Crewe Some Issues

Through Acceptances
Through acceptances are placed between Sorting Sidings North & Crewe PSB and Sorting Sidings North & Gresty Lane. These will allow for a TD to step between the panels.

You can only use these through acceptances for trains which are traversing through the sidings to the adjacent workstation. Trains booked South Yard or Coal Sidings on the Sorting Sidings North - Crewe PSB section, and Warehouse Sidings on the Sorting Sidings North - Gresty Lane section MUST NOT use these through acceptances as this will prevent the train leaving the sim, and may let the train proceed to the adjacent workstation.

To use the through acceptances:

Hit RQST on the sending box. Both indications will flash white. You may cancel this at any time by Right Clicking on the RQST roundel.
The Receiving box will press ACCP, and both indications will go solid white. You may cancel this at any time by Right Clicking on the ACCP roundel.
The through acceptance will automatically cancel itself after the passage of a train.

Thank you for your reply. By simplified tt, I am alluding to the tt that was issued recently that did not have an awkward joining of locomotives at the start. Anyway I am surprised about your answer to the joining problem at Crewe. I was under the impression that many people were having this problem. I can tell you that all the joins at crewe station have the same problem. The locomotive splits and joins ok but once the join has been achieved there is always insufficient space at the rear or front of the train to fit everything into the platform length.

Its difficult to find out which timetable I used initially as after the first run I save it to a name with a start date.

The timetable I was using which caused so many problems with joining at Crewe Station was the one labelled 21 July 2023.
