Kingmoor main possession - Awaiting slot for yard

Hi Steve L.

Have you got a .ssg (save game) available to upload here?

Sometimes this also happens with a train that is booked for the yard. In my case, it was one of the shunters, 9Tsomething, going from Kingmoor Depot to the Down Goods (DA line code in TT). It just sat there waiting forever. I phoned the yard, they told me to send it to 1-5 recessing, but no slot was granted for that either. When I routed the train towards UD1 and UD2, or onto the mainline, it called wrong routes for both.

Was this the 1979 TT? If so, I have never seen the problem in over 1000 hours of testing. Have you a saved game?

Hi guys. Without too much fuss, my tread seems to have been hijacked by a supplementary question only marginally related to my query. Can we return to my question, the actual subject of the tread - anyone any idea why I'm not getting into the yard. I've run the same sim without the possession and the slots drop in just as I'd expect. Thanks.

Nope, can't find a save of it anymore. I recall that I just ended up removing the train via F2. All other trains were accepted into the yard like normal. I think even one that arrived later than the shunter, but before I deleted the shunter.

To clarify, this was without any line closure. The shunter was booked for Kingmoor Yard, via the DA line.

You won't be able to route anything into the Yard unless it's got a TT into the yard. The slot won't be given.
Unfortunately following the instructions on the manual have also failed whilst I was running your save.

I've logged a mantis ticket regarding your post and the other findings I've came across.
For this specific scenario to work, you would have to edit the TTs for each train not booked through Kingmoor to exit and I think create a TT for them to enter again, certainly not something that a user would expect to have to do of course.

Sorry about this.

I believe there's no need for two separate TTs. You can just specify the Kingmoor Yard location in between Caldew Jn and Floriston in the original timetable.

This discussion rang a bell or two and it turns out I have an old save of this precise situation - 9T34 has entered at Kingmoor Depot Dn and wants the DA for the Marshalling Yd.

Have had this issue a few times and it always appears to be trains at CE464 wanting the DA. No slot is granted and so after a while a call to the Yard is made. Permission is given in the Phone window for Dn Recess but no slot is granted again.

Save attached - unfortunately no save before 9T34 entered is available.
