Just to ask, can you check if the overlap from D308 to D298 on the up Scunthorpe is a track section too long. I'm sure you could run trains up to D298 while trains were arriving into P1 & P3 Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

The control table for 308 to 298 is missing but I suspect it'll be the same. However, I will ask. It's also possible it's changed at some point.

I can confirm that it is possible to signal a train from D308 to D298 and signal a train into 1 or 3 at the same time currently in the PSB.

Might not be available on the older era in the screenshot. We'll see what Geoff comes back with when he asks. Log in to reply |

The overlap beyond D298 holds 5644 and 5643 T/C on the Thorne slow (2464 points normal). The work to introduce platform 0 did not affect this. When platform 0 was introduced T/Cs 5644 and 5647 towards platform 0 are held with 2464 points in Reverse. It has always been possible to signal a train to D298 and a train into platform 1 or 3 at the same time.

There seems to be a missing flashing yellows route from D300 - Platform 3. I can confirm this happens IRL but I cant seem to get it to occur on the sim.

I’m currently working my way through the 2019 timetable and have come across a slight problem shortly after 10.15. 4R79 has recently left the Down Decoy sidings and is heading for Adwick via the DG line. According to the train’s tt it goes via WS1. However, if I set the route into WS1 from the train's current location (see screenshot), I can’t get to the DG line. I'm going to alter the tt and then set the route for the train via WS2. But is this me misreading the timetable or is the tt incorrect? I’ve had a look through the FAQ posts and can’t see anything reported about this. .....  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Or go via 2WG, just as valid.

A number of trains that leave platform 1 and head towards Retford, according to the tt, are to be sent via the ESL and not the Down Fast, even though there's no sign of a train approaching Doncaster from the North. Is there a particular reason for this. Just wondered. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |

The likelyhood is that the trains you've questioned were planned that way for consistency to maintain the timetable pattern, or because it leaves an available non stop path in, Whether utilised or not. If nothing else is about, there's nothing to stop you running them FL out of Doncaster "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: bugsy |

Proceeds from the capture and selling of these ducks went to the poor in Doncaster. By the end of the 18th Century the decoys had gone and a lot of the Carrs were drained and became farm land. By the time the railways appeared there was a woodland called Decoy Wood that the railway ran through. Near this location there was a level crossing that was named after the wood called Decoy Bank Gates, probably the start of the railway naming the area Decoy.Just a quick one, does anyone know the origin of how the “Decoy” yards ended up with that name? Anything to do with confusing the Luftwaffe in WW2 perhaps?The area was built on marshland (Carrs - hence potteric Carr, black carr, Carr loco, loversall Carr, Carr hill and Bessecarr). The gentry went hunting for ducks and similar game in Decoys (hides) which gave the area its name. The yards predate both world wars Decoy Bank Gates was between D254/256 & D240/242 on the Up East Slow/Up Fast. Retired Professional Railwayman (1981-2023).
