I plus others are having some issue at Ordsall Lane Jn with ARS. If a train enters from the Eccles direction that has a Engineers/Path allowance it means trains will be at Orsdall Lane Jn earlier than booked. Sadly ARS seems to allow trains from Eccles to go first towards Oxford Road/Piccadilly which then makes trains behind from the Salford direction become delayed. Example I have a 2O** Southport-Man Oxford Rd service that has a 7min allowance from Eccles to Ordsall. Meaning 2O** will have to wait its turn in line to allow 1Y88 train go in front from the Salford direction. Sadly it sets the route for 2O** train and delays the 1Y** train behind. I have Ordsall Lane Jn as Route/Line CL - BL.

All together now for the refrain! ARS is an aide, not a replacement signaller.

I have Ordsall Lane Jn as Route/Line CL - BL.This happens in real life. This is mitigated by building stops into junctions so ARS will hold a train to time. This happens regularly at Upminster & Liverpool Street IECC's. Man Picc doesn't have ARS in real life so doesn't have these mitigations in place Log in to reply |
