Changing a TD at Newark Castle station. 03/04/2023 at 16:10 #151035

In the screenshot you can see that I have just route a train across the flat junction at Newark towards Newark Castle station where its TD changes to 2M68.
You can also see that I changed the TD before clearing signal D68. This was because one is unable to do this once it passes the signal before the station.
The question is, did I need to do this or would the TD be changed automatically once the train entered the adjacent area?

Thanks

Newark Castle is not a station that Doncaster box has any control of.
As far as I understand, it makes no difference if you update the headcode or not. The train will know what its doing and will leave the sim regardless and you should not be penalised. In real life it would be for Newark Castle or EMCC to update the headcode on the service before it continued.

Which timetable is it, out of interest?

It's the 1991 timetable.

The answer from y10g9 in the post above yours is what I expected. I just needed confirmation either way.
