Potential Bug: No path from Ravenhead Junction Up to St Helens Central 09/01/2024 at 22:04 #155015

I'm currently attempting to write a timetable based on the 1994 WTT. I've started off experimenting with some of the freight workings, notably 6M51, which runs round at Ravenhead Junction and then heads to the Cowley Hill.

The timetable fails to validate, and states "No paths found from entrance Ravenhead Junction to location St Helens Central". I've tried removing St Helens Central and having it direct to Cowley Hill, however this still fails to validate.

The same issue also arises when attempting to path a train from Cowley Hill to St Helens Junction. Whether there are any more similar occurances to the sidings, I'm unsure of.

Could someone please look into this? Thanks.

Mantis 40058 for an investigation into the missing paths. Thanks for reporting this.

I've discovered two new things:

In the 2014 version there's no option to reverse a train behind LL1577 (position light on the UM) in the timetable. The timetabling section the St Helens wiki seems to suggest that there should be provision for "all feasible shunts" so I'm assuming this was an oversight?

Train describers don't step from LL9588 to LL3584 either (wrong direction on the DCMS), although I'm assuming this could be intentional as its a wrong direction move? I was under the impression that TDs always stepped with main signals.

Please could you investigate them as well? Thanks.

Not only LL9588 to LL3584 the TD does not step, but also LL1577 to L5579, LL1577 to LL9591

Thanks, Mantis 40093 for the reversing location and Mantis 40094 for the TD steps

As LL1577 is a shunt signal the latter two may be correct, but I've asked the question on the ticket.
