I am compiling a May 1982 Timetable for London Bridge ASC Mini. There is a WTT working from London Bridge (Brighton Side) out behind L1490 shunt on No 5 Down. The MLV Parcel working then reverses back Up the UP Passenger Loop from L1490 and continues to Charing Cross. It is a signalled move, but I cannot for the life of me get the move written into my timetable. Anyone any ideas?

There appears to be missing routes from London Bridge LL (Entry) -> London Bridge L1490 -> London Bridge HL and the reverse
Raised as Mantis 36795 for the mini sim and Mantis 36796 for the maxi sim

I cannot get a loco to run around its train in Platform 2 at London Bridge, which was a common move up to 2000 before they started 'top n tailing' engineers trains that ran via London Bridge. I can do it by F2/Signalling Options/reverse direction. You could add to the Mantis number similar faults to L1490, with L1488 on No 1 down at London Bridge, cannot reverse a loco from London Bridge via L81 on the Cannon Street reversible. It was never possible to do it via L91 or L67 as the locking didn't allow it.
