Train Doesn't Draw All The Way Up To Tram Inn TI18 Sig When At Danger 19/04/2020 at 17:57 #126024

675 posts 		6V80 departing Tram Inn DGL, I'm trickling him down to TI18 Sig (and then TI17 Sig) to wait 1V66 clearing the block to Pontrilas, but he doesn't draw all the way down to TI18 Sig. He stops half way out of the loop, claims to be calling in from TI18 Sig but there is a clear track circuit between him and the signal. Defensive driving?

I've attached a save.

Regards,

Phil.

(The loop was lifted at least a decade ago)

I wonder if they miss the loop for regulating in real life? I've run nearly 6 hours of this sim over the last two days and used it three times. It's a long way from Hereford to Panteg with the uneven length block sections and the loop there is shorter than Tram Inn.

They do miss it, and I've no doubt when the Hereford - Shrewsbury resignalling happens at some point they'll restore loops evenly spaced, similar to what they did on the North Wales Coast.

That would make sense.
