I’m playing the excellent 1991 timetable and encountered a problem at Retford.
I thought that I would post this so that anyone else playing this timetable is forewarned.

6E83 is trundling along nicely towards Retford platform 2 where it divides and the dropped portion is joined by 0D09 which enters from Worksop. If you adhere to 0D09’s timetable and set its route into P2 before 6E83 arrives, you will not be able to carry out the Station duties required. I found this out the hard way.
On the re-run, I had to hold 0D09 back and wait until the front portion of 6E83 had departed (I set the route into the Babworth Loop because of passing train 1S23), then had to manually set the points and talk 0D09 past the red signal D150 so that it would join the dropped portion of 6E83 waiting in P2. Trying to set the route into P2 wouldn’t work.

Attached is a save at 12:40 for those wishing to run it.
