This was going to start just being about Signal CE525, however on a little further investigation, I've found that the issue is wider spread A train which stops at any of the UP signals on the Main line on Panel A does not phone in to report that it is waiting at a red signal. At first I had thought that it was just CE525 that was at fault, I had a signal failure of CE509, so was waiting for the train at CE525 to phone in to give him permission to pass signal at danger and it never came. I then loaded a fresh blank version up, entered a train from Dumfries and found the same thing, no phoncecall from CE525. Dropping this train forwards I then found that another signal also didn't give phonecalls. I've then tested all the main signals on Panel A up to and including Carlisle station and have a list of the signals that you don't receive phonecalls from. This is in the 2000s era sim I note that posts 111047 and 111833 in the Carlisle Issues thread touches on a few of these signals in the 1980s era. I have briefly tested a couple signals in 1980s and 2016 eras and have found that it seems to be the same, no phonecalls from Panel A The list of signals in the 2000s is: CE335 Down Main on Panel B at the Panel Boundary CE336 Up Main on Panel B at the Panel Boundary CE438 Up Main Caldew Jn CE462 Up Main Kingmoor Loop CE463 Up Pass Loop Kingmoor Loop CE483 Up Main CE489 Up Main CE493 Up Main CE495 Up Main CE497 Up Main CE501 Up Main Floriston LC CE504 Up Main CE509 Up Main Mossband Jn CE524 Up Main Gretna Jn CE525 Up Dumfries Gretna Jn CE533 Up Main Quintinshill Loops CE534 UPL Quintinshill Loops CE542 Up Main CE544 Up Main CE546 Up Main Loader Version 4.11 Sim Version 4.1 Log in to reply |

The developer can nominate track circuits on which red signal reporting starts or finishes. Generally it's turned off on the first fringe track (because the train is off-sim and wouldn't be calling this signal box) and then turned on on the first track controlled by this box. By the sound of it, the developer forgot to turn it back on again. Just explaining this in case it helps with simplifying the reporting to "from X to Y" rather than listing signals individually - if, indeed, that is the pattern.

Thanks for the insight there Geoff. To me there did seem to be a pattern in that it was every signal on the Up lines to Carlisle station apart from those that are designated Good lines (originating from Longtown Sidings and Carlisle Yard) Norman, I acknowledged that there has been reports of this before, however having looked at posts that raised issues since the release of V4.1, I could only find information relating to 2 or 3 signals that trains wouldn't call in at rather than an entire panel of signals in 1 direction Log in to reply |
