Currently there isn't really anything you can do in all honesty. You can try holding it at milford jcn but you're likely to delay further trains coming from GW and there's no way in the TT editor to prevent early entry. There's the always enter on time option but then the train will never run late either.

I also had one that was almost 2 hours early for a crew change at Castleford, but luckily nothing came up behind it for that entire time so I parked it on the station approach until the crew was ready (of course, in hindsight if I'd been paying attention I would've parked it in the Goods Loop).

I'm working my way through a Friday timetable and I've run into an issue. At around 16:00 0M06 comes out of Knottingley TMD to head to Milford Yard 11 to join 7K46. However there is no 7K46 in the yard, and when I look at the timetable entires, all the 7K46's in the list are FX. Now, there is a 6K46 in the yard, but that shows no timetable. Log in to reply |

I ran into the 2G60 bug that has been previously mentioned in this thread. Version 2.3 of the sim. I included a save game. Also, a related question. Is 6K94 supposed to wait at WK6826 for 2G60 to clear the branch or are they supposed to pass at the loop? Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |
Monk Bretton Glass Works Branch Problem 20/11/2020 at 10:04 #133985 | |

Had another little issue with 2G60 Track Recording Unit as well. When returning from Monk Bretton to Calder Bridge he queried the route at Oakenshaw South Jn stating not booked via Calder Bridge Jn.[/quote] That has been fixed in a updated version of the sim which will be released shortly[/quote] Noel, was this issue with Bretton Glass Works branch ever fixed? I'm asking because I'm writing a timetable for West Yorkshire which I'm now testing. I have 5Y41 driver trainer unit on the branch, but when it emerges it queries the route at Oakenshaw South Jn (even though the messages says its passed there), also when using Tools 1 - analyse, I get an error message saying its booked to reverse at Calder Bridge Jn, which it isn't. I've attached two screenshots to show you what I mean. Any assistance would be appreciated. Cheers Phil ![]() ![]() Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

Looks like the TT failed to step up past Monk Bretton Loop and Royston Jn. (Where is Royston Jn?)

While it isnt simulated, its probably still a TIPLOC. there was also a Box at Cudworth Station to control the branch to Monk Bretton and to Grimethorpe Colliery at this time, also not simulated. I don't think the update was ever pushed out for release. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply |

Small issue: The note "Siding 12 is not permissive so the train must be instructed to pass M685 at Danger to attach to the train" has been applied to the wrong 0G02 on Monday. It is on the departing one, 0G02MO580316, instead of the arriving one, 0G02MO0742, where it should be.

7K85 (EDIT: talking about 7K850310) and 7K900345 is calling at Knottingley without a crew change while other nightly trains to Drax do change their crew there; is this deliberate or is the crew change missing?

Thanks for the explanation - I didn't know the power station needed a shunter.

It doesn't take as long though, a full crew change is ~2 minutes in SimSig while picking up the shunter probably needs just some seconds assuming the stopping position matches where the shunter is standing. By the way, I had a train wanting to stop after passing the platform starter yesterday (probably a near end stop - aligning the tail rather than the head) but I haven't yet figured out whether that was because it was missing a far end position or because I used the opposite platform at Knottingley. I believe it was a 7K92, but will look it up for you tonight or tomorrow and compare its TT to that of other trains to see whether this was caused by the sim or the TT. AJP in games Log in to reply |

If you so wished you could define it as 30 seconds or a minute. "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Log in to reply The following user said thank you: postal |

But other trains look the same. The ones changing crew also have far end stopping position marked, which means they'll stop in front of the signal in either platform 1 or 2 at Knottingley. However the ones not changing crew don't have the stopping position, meaning they will stop past the signal if routed into platform 1 at Knottingley instead of the usual 2.
