Had an odd event - 5K62 which forms the 15.23 2K62 service Markinch - Edinburgh decided arbitrarily to duplicate itself in the platform and hence two "2K62s" were merrily making their way towards Edinburgh.

I restarted at the last savegame, but was unable to repeat the occurrence.

Any ideas how/why this would happen?

When you say 2 trains was the found in the f2 listing? Or did you just have 2 TDs the same, so maybe one train was misdescribed.

No, Peter, the train list showed two identical trains. Most odd.

If you can't replicate the incident it'll have to go down as 'one of those things'

Yes, quite. In the unlikely event I get a repeat, i'll get screenshots.

Peter, what happens is 5K62 is waiting to reverse on the down at Markinch Reverse for 1B31 running late. When 1B31 departs, 5K62 gets the signal to crossover, the new TD for 5K62 (2K62) is misdescribed to 1B31. No TD is given to 2K62.

Barry,

Can you give me precise details about which signal the TD were at just before the event happened and where the trains were etc. So I can try and reproduce and see why it happened.

Thanks

Ah I know what the problem is- I've omitted the TC overide buttons at Markinch and your problem is an in-direct conseqence.
