Hi - I'm new to the Newport sim, and I'm having trouble with trains going to and from Patchway. For a train coming from Patchway, I give the slot by clicking signal 162 and the signal head turns white. All inbound trains except the first then get stopped at signal B118. Trains going to Patchway have the same problem, except they stop at signal B102 (I think it was). It seems as though the AI signaller at Bristol has fallen asleep at the switch... This happens in both of the supplied midnight start timetables. Has anybody else run into this? Thanks! Log in to reply |

I found no problems with Patchway. Have you read the Newport manual? It is quite comprehensive. Patchway is mention in it. https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=simulations:newport Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Last edited: 09/07/2018 at 11:42 by BarryM Reason: None given Log in to reply The following user said thank you: robfromcanada |

Yes, several times - there's a good chance I'm missing something simple so I wanted to be sure I had read everything a few times for plausible deniability. :) The manual mentions the points, which I've verified are normal; I've even tried locking them normal and the problem persists. In any case there's no problem granting the slot. Signals B118 and B102 aren't even on the panel; those are the next signals in the direction of Patchway. Log in to reply |

Firstly do you have TORR (Train Operated Route Release) enabled? It is one of the options you get when you are loading the sim? This should cancel the route once a train has passed the signal. Then, whether you have TORR enabled or not, does S162 remain white after the passage of the first train? If you have TORR enabled, TORR may not be coded for this signal. Either way you need to cancel the route manually (depending on how you have F3 set up either right-click on the signal or right-click and select cancel route). Although the signal still shows white on the panel, on the ground the signal has reverted to R behind the train which is why you need to cancel the route, You can then reset the route and the next train should proceed normally. Similarly for the other signal giving you problems. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 09/07/2018 at 16:28 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply The following user said thank you: robfromcanada |

TORR is disabled. I've cancelled signal 162 after the first train passes, and giving the slot again has no effect. I've also tried giving the slot with and without a route selected from signal 164, with and without the points at the end of the Down Goods locked normal, with and without a train standing at B118... no luck so far. I should have thought to do this earlier, but have now attached a save. 6B14 is approaching from Patchway in this save, and will come to a stand at B118 in a few minutes. Edit to add: I'll try it with TORR enabled in a day or two if I have a chance - no time tonight, I'm afraid. Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Well that's got me beat. Perhaps Karl (developer) can give us some advice.

I asked 6B14 to pass 162 at stop and it went on its merry way. I cancelled the routes from 162 to 196, then set the road again from 162 and the signals all cleared. I found no problems with the signals. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

Unless the solution is that they all have to be talked past B118, but that doesn't seem right. Log in to reply |

Hi, Sim 1.1b1 on Loader 4.11 - TORR On I'm running trains up the Down bore due to TCF. Down service from Patchway approaches. I pull 162 off to 'white' but hold 164 on. Down was then held at B118. I'll try to get a save for this if needs be. Thanks Jamie Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

Still working to reproduce this. Meanwhile, I've encountered another issue. 1L88 ran up the Down and has now ground to a halt at B101 @18:29:58. The previous Up, 1F29, passed Patchway at 18:26:32 (20L) having inspected & SOWC on the Up Severn Tunnel line and is now no longer in sim. Thanks! Jamie Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

If you cancel the route from 287 signal, then set a route from 187 to B101 it seems to wake the Bristol signaller up. I'll have a dig in the background as to why the off sim logic doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.

Thanks! That cured it. 1L88 seemed to have to get to Patchway before B101 was released for 2C87. Has it forgotten signalling blocks between Pilning and Patchway? Couldn't reproduce the last issue I reported, now... Jamie S (JAMS) Last edited: 05/04/2019 at 20:32 by 9pN1SEAp Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I've made further improvements to the Bristol Signaller in the update that has just been pushed out. I can't guarantee the changes will take affect on a game saved before the update.
