Attempting to signal 6X06 from Up Slow D269 signal to Platform 1 Doncaster, D279 Signal. Comes up no overlap available, yet the overlap is free.

Saved game attached.

[Later thought] Does D269 only have a route into Plat 1 via the country crossover just after D269 as that overlap on D269 is locked with a route set to D269?

Yes just discovered that is the reason.

I seem to remember trying to signal a train into P1 from D269. The route wouldn't set until the train had entered the TC between signals D269 and D268 (on the Up Slow) and actually stopped.

Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

Mantis 39975. Thanks for finding the cause - the overlap on 279 does also need an extra subroute over the facing points reversed too though!
