Issues with phone calls to Nene CS not displaying properly 18/07/2020 at 23:46 #129745

1120 posts 		I'm currently running the 6 day 1970s timetable and a number of times I've noticed that when I call the Nene CS shunter and it says I'm connected, it has a blank space and won't let me ask the shunter for permission for any trains.

It doesn't happen to all trains but it has happened to a number of them that I think there's a issue, it's like a 70% to 30% chance that it happens for some reason.

I'm running Peterborough V4.1 Build 4 in old era, Loader V5.3 and I've attached a save below of the game I'm running.

I don't understand why there's a issue because I'm not asking for permission to signal a train to the CS when I've got a train ready to depart.

The phone message options for Nene CS will only display when platforms 4 or 5 are occupied.

That's deliberate, though I don't remember why and am thinking about changing it one day. In Mantis 17379 I muse about allowing it when a route is set into the platforms from the north end with a train approaching.

Also see https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/47440 and Mantis 19527.

Not sure how Peterborough PSB does it but if you do allow calls to the Nene CS to be done as above then shouldn't it also apply for services terminating from the south eg the FCC services that terminate on Platforms 4/5 and head off into the sidings upon arrival?

688 posts 		The main 'issue' with calling up for trains that terminate at Peterborough from either direction is that the train into the sidings does not actually exist until the train has terminated and formed the next working.
You have to get a red before you can get any other colour
