Found a funny with the wrong route detection - 0Z03 is timetabled to loop via Crofton & Turners Lane before heading through CFD towards Milford. But driver's just called expecting to use the Cutsyke line and wrong-routing Up Goole.

Thanks
Jamie

23 posts 		I am having a similar issue. I am running July 1991 and Cutsyke loop is closed for engineering works. I have 2F52 sat at Pontefract saying "booked via Castleford" and I cannot loop around Turners jct without abandoning the timetable. What am I missing? If I add Calder bridge and Turners to the current timetable nothing happens.

I tried the abandon, it works and allowed me to reinstate the timetable as soon as it started moving again

For now try add **Every** Junction on the alternative route to the TT of the train diverting, that is you need Methley, Altofts, Turners Lane, Calder Bridge, Crofton W and Crofton E junction. Also consider removing stop at Castleford completely if you train was running Leeds to Knottingley via Castleford since for some reason the sim could not imagine a train stop at Castleford but not taking the closer route for me.

6380 posts 		Adding extra locations won't help because the schedule contains Castleford and the sim data is set up to reject routing via Crofton if Castleford is scheduled. Whether that is actually correct I don't know because I was not the developer. Do real world drivers have the route knowledge via Crofton if they're scheduled via Glasshoughton? Not always a given in this day and age.

1189 posts 		For the TT I'm writing, I've split the schedule at Turners Lane, which seems to be the most sensible place to do a stop-and-go or regulating entry.

Thanks
