Hi folks,

I've got a points failure at the eastern end of Topsham, with 2A07 originally stuck at Topsham, heading to Exeter and then Paignton. It looks as though the only signalled move that I can do for trains heading to Exmouth, is to terminate them at either Exeter Central / St James Park / Polsloe Bridge and reverse them there. I'm not entirely sure what's realistic though, can anyone here give me some advice?

So you have 1 train stuck at Topsham, nothing else can go down branch. Personally, I would have the next Exmouth Working reverse at Exeter Central, to pick up 2A07s Timetable, and give that trains timetable to the one at Topsham and send it back down to Exmouth. Continue shuttling ex-2A07 between Topsham and Exmouth, picking up consecutive workings reversed at Exeter Central.
