accepted the signal. But, before that I was stuck in a loop of asking him to pass signal at danger, and him phoning in again saying stopped at signal 381.

Two reasons not to call a route over a failed track: 1. You might inadvertently get a call-on route and the signal clear when you don’t want it to. 2. You will route lock beyond the failure. Log in to reply |

I will add though... In reference to the KGX version history. Kings Cross won't be receiving any further attention for the foreseeable.
