Absolute Block section 22/09/2023 at 12:35 #153386

Can anyone please advise how to clear the signals protecting the ABS sections between Litchfield and Alrewas in both directions. I have followed the manual instructions as in requesting Line Clear and then showing train on line, but the protecting signals will not clear. Is there anything else I should be doing?
Any help greatly appreciated.

If for example, you had a train traveling on the down from Lichfield towards Alrewas you can do the following:
Request line clear at the Lichfield end by left clicking the green "C" roundel,
Grant the line clear at the Alrewas end by left-clicking the green "C" roundel,
Then you can set the route from Lichfield TV6 signal to TV7 signal and then TV7 to the Grey "DM" arrow adjacent to the signal,
Send train on the line at Lichfield by left clicking the red "O" roundel,
Acknowledge train on the line at Alrewas by left-clicking the red "O" roundel.

It is covered in more detail on the wiki.

Have you set it to Train On Line before clearing the signal? If so, that'll be the issue- the block needs to be at 'Line Clear' to set the route into the section, you then set it to TOL as the train enters the section.
