From the save, talking 1S43 past sig P5 to examine the line, the train appears to find something in the 4-foot when it reaches the Keyham ground frame - train status is shown as "Moving at 0mph". The 'big hand from the sky' is needed to sort things out...

Also, with the unit trapped on the Gunnislake Branch, there appears to be no way to timetable the train to get the driver to obtain the token again to start the next service up the branch (2G74) - this is without the MoD train having appeared at Ernesette.

TIA.

I know what the problem is, I just don't know how to fix it.
However, if you set the route from P5 and then talk past it should be OK.

I don't understand the Gunneslake point. If there's a train on the branch then the token is out and that's that.

Due to the TCF, the 150 was stranded on the Gunnislake branch. Not shown in the previous save, the TCF remained in place long enough that 'Control' decided that 2P84 would terminate at SBV and form 2G74 from there. The driver changes ends but seems to forget that they need to retrieve the token that they replaced on arrival at SBV and just waits for hidden signal, P305X, to clear. There also appears to be no way of refusing trains from Ernesettle.

Right, there was an option to hold the train at Earnsettle but the conditions to display that option were not being met. As for the token, the sequence is started by a train arriving at the platform in the Dn direction, not a change of direction after arrival. The first I've fixed, the second I'm not sure how to.

Would telling the train to reverse before giving it a new timetable not make it arrive at the station again once it changes direction?
