2B14 and permissive working at Waverley

You need to operate the track circuit overide switch (the red button at the buffer stops) in order to release the permissive route. Its a form of confirmation.

Right. Thanks for your swift response.
I can see the orange roundel and also several others. Don't recall having to use them on the .exe version although they are on there. Perhaps I just talked them past the signal as I did in this case, which is probably not the way to do it. Could you do this in reality or would the TC overide need to be used?

You'd be having a tea and no biscuits meeting if you started talking passed signals without good reason. And there are only 15 goods reasons.

Seems you have to operate the override when ARS is off. when ARS is on, it sets.

I had ARS off and didn't need to operate the override.

The only save I have is just a couple of minutes too late but it does show the override isn't operated.

Bugsy's settings are ARS on, TORR on and selected ARS off at Edinburgh (and some other areas)

It's because the signals are last wheel replacement and as there are still wheels there (on the train that's been left behind) the route needs to be manually pulled.

I can't say I've ever seen last wheel route replacement, last wheel signal replacement is far, far more common in situations as these and doesn't exhibit the behaviour shown - although I profess I don't know the specifics for Edinburgh...

Do these comments also apply to the situation with 2B14 (mentioned in my original post above with a save attached) where I had to clear the route from signal E486 into platform 17 as it didn’t release automatically?
