Edge Hill Autumn 2021

The Birmingham-Liverpool WMR trains all have 'passing' ticked on their timetable for Runcorn and Liverpool South Parkway.

Not sure why?

This might not be a timetable question.

I have just platformed a Birmingham-Liverpool (2x class 350s) which in the F2 list is 264m. It just went into Platform 9 with no argument (and no overhang) which in the description box above the station display says 246m.

What magic is going on in Lime Street?

I was thinking 264m seemed a bit excessive.

However, it does fit behind the signal on platform 9, and picks up its next working, despite being too long. I guess it overhangs the platform but not the signal.

Trains in the 2C series seem to have Edge Hill 'Pass' ticked.

One more problem cropped up: 6X43 goes into Garston Car Compound in two parts. However, after running the loco around and dropping what was the front half of the train, SimSig thinks the loco is attached to the front half, not the rear half that actually has a path to the compound. Since that also leaves the "unpowered" half of the train hanging over the end of the Down Goods (ironically the only vehicle foul is the locomotive), the job is effectively stopped for all Garston locations.



My suggestion here is to position the train at Far-Exact end of Garston Goods Lines, then have the unpowered stock perform the split into two halves while the loco run-round is in progress. This fits naturally with the shunter walking back along the train after uncoupling the loco, and splitting the stock on the way to the subsequent coupling operation.

This issue and other car trains are fixed for the next update. Only advise I can give is to remove them trains for now. Although the trains carry the same headcode they are split by UID Code followed by A & B at the end. In other times I did use -1 & -2 after the UID Code. If that helps I can apply this.

Any clues on the joining back up for 6L47?? In my screenshot, they are both sat on the DG.
I've tried all sorts but they just sit there.... The earlier service (cant remember headcode) - I ended up just removing as there was all sorts going on elsewhere and kept fiddling but they just wont join. The ID's and UID's are correct but they just siting 'waiting'. Tried shunting, reversing... Nothing :(
