I’m playing the York 1991 timetable and would imagine that nearly all of the freight trains from the Doncaster direction join the main line at Joan Croft Jn. If this is the case, the signallers at Doncaster should pay more attention because I get the odd freight put right in the path of a class 1 thus delaying it.

When the Doncaster sim is released (I live in hope as you can see), I will definitely be more careful than they are

The question is fairly similar to this one on the WCML: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/52410?postId=133268

The bottom line: TT authors could use rules for trains that have entry times very close to each other, but that doesn't fix problems caused by late running trains.

I'll just have to live with it, won't I? After all, I do have the probability and tine set up a little bit.
