I'm playing the August 2022 timetable, which I have to say, is much to my liking.

Now. I have 4O46 waiting at Stoke-on-Trent station, where there is a crew change scheduled for about 04:34. However' in the Train List, you can see that 4O46 is 'WaitingRight Away' at longport Jn.

Do you think that someone is confused?

I have just checked the Timing Codes. If 4O46 is due for a crew change, is the timing code correct?


Update: It'6 6 minutes since the relief crew were due to arrive and they have'nt, so I signalled the train to continue its journey

the system thinks that the train is in the previous location where there was a conditional stop ( *) and has nothing to do with the crew change



Here (in this sim) it often happens to me that the train "loses" the location when it has a train pass on the main instead of on the side/loop when it had a marked conditional stop (*) and each time the location must be corrected manually

Mantis 38189 for investigation.

I'll take a look at this, and investigate further. It looks like when a train is booked Longport Junction, its not stepping up if its sent on the Main instead.

The whole thing is wrong anyway because 4O46 doesn't get Crew relief at Stoke. We work that from Birmingham to Trafford Park and back to Nuneaton, diverted via SOT once every 6 weeks.

Freight workings are very difficult to find actual crew workings for, and as you probably know from experience things can vary week by week depending on engineering work etc.

The TRUST schedule for it that week had it shown to stop for a crew change so it has that in the simulation.

"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer

Timetable is based on Thursday 25th August 2022, and 4O46 was on a overlay schedule From 23/08/22 to 26/08/22 diverted via Macclesfield & Stoke-on-Trent because of engineering works. With info I have to hand in my notes 4O46 stopped for a Crew Change. Also as mentioned earlier up in the thread if you skip the loop it indeed doesn't step up and you have to manually set the timetable to the next location.
