Timetables for summer 1977 and summer 1996 have just been submitted to the Mods for approval. Lots of operating to keep you on your toes in both eras. Do, please, read the detailed guidance in the "General" tab before commencing operations. As usual, while everything has been tested on multiple runs through, there's bound to be something that's missing or non-obvious. Please add to this thread if you find something of interest. To forestall a question asked in respect of other timetables I've developed, no, these aren't designed for chaining. Sadly I don't have the time or resources to achieve that.

Nice to have some old fashioned timetables for Warrington. Only thing I have noticed so far is in the 1996 (00:00) start, that 1N26 seeded at 182 signal instead of Warrington B Q station, then it proceeded to miss Wigan North Western as well. Obviously the driver was in a hurry to get home..!! Great looking timetables though whatlep.

I clearly missed it, concentrating on the other moves at startup. Duly noted and will be fixed in a new release. An instant fix is to edit the seeding point manually for each of the four occurrences of the seed 1N26 and save the new timetable. Thank you - keep the reports coming!

In 1977 TT, 5F70 seeds at sig. 21 (Platform 2) at Wigan NW and truncates. Should be Platform 1 (sig. 23 or 14)

Right train, but wrong symptoms! 5F70MO-0700 (UID) only seeds on a Monday and seeds at the correct place. However, its timetable incorrectly shows platform 1 at Wigan NW, rather than platform 2. The truncation is much more interesting. Basically, I've carried over the length of a 6 car unit to the 3 car unit definitions (two of them). The correct length is 56 metres. Number of trains for which this matters? You've guessed it: just this one on only one day of the week! The timetable checker doesn't pick it up, in case you were wondering. The length error also features in the 1996 timetables, but the number of trains affected is precisely zero. I will correct those timetables anyway. Work-round pending a new version. Alter both Class 10x DMU (3-car) and Class 110 DMU (3-car) in the Train Types tab of the timetable to be 56 metres. Thanks again - keep the issues coming.

Thank you very much for these two, just enjoying the 1977 at the moment. Maybe a minor one, Friday selected and the Seed 6F43-FO has 24/xx Timings. So its a bit 1440 mins early from Walton Old Jn (Had a Look, 6F43-WO the same). At 07:30, nothing else so far. Many Greetings!

Playing Wednesday, 0H27 enters on time at Springs Branch to head to Bickershaw but 9H27 (presumably it's collected working) has already entered 40 minutes early causing a Mexican. Presumably this needs a rule?

I'm thoroughly enjoying the 1977 TT (and the recently released Chester 1977 TT). I've just had this strange one though. I'm up to 0500 Friday and have just had 7M04 0215 Healey Mills - Mold Jn call up to depart Arpley Sdgs before the inwards arrived from Healey Mills, thus ignoring the rule stating to wait 90 mins until after arrival of the inwards working.

I wonder if the rule needs to be "must appear 'x' minutes after Y leaves the area"? Any of the SimSig developers out there reading this? Thanks for the kind words, by the way.

Experience has shown that if we have the final location in the sim rather than just falling off, the train can do some undesired things which may or may not be caught during testing.Phil-jmw in post 147076 said:If the rule is applying to an exit location, I'd always go with 'exits area' just in case.I'm thoroughly enjoying the 1977 TT (and the recently released Chester 1977 TT).Hmmm - interesting.

If the sim reports arrival times for a given exit, you can use 'arrives or passes' for rules. If the sim does not report exit times, it will be due to the problem outlined by Geoff so either use a prior location or use 'leaves area'. I do not like that as 'Leaves area' will be triggered by leaving in the wrong place. Log in to reply |

Yes, The rule needs to be a 'Must appear X mins after Y ........' rather than a 'Must not depart from Z.....' The train does not 'depart' Arpley as such.

Quick update for those interested. V1.1 for all three timetables is ready for submission to the Mods, but I'll hold off until Monday to allow any further issues identified over the weekend to be included. FYI, most of the issues only feature in the 1977 timetable which - as you'd expect - is rather more complex than 1996. So far only 2 issues spotted for 1996, neither significant. Thanks to all those who have flagged bugs so far. Log in to reply The following users said thank you: bossman, Phil-jmw |

A very minor one from 1977 - 6S82-1306 is booked to stand in the Down Slow at WBQ, but doesn't have through line stop ticked so calls wrong route. EDIT: Also 9D40WO-1410 on the Up Goods There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Last edited: 04/07/2022 at 13:55 by Splodge Reason: None given Log in to reply |

4M54 detaches 0Z00 at Wigan South Junction signal 47. 4M54 comes from Plat 1 and it is partially in PLat 1. So 0Z00 moves off and away. Now I find a big problem. No matter how much I try I cant get 0M54 to join with 5M54. I cant even get 0M54 anywhere near the front of 4M54 whichever route I try. Setting and locking the points doesnt work either. So has anyone got a solution for this problem ?

It will apply to all the workings due to change crews on the goods lines at Bank Quay. Those are: 6S82-1306 9D40MO-1410 9D40WO-1410 9D40FO-1410 8F21-1701 6M27TO-2227 6M27THO-2227 I also need to double-check if it affects the workings that change locos at Bank Quay. I don't recall that being an issue and you should have already notied an issue with 6S99-0956 by now. Please let me know if you see an issue with any loco changes. Interim fix is to tick the "through line stop" box at Warrington Bank Quay for the trains listed. I will issue V1.2 soon-ish to cover the bug. V1.1 has been made available literally in the last hour! Thanks for the heads-up. Please keep them coming. Log in to reply |
