SimSig South Humberside

Simulation Options

The simulation has multiple Scenarios and Options (selected at Start-up only).

Simulation Era

There are two eras available, a modern (2000) and a 1980 era. Ensure the era appropriate for your timetable as Entrances and exits change from era to era.

Difficulty Setting

Beginner No failures but a few delays

Standard Up to 2 failures active and some delays

Difficult Up to 4 failures with a higher failure rate and longer failures. Also more delays.

One of those days Standard level of failures but lots of delays

Gremlins Standard level of delays but up to 7 failures

Developer No Failures or delays. Intended for timetable writers and for testing.

TSR (Temporary Speed Restriction)

None No TSRs

Rare TSRs may be present but only a couple

Common More TSRs may be present

Adverse Weather Conditions

Affects train acceleration/deceleration and signal sighting distance. Turn on to add more difficulty.

TORR (Train Operated Route Release)

With TORR on, as a train travels over a route and each track circuit is vacated, the route through the vacated track circuit is automatically released. With TORR off, the route from entry to exit signal is retained and the signaller must clear each route manually after a train has passed before setting it again for the next train. Leaving TORR off increases the difficulty.

Call Frequency for LCs

The frequency of the calls from people waiting to use a level crossing can be altered. This also affects the frequency of the use of Keadby Bridge.

None No calls from crossings or Keadby Bridge.

Rare Some calls from crossings

Common More frequent calls from crossings and Keadby Bridge

Simulation Scenarios

Scenario Description
Scunthorpe Station Scunthorpe station is closed. Trains are diverted via transfer lines.
Scunthorpe P1 Scunthorpe platform 1 closed. All trains must use platform 2.
Immingham West Up Line Up line closed between Humber Road Junction and Immingham West Junction. All trains must use the down line.
Grimsby P1 Grimsby platform 1 closed. Trains to and from Cleethorpes must use platform 2.
Ulceby North to Conoco West Line closed between Ulceby North and Conoco West Junctions. All Immingham trains must use the Grimsby light railway.
Barnetby Goods line closed Goods line between Brocklesby and Barnetby closed.
Barnetby platform 2 and 3 Barnetby platforms 2 and 3 closed. Trains must use platform 1 or 4 instead.
Random Selection – 2 Random selection of 2 scenarios
Random Selection – 4 Random selection of 4 scenarios
Absolute Mayhem All of the above set scenarios. This is only recommended for multiplayer games or the insane!
Elsham and Appleby closed Elsham and Appleby section is closed for crossing replacement.
NOTE: This will only work with Timetables specifically designed for this scenario. See manual for details.
