In fact it is 0:15 now and I already handled 15(!) trains. This is a realy good multiplayer timetable, I really like the addition of fueling and washing the trains. but it can give you troubles already from 0:00 hour onwards :P. ...oOo... Ray Crossing box keeper Username: Ray Post Number: 11 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Sunday, 16 April, 2006 - 07:33 pm: The location notes for this timetable seem to suggest that the signal controller has some discretion about moving stock from fuel to washing and then to parking. But how can this be, if the stock disappears from the train list on entry to these locations ? Also, for such a complex timetable, its a pity it cant be saved. If I feel I am getting into a snarl, I like to return to a previously saved position and correct moves. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 107 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Sunday, 16 April, 2006 - 07:50 pm: The 'disappearing' train into siding 6 or COldham "bidi" should reappear after 15 minutes. (5E082 becomes 5E083 for example.) This is governed by the rules, and it's by saving a game that the rules mess up, and you get the same stock twice. Unfortunately it would be too complex to arrange it so you have a choice over whether to fuel or wash first. If you decide to reverse the order, you may have a situation where the stock goes in one siding and comes out another! But where you have discretion is which to deal with first, and organising the various stock around the sidings. In addition, you should not take the siding allocation too literally. You may find stock scheduled to use the arrival siding at the same time, for example. As controller, you have to decide how to handle that. Part of the fun though, is getting in a mess and then trying to get out of it. Remember you can edit 'live' timetables, if you need a train to go somewhere it's not expecting.

Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 108 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Sunday, 16 April, 2006 - 07:58 pm: AMENDMENT TO NOTES Please note, that on starting a new simulation, you must put a reminder on siding 6 and Coldham "bidi", as both contain trains. In fact the former contains 3 trains. This is a break in the one train rule, but when you will get to the other end of the day, you will find 2 of these trains knocking about outside waiting their turn. 0H42 is in Coldham, and 5H85, 5E08 and 5H44 are in CS6. ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 312 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 12:37 am: kurt I have some trouble getting trains (or actually locs) out of coldham BIDI when they are late running. 0H483 and 0H012 both never came from the tanking plate. Would it help if their entry time was --:--? (thus no entry time) I have a feeling they won't appear anymore if they enter BIDI after their next working entry time has been. it is 7:29 by the way and I haven't seen any timetable errors yet.... which I didn't expect for such a complicated timetable. I'm realy enjoying it thanks again. ...oOo... Greatkingrat Tea maker Username: Greatkingrat Post Number: 1 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 01:43 am: The trains that are supposed to reverse south of Cambridge do not reverse correctly. You need to use the location Camb. S (CA147 DL) rather than Cambridge South Junction. ...oOo...

Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 109 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 08:50 am: Broodje, I've not experienced problems with late running trains not appearing myself. I have also done a thorough rules test by delaying trains to make sure they work, and they did, even if entering past their reappearance time. Note, though, that if you're running a game with delay set, each reentry may be subject to a delay as well Greatkingrat, plese read the 1985 document, as tangara points out these trains reverse on the up main.

Moonraker Area signalling manager Username: Moonraker Post Number: 295 Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 08:53 am: But that's the point. They don't. You have to do it manually. I noticed this too. If you use the Down loop they will reverse automatically. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 110 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 09:14 am: Moonraker, I've not had any trouble reversing trains on the up main, setting the route to signal 148 then back using signal 647. They change direction without any intervention. 5H821 is the first train that reverses there, if you're still having problens, can you send me a saved game with that or any other train that reverses at Cambridge South Jn. Kurt ...oOo... Moonraker Area signalling manager Username: Moonraker Post Number: 296 Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 09:24 am: Ah hang on. No it's me D'oh !!. I sent them to the Down Main. Sorry Kurt ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 111 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 10:50 am: No worries. I will make it clearer in the notes, though, as well as mentioning that if the controller needs to reverse at a different location, they will need to edit the live timetable. ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 313 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 11:02 am: kurtds about the trains that don't re-apear: it is over 6 hours after the train should be back so I don't think it will re-apear :-). I spoke to coco-banana yesterday evening and he had exactly the same problem with 0H48* (he send it in the depot 45 minutes to late) ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 112 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 12:01 pm: OK. Simple reason for 0H483, is that it's rule is wrong. 0H483 should appear after 0H481 not 0H482. If you delete the rule, 0H483 will instantly appear. (Changing the rule will only work before 0H481 leaves.) I programmed 0H481 before deciding to split freight trains, which is why 0H482 appears first. Sorry about that. The rule for 0H01 is right though. Also, in the game I'm running, 8H48 was late entering the yard, after the entry time for connected service 0H481. The latter did appear later on though. Please also note, if you change the timetable, and save it, the rules will not work properly in a new game unless you use Clive's convdata program to clean it first. ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 314 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 09:34 pm: I think there is something wrong with 7r331. At 11:40 0R33 appears to pick up a train in the barwell sidings it should join 7R33 which doesn't exist. So I think 7R331 should have a join command for 0R33. /edit: you can forget all of the above: you can't join at barwell, 0R33 keeps waiting forever on the junction trying to enter the siding. The better solution for now is to delete 0R33 (I think) /another edit: 6H873 has no exit point, stansed north junction is missing in the timetable, audley end is the final location now (Message edited by broodje on April 17, 2006) (Message edited by broodje on April 17, 2006) ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 315 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 10:20 pm: lol I spoke to soon again... the 6H873 goes over in 6H874, but I missed it and the 'name' was still wrong while the new route was already gone from the pop up. Anyway doesn't realy matter I just didn't pay atention... but(!) 6H874 will complain about the route towards 'wittlesford' from 'whittlesford north reverse'. I had to abandon timetable to get it towards whittlesford. ...oOo... Noisynoel Area signalling manager Username: Noisynoel Post Number: 116 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 11:00 pm: RE 7R33 at Barnwell, U just checked back, the loco was never detached from the train, so there is no reason to run 0R33. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 114 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 17 April, 2006 - 11:45 pm: Ah, OR33 will be used in version 4. It didn't work in version 3 so the loco remains with the train, but the reason for this has been sorted now. (Length problem) The 6H87 problem is due to a validation problem, which Clive is aware of. Try this temporary fix: For 6H873: Whittesford N (Rev) Arr 11:56 Dep 11:58 Whittesford Arr 12:00 (Not passing time) Next Train 6H875 Then change the rule so 6H873 (in place of 6H874) must not depart ... ...6H873 arrives at Whittesford N (Rev) 6H874 then becomes redundant. However, you still need to manually reverse the train at Whittesford North, so recommend you use the up rather than down line. ...oOo... Noisynoel Area signalling manager Username: Noisynoel Post Number: 117 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 18 April, 2006 - 12:00 am: I just changed 6H874 to 6H875 when it called up with the wrong route on the up main. ...oOo...

Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 316 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 18 April, 2006 - 11:18 am: maybe 1H18 and 2B981 (was 2H89) should be swapped at cambridge: They both leave at 13:12 and can't cross trough each other. If 2b981 would leave from #1 and 1H18 from #4 this wouldn't be a problem. /edit 7R332 has a "join 8R33" command after splitting 0R332, but it just joined 8R33, when it still was 7R331, so I think that join command should be removed. (Message edited by broodje on April 18, 2006) ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 115 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 18 April, 2006 - 07:41 pm: 1H18 and 2B981 do indeed conflict. It's not as as simple as swapping around, because there are then knock on effects. 2B981 can't use platform 1 because another train occupies it when it arrives. In the amended Cambridge that will come out, hopefully, the ability to tell a schedule a train to move from platform 4 to 1 will be allowed, then 2B981 will move once 1C82 has left, allowing 1H18 to use platform 4. Don't worry too much about 7R33, it's treated differently in version 4. It is one of the number of trains that are formed from more than 2 parts, as well as it's loco leaving the tanks whilst it gets serviced. The problems arise because it was a late amendment to make the loco stay with the train, and I was tired. ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 317 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 18 April, 2006 - 10:36 pm: I have finished the timetable and realy enjoyed it. I had a huge list of freight trains waiting for cambridge TC while a bunch of pasenger trains wanted washing after the rush hour so I some points there :o. It can get rather complicated when freight is early or late running and need to be splitted or needs vans atached at cambridge :-). At the end of the timetable 3 trains never came back from BIDI: 0H483, 0H012 and 0H325. I already mentioned the first two in another post. I fear I can't SimSig for a week now my brain has melted, but it was worth it :P ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 116 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Wednesday, 19 April, 2006 - 08:20 am: 0H483 has been fixed. 0H325 won't appear in v3, because it's the same loco that is not detached from Barnwell Jn. 0H012, I know now why this didn't appear, its because 0H011 doesn't register passing Cambridge South Jn, so when it arrives in Coldham, SimSig still thinks its waiting to pass Cambridge South. Delete the timing point for Cambridge South Jn, 0H011 will then work properly and so should 0H012. As a temporary fix, delete all entries of Cambridge South Jn where Cambridge is the next timing point for trains from Sheprerh. Cambridge TC as next timing point is OK, as are trains which reverse at Cambridge South Jn. Alternatively, you need to manually edit the timetable and set the next location if a train has passed Cambridge South Jn. Thanks for the reports of problems, please keep them coming. No Simsig for a week? Not interested in the next 85 timetable I am releasing tonight then? Kurt ...oOo... Longdog Area signalling manager Username: Longdog Post Number: 118 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Wednesday, 19 April, 2006 - 11:56 pm: Oddity. Not sure if it is a timetable error or Simsig error. 5H44 came out of sdg6 signalled to Headshunt. It was too long for Headshunt, so train reversed under it's own authority back into sdg6, track circuits 'flooding' as they would with no route set! ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 123 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, 20 April, 2006 - 12:39 am: Although listed as 220m, the headshunts practical length in Simsig is less that this and of the 218m needed for a 10 car train , which is why they are down in the timetable as using the arrival siding instead. The TC flooding is a correct effect of a 'runaway' train. I do not know whether the length error is in Simsig or the manual. ...oOo... Clive Board Administrator Username: Clive Post Number: 2041 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, 20 April, 2006 - 01:45 pm: Google Earth reckons that the headshunt is actually 260m long, so I'll adjust that. However, remember that you need to allow a few metres for the driver to make sure he's clear of the signal - SimSig uses 10m (reduced to 5m in any version issued after today). I've suggested before to Geoff that he adds a "shunt forward to signal" activity for these situations. ...oOo... Bartekpl Tea maker Username: Bartekpl Post Number: 1 Registered: 4-2006 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 07:10 am: Hi! I think, that the new "Cambridge 1985" timetable is very interesting, but by many trains I get the information "Timetable rules in force" (f.ex. Royston trains or freight trains passing Cambridge 6H322). What should I do? ...oOo... Tangara Supervisor Username: Tangara Post Number: 56 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 08:03 am: Bartekpl, just let the program run. The timetable rule for 6H322 requires the train to wait at Cambridge for 70 minutes. If it is 30 minutes late arriving at Cambridge, it should leave Cambridge 30 minutes late. Timetable Rules can be found in the "Timetable List" (F4). Click on Rules then select the train (6H322).If you cannot see the complete message, use your mouse to enlarge the window. Barry M ...oOo... Bartekpl Tea maker Username: Bartekpl Post Number: 2 Registered: 4-2006 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 10:04 am: Thanks, Tangara for the information, but I have the problems with other trains too (with 6xxx descriptions). They arrive at Cambringe earlier and when they stop, I recive the message "Timetable rules in force". Dividing or joing for thist trains is impossible. I try to abadon the timetable and then to order "run to another timetable", but it doesn't work. Sorry - I don't speak/write English very well, because I'm from Poland. ...oOo... Tangara Supervisor Username: Tangara Post Number: 58 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 12:07 pm: Bartekpl, sorry I don't speak Polish. Do not worry about Timetable rule in force. It is there to give the driver a rest or waiting for another train to join. Don't abandon timetable. Dividing or joining is controlled by the timetable. Just run by the timetable. Barry M ...oOo... Flymo Signaller Username: Flymo Post Number: 32 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 01:54 pm: The "Timetable rule in force" simply means the train is obeying the rule listed in the timetable. Generally this will mean not departing until 40, 50 or 60 mins or so after it arrives or in the case of passenger trains at Royston, one train will not depart until x number of minutes after a connecting service arrives. Don't worry, when the rule has expired the train will depart and continue on it's way, this instruction is there to tell you not to do anything, just wait and it will eventually carry on.

Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 125 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2006 - 09:03 pm: Tangara. Dobry wieczor. Robi wy mowicie bulgarski? So long as you have been running the program continuously since the start (pausing is OK), the trains should run in a order. An arriving train will trigger a new train to join, but that train may not appear straight away. I receommend waiting and seeing what happens. There are some errors, but apart from those already mentioned above. Nobody has reported problems with any others. (Watch them flood in now! :-)) Viceroy. The 3 occurances of 6H32 is a deliberate error. I couldn't bring myself to restrict it so only one runs, especially as one is the only train that uses Barnwell. Its an otherwise quiet time of day, so personally I don't think it's a problem. If the delay slider is above minimum, they could arrive +/- hour anyway, but what do others feel? I've not experienced the other problem. If you get it again, please save and send me a copy, and I see if I can shed any light. Gonzo, thanks for the report. 2H87 should probably be P1, it'll be the same platform as the London 'express'. ...oOo... Flymo Signaller Username: Flymo Post Number: 33 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, 22 April, 2006 - 12:33 am: The xxxx at Stansted might be the early terminator at Audley End 5C723 which enters from Stansted N. about 0635. It should cross to platform 1 at Audley End and form 2C72 back toward Stansted N departing 0650. The first time I tried the timetable I automatically signalled 5C723 through P2 thinking it was heading towards Cambridge and then it reversed itself back up the line towards Stansted showing xxxx. Thiscould be what has happened to you also. That taught me to always check the pop up timetable to see where they are going... Assumption is the mother etc..... ...oOo... Longdog Area signalling manager Username: Longdog Post Number: 119 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Saturday, 22 April, 2006 - 08:14 am: I had the occurrence of three 6H32 arrive. This would probably never happen in real life. In a freight timetable, it may well show a Freight Train with the same number running to different patterns, but only on specific days, not all on the same day. They should be allocated different numbers. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 126 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Saturday, 22 April, 2006 - 12:20 pm: See above, the timetables for 6H32 are mutually exclusive, but I've deliberately left out the rules to make them all run. ...oOo...

I notice that there are no traction details for the freight services. Not sure whether this was deliberate or whether the information was lacking. I could let you know what traction was used to work the majority of the services as I spent alot of time around March from 1986 onwards. There were 3 pairs of Cl.20's stabled at March TMD during this period. One pair used to cover the engineers trip working, the other pairs were used on the Foxton coal & either the Barham or Kennett stone portions from March yard. 6H85 to Duxford & 6E16 return was predominately a Cl.37 turn. If you a more comprehensive list let know, otherwise spot on. Keep em coming.. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 131 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Monday, 24 April, 2006 - 08:55 am: I've only got details of loco passenger workings, and the obvious connected ECS workings, so any information on the other freight and mail services as well as DMUs would be appreciated. I've obtained a stockbook from 1986 which only shows 31s and 37s at March. The same at Stratford plus 47s. Norwich had class 105 DMUs allocated. These had first class but I cant' deduce where they were used, as all the local services in that area are 2nd class only. There were some 'disappearing' DMUs at Ely that I've had to attach to other train s to get rid. More info definitely appreciated. Please email me direct for further details ...oOo... 58050 Signaller Username: 58050 Post Number: 43 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Monday, 24 April, 2006 - 05:50 pm: OK Kurt I'll see what I can do. Got a problem with my e-mail programme at the moment, but hopefully will be sorted this week. I can tell you that the Fulbourne & Royston trips from whitemoor were predominately worked by Cl.31's. The engineers trip from Cambridge - Whitemoor & return, which called at Chesterton Junction was also a Cl.31 fill in turn & more often than not it produced a Cl.31/4 at that. I know the Foxton coal came from Thoresby Colliery, but certainly from 1986 onwards it was a pair of Cl.20's l/d March TMD - King's Lynn & then worked King's Lynn - Foxton loaded & return empties, then l/d back to March via Ely North Curve, also worth noting is that the wagons on this flow were all HDA's which had a max speed of 60MPH loaded as well as empty as opposed to the HAA's which were 45MPH loaded & 55MPH empty. The Middleton Towers sand train was a pair of Cl.31's, but I have got a photograph somewhere of a Cl.47 on it. Cl.56's worked the stone train to Trowse. I'll get a comprehensive list together & send it to you as sonn as I get this e-mail problem sorted ...oOo... Pilotman Area signalling manager Username: Pilotman Post Number: 248 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Monday, 24 April, 2006 - 06:01 pm: Longdog: Re your 19/4 posting: See elsewhere in the forum (Westbury) for a discussion on trains reversing without authority. Basically if the train stops with part of its consist outside a signal, then if its next move is in that direction off it goes. Geoff and I agreed that although this is undesirable, it is very hard to prevent, because we don't have a Simdriver to walk back and have a look a the aspect, and phone for authorisation if necessary. The alternative is to adjust the TT and clear the forward signal so the train goes fwd. far enough to clear the signal in rear. Ray (Message edited by pilotman on April 24, 2006) ...oOo... Broodje Area signalling manager Username: Broodje Post Number: 366 Registered: 8-2004 Posted on Friday, 12 May, 2006 - 11:29 am: kurtds could you please make the fright loco's that fuel at bidi re-apear 'un-timed'? I had 8c01 running 1 hour early so 0c012 that fuels at bidi is 45 minutes early. (at 19:15) If I sent it into coldham lane bidi now it will be blocking the tankplate till 20:00 when 0c014 will appear from it. Needles to say I need the space there for other services :-). ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 158 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Saturday, 13 May, 2006 - 02:18 pm: They can't be untimed because that causes other problems, but can certainly make it earlier. ...oOo... 58050 Signaller Username: 58050 Post Number: 45 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Saturday, 20 May, 2006 - 07:31 pm: Started a fresh game of Cambridge 1985 this afternoon Kurt. Doing well up to about 0830 with a score of 86%. However it all fell apart after that with various trains on the block in & around Ely. Trying now to recover lost time. Now I'm intrigued by 0C01 & 0H03 which run early morning. I'm fairly certain that this move must be a mainline loco dragging a demeshed Cl.08 shunter between works (Stratford/Doncaster)? Shunters with rods still connected can only be dragged by other shunters & they are restricted to 15 MPH. Can you confirm this please. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 161 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Sunday, 21 May, 2006 - 03:21 pm: I can't. The working timetable makes no special mention to these two trains, listing them just as a LD between March and Stratford that runs as required on Mondays only. The times are the actual WTT times, which are too slow for s standard light loco and too fast for a shunter. 25-30 mph was the closest fit to keeping to the schedule. I am treating it as two locos, one of which is disabled in some way. They are class 0 so can only be one or more coupled locomotives. I can't remember my regulations, so not sure whether a break van attached keeps it as a class 0. Certainly any thing else attached would mean it become a class 6-9. Any difinitive information would also be appreciated by me, as I am as curious. ...oOo... 58050 Signaller Username: 58050 Post Number: 46 Registered: 10-2005 Posted on Sunday, 21 May, 2006 - 04:46 pm: Tricky. If the train is timed at 25MPH then I can oly imagine it to be a mainline loco dragging a demeshed Cl.08 & in that area between Stratford & March can only mean a movement between main works ie Stratford & Doncaster. Also running on Monday morning may mean there is less trafic running than on another weekdaymorning. Speed for LD's are governed not by the linespeed. Where linespeeds re 100PH & above LD's can run at 75MPH however where linespeeds are under 100MPH LD's cn run at 60MPH, the exceptions being if the linspeed is lower than that or the maximum speed of the traction uni is less. Also the maximum number of locos allowed to be coupled rogether is 5 incl. the hauling loco so I can't imagine it being anything else. It can't be an engine being moved on a whelskate as they can onl mved at a maximum speed of 15MPH & 5MPH over points & crossings. A demeshed Cl.08 can be hauled at 25MPH. LD's with brae vans attached tend to run as 9XXX. I wonder if nyone else has any ideas. Working on your Excel document by the way. ...oOo...

The services runs to/froms March TMD. ...oOo...

Currently the timetable is in version 7.0, but its not compatible with the current program version. ...oOo... Mickster66 Supervisor Username: Mickster66 Post Number: 91 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, 27 July, 2007 - 09:28 am: Congratulations on the new beta issue and taking the chance to align WTTs with Cambridge, Kings Cross and Peterborough simulations. All we need now is a Doncaster sim and we have all the NX style signalboxes on or around the ECML I have been playing the 1985 scenario on the Cambridge sim. However, I have been coming up with a number of infuriating problems in the first few minutes of the simulation. 1. After detachment from 1H02 the loco (as 0C74) goes to the CS to pick up 3 carriages to add to the return working of 1C74. However, about this time a 5C74 appears in the CS 7/8 siding. What is this? Click the box and it says 3 carriages to add to 1C74. How can this movement take place if the train loco has not yet arrived in the CS to pick up the stock? 2. 6H32 has in the WTT three different schedules but the rules dictate that this is the same train. Yet upon initialisation of the sim a message comes up for all 3 schedules - and all usually dictating a different delay period ...oOo...

May I suggest that you table 0H63 via 188 and 180 sig. as all roads are blocked in the carriage sidings roads. Regards Barry (Message edited by Tangara on July 28, 2007) ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 231 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 31 July, 2007 - 10:34 pm: Oops yes, I automatically deleted rules for trains not in existence, forgetting I seeded 1H02. 5C742 needs to appear 10 minutes after 0C741 leaves the area. Well spotted Conflicts are a deliberate part of the timetable, to challenge the controller to deal with them. Even with a perfect scenario with no delays, you will find clashes. ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 232 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Tuesday, 31 July, 2007 - 10:37 pm: The message about delays to all three versions of 6H32 is a general Simsig limitation. Similarly, you will be informed of delays to trains that never arrive, because they only appear x% of time. ...oOo... Ccf Area signalling manager Username: Ccf Post Number: 131 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, 01 August, 2007 - 06:30 pm: Maybe this is already fixed, but I've had cases of an outbound working for one leg of a trip appear at a location before the inbound working from the previous leg has arrived. I forget the headcode (6H8x - which narrows it down to all the trips and then some. Remind me to play through the hell of 7 trains waiting to use the 3 sidings again until I find the right one :-), but the "next" leg was out of Chesterton Jn north end, and the "previous" leg was out of Cambridge. Good work nonetheless. ...oOo... Fotorob Crossing box keeper Username: Fotorob Post Number: 13 Registered: 7-2006 Posted on Monday, 06 August, 2007 - 06:19 pm: Hi, I noted the following in the latest version of this TT (24H): 6Y97 seems to be missing a number of rules. Shunting at Papworth was well underway before arrival of this train. 5C582 was running 50% and had no entry time. It's second Loco 0C852 turned up with no sign of 5C582. I adjusted to run 100% of the time and gave it an entry time. The incoming Loco 0M121 had some interesting timings also, departing 11.25 which I adjusted to 14.25. Great TT and excellent work, Kurt ! Cheers, Rob ...oOo... Kurtds Area signalling manager Username: Kurtds Post Number: 241 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Friday, 10 August, 2007 - 07:24 pm: The rules are there. I would suggest 'cleaning' the timetable, as this sort of problem used to happen when you saved the timetable after the trains had run, occasionally some runtime info is saved with the timetable file, causing rules to be ignored the next time the timetable is run. 5C852 may have 50% set as a %, if so long as the run as required box is not ticked, the % will not be applied. Alternatively, download a fresh version of timetable and remember never to save over it. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

I have the "Cambridge 1985.doc" As I do not "own" the document I am reluctant to upload it here without permission from either the author Kurt or the powers that be.

The document is not included in the current version of the 1985 TT download. My guess is that the document was included in a previous version, which is no longer online, and omitted from the current version.
