Traction Inconsistency - double-end loco split 27/01/2024 at 15:12 #155195

Currently writing a timetable for Oxted and have a charter (Top n Tailed with a Cl50 and Cl73) arrive into P2 and split.
I have timetabled a loco detachment at both ends (50 from the front, 73 from the rear) and have no issues with the 50 on diesel, but when using the analyser, there is a traction inconsistency for both the 73 light loco and the full consist once the loco reattaches of "Had -, wants 3D at Oxted"

For context, the train arrives top+tail, the class 50 shunts away and the 73 runs round to run to East Grinstead on 3rd rail/diesel.

Is there any way to fix this?

TIA

The DER and DEF activities will leave the remaining portion unpowered. To solve the issue, use DF or DR as appropriate for the first loco dropping off, then use DEF or DER for the second.
