A few alterations and additions made and a few typos corrected.

Although the previous version ran perfectly the new timetable analyser threw up a number of warnings. The timetable has now been amended so as the analyser gives no errors or warnings.

As ever, any bugs found, please use this thread.

I think there is an issue with the Day of the Week Selector. It seems like Monday has weight 1000 and all the others have weight 1, so Monday is being chosen virtually every time.

Thanks - yes there is.

I had been testing Monday and I forgot to change the weighting back to 1.

Anyone who has already downloaded it, the DOTW weighting can be changed to 1 and then saved.

Sorry about this - It will be re-issued almost immediately.

Thanks

That will then go into the pending queue for approval, and also removes the old version from being downloaded.

This isn't a timetable question, more a curiosity: I noticed 5B61 which is ECS to Barnstaple to form 2B61 is a Class 31 + coaches, and I was curious as to whether there is a runaround loop at Barnstaple or if there is another 31 waiting there for the return journey.

Yes, as already said, there was a run-round loop at Barnstaple. It was also used by the DMU working the 0405 Exeter - Barnstaple with its newspaper van as tail traffic. In practice, the van didn't come back with the DMU but came back on the loco-hauled service and was detached at Exeter. That can't be simulated, so in the timetable the van returns with the DMU and is detached at Exeter.

There’s some disused track alongside / in the undergrowth, but the Ground Frames that control access were taken out of use a long, long time ago.

A quick look on Google Maps shows that there is now only a single track into the station. Looks like there's nothing else now.
Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate.

Much like Newquay. Nothing left now except for the one usable platform, a piece of track running into it, and the remains of the platform next to it.

Yes, thank you...

If ever a new version is required Ill change that, but for now its not worth another re-issue.

You have mistaken 1B50 for 1B58.

1B50/ZBG160:1PCB terminates and makes 5B50-5/ZBC423:1PC EHST to OOC.

Its 1B58/ZGD126:1PCB that is replaced by 1F58/ZCF055 as that is the last service of the day. The EDMU 5F58 to work 1F58 appears off Exeter West Yard half a minute after 1B58/ZGD126:1PCB arrives.

So is the note on 1B50/ZBG160:1PCB incorrect: "Passengers transferred to special DMU service 1F50"?

Crikey - well done.

I reckon that error has been there since day 1 and no-one noticed, including me.

Yes its an error and I'm sorry. When you said "notes" I mistakenly thought you were referring to the lengthy notes under the general tab of the timetable which does explain the move with 1B58/1F58.

It will be put right in an update, along with some additions and alterations in a few weeks.

Thanks for spotting that.
