Stockport FAQ

Ensure you've clicked both ends of the points to return them to the Normal position, you should be able to right click the roundel then.

There doesn't appear to be a valid path for a train stopping at Denton.

On using dentin stn jcn > Denton > Denton junction, a no valid path message is received.

Not a bug, more a request. Can a list of clearing points be added to the manual. In some cases I am able to give OOS but not accept another train, mainly around EY1 and 2. This seems strange as OOS shouldn't be given until the clearing point is clear to accept another train

If you can log for me the blocks that this is occouring on, I can get it fixed. Geneally speaking, the cleaing point should be the fist ovelap marker past the signal. The same point that you can accept another train.

What is the correct location to use for reversing trains behind the shunts at edgeley no2?

Trains booked to stop at Denton Station fail to stop and proceed on with the stop still shown on their timetable.

Fixed for the next update.

Here's one - trains signalled from down slow at Edgeley 2 into the Down Goods at Stockport don't receive any form of approach control, you get brought down in the normal sequence to a danger aspect at ST2-A. I thought it was the case and then it happened to me twice last night to confirm.

I would assume this applies to the Down Main as well, as they are all 15mph routes from the junction.

The line between Ash Bridge to Denton Jn have had the 5MPH TSR removed, so now insted of doing 650m of 5mph, it will be 55mph like it is going other direction (Oops)

Did this get missed or is it just a slightly bigger fix?

Having a Track Section Failure on the Up Fast at Heaton Norris, I tried interposing BLOK on the entry berth on the Up Fast and collaring the first signal. Virtual signaller at Manchester Piccadilly ignored both and still sent trains on the Up Fast rather than the Up Slow. Is it intended to add this functionality?

For info I have AB switched off.

Great sim!

Just noticed this one...

In the messages window, when a train passes Cheadle Village Junction in the Down Direction, I get a message with exactly the same time saying that the train has passed Sharston Junction, e.g.

18:01:40 2D43 passed Cheadle Village Jn on time
18:01:40 2D43 passed Sharston Jn 1 min(s) early

Is Sharston Jn the start of the double line on the approaches to Northenden Jn? My copy of Trackmaps seems to show it as being essentially the same as Northenden Jn, but I think this might be an error.
