Hi, Due to points failure at Guide Bridge, I have amended timetable for 6E33 to loop Denton Jn - Ashton Moss - Baguley Fold - Philips Park South - Ashburys - Guide Bridge instead of the more direct route. Driver has supoosedly acknowledged GSM message. However, on arrival at DJ3 it still calls wrong route causing me to abandon the amended timetable - grr! Thanks Jamie Post has attachments.

Always happy to contribute to the corpus of competent coding :) I wonder how likely it is that my driver would have knowledge of the Philips Park South curve or if I should have waited to find a pilot? Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

Or just fancy a change of scene (and perhaps some brownie points with the local yard manager). Sample dialogue: Yard supervisor (on the phone to the Area Freight Assistant): "Any idea when we'll get rid of those tanks for Cambridge Street?" Reply unintelligible, then: "They won't all fit on 23 road, they're going to end up blocking the yard!" An expletive or two on hanging up. Target 3 Driver Supervisor (knowing Stonebridge men didn't sign the Midland): "Do you know the road? Driver: "Yeah, we always used to go over there. It's all colour light now ain't it? Yeah, we'll be all right." * Target 3 was the Willesden area 'trip & shunt' loco.

kbarber in post 120587 said:You'd be surprised what drivers know when they're on a finishing turn.There is a tale quoted by David L. Smith in "Legends of the Glasgow and South Western Railway" (David & Charles, 1980) about a time in the early LMSR days when some of the G&SW turns were booked to run between Carlisle and Glasgow via the ex-Caledonian main line over Beattock rather than the G&SWR line via Kilmarnock. In this case a former G&SWR crew were routed back over Beattock. The author writes: "On one occasion Jock Paterson reached Law Junction (just south of Wishaw on the Caley main line) to find unfamiliar signals off for him. 'Whaur's this we're gaun?' he demanded. 'We've pitten ye the North road,' the signalman explained. 'But I've never been ower the North road,' says Paterson. 'Ah go on,' replies the signalman, 'it's no far an' they'll pit ye back doon at Wishaw Central.' So Jock went on and managed it. 'Ye've tae watch.' he told me, 'yon's a gey steep bit yonder at Shieldmuir.' It is in fact 1 in 50." Happy days. “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 Log in to reply |
