Well I take pride in keeping any delays to a minimum when playing MP, I just think it's only polite to mention if one has to step back from SimSig.

Session number 2 kicked off with all possessions lifted, with a 5mph ESR at Edgeley No 1. A broken rail has also been reported by a member of off duty staff in the Hunts Cross area. We are anticipating delays on the Warrington Central corridor due to this. 29 people in attendance!

Fair - I thought the TT was starting a bit later and that the possession would continue through the day, though TBH I think it would be unplayable due to the layout.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

Thanks to all of you involved with the setup and running, Wheel of Misfortune was a great feature, hearing all the saftey coms between the signallers and the MOMs. Loved the scenarioss too From Shopping trolley on the track at Salford to Naked and Drunk Pensioners on the early morning Bournemouth train.

Love it! Felt very realistic. be fun to do another one, plenty of room for expansion to the sim we did today! the WCML can be chained to it as could lime street, so would love to see another one happen!I think https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/50546 got close to this, that was a good chain and a late night for many! 1) Have the simulations got compatible timetables (Rugby North and further South don't have ones compatible with further North (Yet! - We are working on this slowly but surely)) 2) How many players can we realistically get for each session, and how many panels can we cross cover or put into ARS if we need to. Admittedly in today's game we could have put Huyton and Edge Hill on (Assuming we had timetables) and been fine staffing wise. 3) How many LOMs can we get for the session, we work on a basis one person looks after up to 5 sims each. If the session goes over 8 hours, you move toward needing multiple LOMs per "LOM slot". The 24 hour game for example we had 8 people involved in that role over the day. All that said, I think everyone involved has thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the three games so far (1 x 24 hour, and 2 x 8 hour) we've run, and we're looking to continue running them as and when we can. ** Edit ** I just had a dig through the 24 hour session, we had 22 panels to cover across 24 hours. Assuming you staffed them on an 8 hour roster in real life, you need 66 staff for 24 hours. We had 67 individuals join the game. So the figures stack weirdly well!
