Staffordshire FAQ

I had a TCF failures on the Up Slow and used the BLOK code to divert everything onto the Up Fast from Basford Hall. On doing this, trains TTs don't step up passing Little Bridgeford junction which has led to trains calling up about a wrong route later in the journey (4M49 at Rugeley North).

Additionally, when amending TTs (via F2) to bring a train back to its correct location I get a warning saying 'this train is about to enter at a different entry point. Do you wish to change the entry point?' despite not editing that part of the WTT - all I'm doing is using the 'set current/next location' button.

TD Berth issue at Signal SLS5567, I have a train 4S88 seeded there but when loaded the Headcode doesn't show. Have to manually put the TD in. Marked the Signal with a reminder.

Check the seed list in the messages window, should tell you why it hasnt seeded - ie bad timetable or more likely cannot seed with 6X65 occupying the section as well

This should be shortly before 4M49 calls wrong route - there will be other up trains in the area with incorrectly stepped TTs as well.

One issue is a missing label for the loop at Rickerscote, that location clearly states which line is the Down Penkridge and the Up Penkridge Slow but it's missing a label for the loop itself.

I have train 6K72 for Cliffe Vale - English China Clay, It forms 6G71 later to Bescot, I have a warning 'Train terminating with no onward working' is this correct? as I put Next Working to 6G71 to clear that warning and another pops up saying 6G71 is used anyway. Me thinking 6K72 would eventually fall off Sim upon arrival?

5B95 Bletchley to Bletchley is booked to stop on P4 at Stafford from 0455-0457. As you can see from the image it seemed to have decided to to overshoot the platform.. me thinking ah it's going early. I've attached a save before it happened, maybe cause of the signals been in auto?

How long is the platform and what is the stopping position of the train?

Another issue with English China Clay, that there is no option in the telephone to call up for trains arriving and the manual doesn't state anything.
So I routed 6K72 into English China Clay and got the following message:
05:44:58 6K72 did not have permission (English China Clay Sidings), meanwhile 6K72 did arrive ontime and also fell off the sim as it should.
