Both the labels for the IL between Salop and SSN and vice versa show DN F/S Ind. There's no UP label

Not sure if this is a bug or a sim limitation due to the way the Crewe platforms work, but I'm having a stab at creating a TT. As part of this I ran a long class 4 intermodal through platform 6 (full length) for a crew change. The train stopped at CE122 but didn't perform the change. Once signalled out towards the Up Fast, it moved over the various crossovers, blocking them, before stopping to perform the crew change with the loco theoretically way off the platform but with the rear of the train accommodated. Presumably this is due to the coding of standard stopping patterns - do I need to set a 'far end' stopping position for moves like this, or is it a bug? Also, in the other direction, if a train is signalled full length to CE151 no TRTS operates? There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Presumably this is due to the coding of standard stopping patterns - do I need to set a 'far end' stopping position for moves like this, or is it a bug?Not saying this is going to fully answer you here, however. Platform 6 is by default a near end stop position when traveling in the Up Direction, so in this case, yes, you'll need to select a Far End stop. This is the exception with platform stopping positions due to the point work in the middle of the platform. TRTS, having looked on Flickr, I'll agree that there should be a third TRTS indicator on the platform. Mantis 38864 applies (Which I've added while writing this post) James Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Splodge |

Aside from the fringe AB messages which come up in blue which are general simulation messages, all the rest are slot messages.

6F31 in the supplied TT ignores the Potteries Loop timing point despite being held at CE119, the TT simply updates to Crewe as it waits so I don't get the chance to tell the train to wait time. Also, I'm playing the 'Low' failures scenario but seem to be getting a disproportionate amount of failures in the Winsford panel area - 5 of the seven so far, the remaining two being in Coal Yard but on the Winsford boundary, the second of which occurred immediately after the first was repaired, on the same track section (TWD790) There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

In the same playthrough, using the 2015 appropriate era, I've set a route from the DFL at CE153 to CY52 on the slow line. CE153 ha cleared to a single yellow, and CE103 in the rear is flashing single yellow. However the previous signal CE107 is showing a solid double yellow indication

There are also quite a few combined track circuits in the Winsford area which may lead to getting more than what you would expect.

However the previous signal CE107 is showing a solid double yellow indicationThis is correct behaviour, The sequence is Y, FY, YY because of Signal 103 also having a flashing aspect for the route onto the Up Fast. This was a latter change, as the info I have makes a clear, but undated note, that the Flashing YY on CE103 is strapped out. For investigation, Mantis 38934, to look at why the route onto the Up Fast only has a flashing yellow approach sequence in the oldest era (Not suggesting there's an issue here, just uncertainty).

I have a couple of trains that need Run Rounds at Alsager Goods Loop unfortunately I can't seem to get a validation on the LE move. It seems to be missing location CE524 [Alsager Station GPL]. Could this location be added within the location please Modern Era 2016-2023. Too add I placed Alsager in the timetable and that also gives an invalid timetable error.

I'll log a ticket later. the correct locations are Alsager Goods Loop, Alsager Station, Alsager CE521, Alsager Goods Loop. I see the other way validates, so I've just missed something this way.

The big change would be that you wouldn't get the penalty for incorrect platform usage. James Log in to reply |

Finished the default timetable. Huge amount of work gone into this and it shows. Crying out for an early 80s maniac timetable chuckle, you get the feel of a lot of real-life stuff there that isnt heavily used any more That said By comparison Manchester Picc and approach is crazy busy and at the outer limit of what is achievable by 1 perso with ARS off, so swings and roundabouts.
