Following on from yesterdays error with trains entering from Longsight onto the Goods Line towards Piccadilly. Today I tried turning off all the ARS in Longsight and Piccadilly and still got the error, but if I did a fresh start without ARS then the error did not occur, so it would appear to be ARS related.

I was following this thread as I had also started running through the timetable with ARS switched on. I chose to save just before before 0359 and 5C31's entry at Longsight. It entered with no problems at all so not necessarily an ARS issue. I include the save to compare with error save. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Planotransitophobic! Log in to reply |

For some reason, the issue only appears to affect certain users- they can reproduce it every time, but others can't. Meld- it isn't a TT issue; my 2017 TT validates fine, but still throws an error for certain users. Mantis 31048 raised. Phil-jmw, bnsf734, could you let us know what OS you're running, and anything else that might be unusual about your machines? Just to see if there's anything in common?

Each individual schedule to use ARS around this area is best to validate the individual schedule as this inserts a load of line codes / locations automatically. However even if you dont it still validates the TT overall but then when you use ARS it doesn't quite work properly. I found this out a long time back with Edinburgh, the TT was fine but ARS wasn't quite working.

For the train that was causing the issue in my 2017 TT, I've also just validated the schedule manually and then gone to run an Analysis to be absolutely certain. I therefore don't believe that an error by the TT writer is causing the bug.For some reason, the issue only appears to affect certain users- they can reproduce it every time, but others can't.Think the point Meld was making has been missed.

I've validated the MP77 entries - for a quick fix, make the Path at Longsight North '77'and Line 'GL' and it should work. I'll run through and validate all the Longsight entries and re-release which should hopefully sort things! (Incidentally, validation for all the Longsight MP7x entries puts the signal number in the Path for Longsight North which may be the issue). There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

I am on Windows 10 with an HP laptop. Incidentally I have made a start on a matching Manchester East timetable today which should chain to Piccadilly. I think I have all the information I need. The website CharlwoodHouse.co.uk has all the train running times available from 27 February so it should work out.

Only issue with doing that is that ARS will route to the Fast Line, which is fairly unusual from Longsight for the majority of moves. Not a problem under user control as you can send things wherever you choose, but it could cause issues if ARS is sending stuff down the fast line, especially as some times from Longsight to Picc are fairly generous and so platforms may not be available on arrival.

Well, being the glutton for punishment I am - I'm now creating a modified version of this to reflect operations during 'Lockdown 2'. On the face of it, this should be slightly easier than my original 2020 TT with fewer services, but with most operators running longer services it does introduce a few headaches in Piccadilly as platforming becomes a little more of a challenge. It should see pressure reduced on certain junctions through the sim, which will at least allow the player to concentrate on the Piccadilly station and throat.

A very minor bug to report with an otherwise excellent timetable... 6F34 has N@20 on its stop at Brindle Heath Loop - however, this means it stops a little bit too close to 514 signal. While 0F34 does fit once it's joined, while it's joining the loco just overhangs the previous track circuit. I suspect changing the stopping position to N@25 will solve everything...? Many thanks to Splodge for putting together a very enjoyable timetable - I've been running a private game with some friends and we've all really enjoyed the absolute madness thanks to the level of service through Piccadilly!
