Sheffield 08-04-2015 SX WTT - a few queries

I've some observations/queries re the Sheffield 08-04-2015 SX timetable.

1. In the 0000 start version of the timetable, the 3 trains 6D94, 6E08 & 6E20 (all from Masborough Steel Terminal) have the Path Code (BL) missing from the Masborough JN section of their timetables. The timetable analyser reports Invalid Timetable Data which I believe prevents the trains from entering the sim. The 0400 & 1400 start versions of the timetable have the correct Path values.

2. Train 5P51 is too long to fit between signals 87 & 92 and has its rear end fouling access to/from the Sheffield Shunt Spur & Washer. The train is specified as "Class 144/158 3&2 (5 car)" with a length of 92m. Is this correct or is the track length wrong in the sim?

3. Train 1B64 (Manchester Airport - Sheffield, 2-car class 170, length 47m) arrives in Sheffield platform 5A at 07:01 and forms 1B65 which is a 4-car class 170, length 94m. I've checked both trains in the 08-04-2015 SX timetable of the Manchester Piccadilly sim and the formations are correct, so is there a missing Join at Sheffield?

Have you considered marking all the shunt moves as not running with ARS as they aren't in the train planning system? Extra realism. Extra work :)

To be fair, I only added that feature last week!

Lyn - having watched weeks of unplanned shunts at Sheffield it was the happiest compromise I could come up with. I know that the stock formation was correct, it has run out of the HS as early as 0130 and sat there all night long to make room for other units to be set up, it has to be very fluid, as the next day workings are decided by Northern Control. Most nights both these units arrive before 2300 and there just isnt enough space

I noticed most of the signallers prefer to work only 2/3 car sets at a time especially with the north end needing you to pull S147 off to allow any 4 car plus to fit in behind S142. Then there are the moves between the Fuel Road and the Sidings them selves.The top road of the 2 at Fuel road with the lower road representing the HS. The signaller sets route to P1A using headcode 0S00, however this only comes out beyond the handpoint to switch back into the sidings without entering the platform, but the headcode steps to the platform but nothing ever arrives so gets deleted

Another reason - I like to give a little to think about, I did consider doing a couple of nights variants with different shunts round the station to get from the Up Island Platforms to HS Just using FUEL & WASH TDs ;)
