Screenshot and save attached. Loader 4.6.6, sim 4.3 (not played with different loader versions this time!). I previously routed train 1M11 on the FL instead of SL (from Huntingdon to Biggleswade) to bypass a freight. Now, train 1P41 which is booked to go SL all the way, is also routed FL by ARS - at St. Neots. Bug? I can just cancel the route, set an SL route and 'Make train ARS' without any problem.\

If you can upload a screen grab of the open timetable that could be helpful. Remember to save without spaces in the file name. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Albert |

Thanks for the quick response - here it is. From the 2017 Austerity timetable. 1P45 does the same, so I also included a screenshot of that one.  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. AJP in games Log in to reply |

It seems to happen randomly because this train does not get routed onto the FL. (I have recently had similar random ARS issues at Bethnal Green on the Liverpool Street sim - core code issue?)  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. AJP in games Log in to reply |

Nothing obviously wrong with the timetable. Tested it myself with 10 trains from Connington and all ran as expected. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

In this save train 2P45 (booked SL) is 'giving priority to 1A70' on the FL. Maybe you can use this save to find out what is going wrong?

Maybe. However, this train gets routed by ARS from the FL into platform 2 at St. Neots rather than platform 1. Then the train spontaneously becomes non-ARS after leaving the station.

I've raised this issue before if only I could find it on the forum. I agree, its a bit non-intuitive there. It needs to be routed as in the attached.. Vince Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Then the train spontaneously becomes non-ARS after leaving the station.That one's correct. The "path" code at St.Neots is the track the train enters the station on, *not* the track that it travels from Huntingdon on. That's the case for nearly everything in Peterborough - it's partly because the sim dates back to before platform numbers could be used by the ARS logic. Log in to reply |

Just realized that 1P10 is a down train; I was confusing two issues. In the down direction the path and line at St.Neots should always be the same since there are no crossovers at the exit end of the station. The ARS data looks at the path, not the line, to select the platform. It could be made more specific, rejecting invalid combinations, but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do.

clive in post 111236 said:Just realized that 1P10 is a down train; I was confusing two issues.While Clive is generally correct, the way the timetable planners code down trains through St. Neots requires a little different handling to the usual. They can specify a line code of FL at Sandy and then a line code of SL at St. Neots but since there are no crossovers after St. Neots the train has to cross beforehand. So in this case the ARS looks at the departing line code (SL) instead of the arriving path (FL). But not only that, it is possible to start from Sandy on the slow, cross to the fast for the bulk of the journey, then cross back to the SL just before arriving at St. Neots. Thus it would be (path SL) Sandy (line FL); (path FL) St. Neots (line SL). SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
