Can anyone asist please.
I am currently running the Kings Cross 1985 7.21 along with Kurts add on number one. A mammoth timetable of over 1300 trains.
I have a problem that I have never encountered before in that I have got the warning about the 2nd train overkength for Platform 10.
2R401 05:25 from Royston is sitting in Platform 10 awaiting the arrival of the 2R411 05:55 from Royston to join with it and form 2R02 07:07 Kings Cross to Royston.
I have managed to get 2R411 as far as signal 292 the entrance to Gasworks tunnel but do not know how to get it any further.
Is it something to do with the yellow arrowhead symbol that has appeared in the screen at Copenhagen tunnel just above the Up Slow Line.
I have looked in the Wiki and it alerts you to the fact that this is telling me the trains combined will be overlength but do I need to do something with the timetable to get past this point
Any suggestions please.

Set the route, and authorise the driver to pass signal at danger when he calls you.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Have you tried using 'Shunt Forward' in the train list once 2R411 comes to a stop at signal 292? I think that might work.

Looking at the code I have for KX and S292 (which may not be the latest) there did seem to be an error in it.

Have reported on the bugboard.

Andy,
Ran it through again tonight and I had the same problem however followed your advice and authorised the driver to pass the signal......He followed my every wish. Thanks again but did I get penalties for that little move????

Shouldn't get a penalty as far as I'm aware.
