Hello - not sure if this has been reported yet, but I haven't noticed it on any of the threads I've read. Down trains stopping at Great Coates seem to stop rather too far along, fouling the level crossing, and (if the train is a 153, at least) with the TC opposite the platform clear. I used to drive down Woad Lane every day as part of my commute, and quite frequently would be stuck in a queue of cars across the crossing when 2F93 came through (in fact, knowing the train was due, I was always slightly nervous at the number of drivers who stopped their cars on the crossing whilst queuing). I can assure you that a down train can stop at Great Coates without passing M4 or fouling the crossing. More than once, I'd look up the line when driving over the crossing and see the train just coming to a stand in the platform, the crossing sequence not yet having started. Log in to reply |

I spotted this on a mplay last week and put it on bug board, pleased you've confirmed my suspicions. Thanks, not the most obvious one to notice.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. Log in to reply |
