I've noticed that when signalling from W118 on the up Windsor slow to W96 on the up Windsor at West London Junction the signal clears straight away no matter how far in advance the signal is set. In real life it doesn't clear until we are just clear of the point work heading down towards Longhedge Junction.

W117 at Queenstown Road on the Down Windsor doesn't have approach control on a red signal but as a single yellow and clears when the train gets near the platform, however I cant remember what time period this simulation is currently wrote in and think this may have been a 2017 alteration.

Finally at Vauxhall on the down Windsor slow W87 is always at red until W97 is clear I've been held here loads doing empties out of Waterloo.

Tangential - sims which have multiple eras specify which era they're for. Wimbledon only has one era but it would still be very nice if the manual could say what that era is?

It's mentioned on https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=simulations:wimbledon:versions
Quote:
The supplied timetable is 2009; the simulation is 2014. While the timetable still works, there are conflicts at Clapham Junction P2 and the Up Windsor Slow due to the track layout in 2014. Trains for P2 can be swapped to P1 without penalty.

I have added a new "era" to Wimbledon for the Waterloo platform length increases and a couple of extra crossovers around QTRDBat. However, please note it is NOT the full resignalling of part of the throat at Waterloo as that is a rather large job given the complexity of the throat. Nevertheless, early testing of a 2019 timetable (compatible with Woking) shows it broadly works, albeit with a couple of tweaks or clashes here and there.

Does it have much of an effect on the International Terminal and thee signalling and points that have been changed there?
