Gets worse if you look further back, TD were used like bus numbers ! All Walsall - Aston - Birmingham 2G51 All Wolves - Birmingham 2G61 (2G60 if from Stafford) All Birmingham - Chester 2D66 etc Still thinking how to approach this one for my possible 1975 TT set, may well use the current TD conventions.

While UIDs will sort writing and make rules and any joins work on the right train, it was the user interactions as mentioned above that were more my concern. I have just finished entering a [redacted] timetable where all the real TD were just two digits, class and route. As for the exchange sidings, I was not planning to include Saltley as Moor St looks quite incompatible unless I use (new) Snow Hill in place of Moor St. Initially my scope is Wolverhampton and then Birmingham, so I can simply enter ECS from St Andrews Jn.

I can scan it for you if you like. Last edited: 06/02/2022 at 21:52 by 58050 Reason: corrected typo Log in to reply |

Virtually all the loco hauled ECS and some NPCCS goes to and from there so it as pascal says, it'll create an extra job trying to find somewhere to put it all!

The Liverpool Street system also had a diamond indication for electric trains. Given how old the tech was, it was still working remarkably well in the late 1970s. Log in to reply |
