Warrington PSB FAQ

I have an issue regarding units coming out of the Unit Sidings at Springs Branch I've tried a few things including looking at the 2019 timetable to give me ideas on how routing works. Any ideas how to fix this?

RTT did give you all the needed locations to get the train from springs branch to Wigan Wallgate
Also the entry point marked as sidings was removed when they relaid the area for the stabling sidings so it would be more realistic entering at the LIP

Just one more query when I load up 2019 timetable at 2pm start I have train 1S07 ex-RMT2 on Warrington Royal Mail [Dallam] Platform 2 with a 1400 departure. I click the route from WN130 to WN170 but 'Point(s) locked normal by another route' message in the box. There isn't anything referenced in the manual and it effects trains that are in Platform 2 & Platform 1.

You've got time of operation point locking here. I can't remember the time, but its something in the region of requiring the platform track clear, or occupied for a period of something like 120 seconds to be able to swing the points

Might have missed this in the manual, but on one occasion in the 2019 timetable I had an ECS that comes off the Wallgate line, down the WCML and onto the Manchester line via Golbourne junction. It had a few minutes to wait before I could give it the slot off the Wallgate line as the junctions were a bit gummed up. I received a call from Wallgate informing me that he had a train for me that was booked WCML. On previous occasions that Wallgate sent me a train booked via the WCML (the binliner) I received no such call. Is this because there was a bit of a delay and the signaller's way of reminding me the train was there?

You are right Clive - Greenall Whitley Brewery sdvertised their vodka as "Wodka from Warrington"

What is Newton-Le-Willows Platform 150?

Paths to and from the reverse point missing, Mantis 32620 raised.

Also to note platforms Loco and Dock are missing from the timetable editor for warrington.

I have a train that needs to be seeded at Signal 567, but have noticed in the timetable editor seeding location that signals 565, 567, 569 & 583 are missing on the Up Chat Moss in the editor.

They're on the list, but listed as S565, S567 etc. in the modern era. I assume this is because the signals are substantially different between eras- 567 is an auto in the old era but controlled in the new.
