Forthcoming Timetables

For anyone interested as to how I am doing with my Three Bridges ASC timetable based on 08th May 2022 the latest updates are as follows at the time of writing this post.

I have revised the UIDs for all the Thameslink passenger workings into a different format from other trains in the timetable and plan to do likewise with the duplicate Southern passenger workings to make the right timetables come up. A thought which occurs to me though: would that work only with trains terminating in sim (which the Southern ones in question don't do) or will it work also work on trains entering from Sutton? Time will tell but if it worked then this would be instead of having 4-digit headcodes in the trainlist such as 2B361 & 2B362. There are also duplicate headcodes at Selhurst where trains entering on the Slow line and terminating at Selhurst (due to the closure of the Up & Dn Victoria Slow from Selhurst Jcn to East Croydon for engineering works) rather than continuing to West Croydon work ECS into the depot in order to reverse.

Having for example 2B56SN1 as 2B56SN2 as UID's (or whatever differential you are using) but just the headcode as 2B56 will work fine and the correct train will enter from any entry point in the sim. Obviously if any trains are referenced in rules etc then you'll need to use the UID as the references and not just the four digit Headcode

I too am putting my final touches to the MGR coal plan in My doncaster Station & Doncaster North May to July 1991 TTs[aka as summer 1991), along with having updated my Doncaster South TT too. This has pretty much taken up all of my time since the start of September & have worked on it pretty much everyday to get to where I am atm. Even as single player games there will be very busy. At this precise moment in time I sorting out the MGR coal worksings from Down Decoy Reception Sdgs to a number of collieries nefore loading & heading off towards the Aire Valley Power Stations which is by far the largest amount of traffic on both the Doncaster station & Doncaster North sims. There are also a largfe number of additional trains in these timetables taken from my large collection of Special Traffic Notices incl. Charters, Company charters, Footex's & test trains. The sims at present have this number of trains in them, but may well increase from the figure listed below before they get released:-
Doncaster South TT - 549 trains.
Doncaster Station - 1637 trains
Doncaster North - 1128 trains
Those users who prefer the BR era & also want a challenge then look out for these 3 timetables when they are released, they are all busy in their own ways.

I'd like to conduct a chain games with all 3 sims chained together running this 1991 TT in the New Year subject to if all the sims versions have been publically released by that time. I've kinds given myself a finishing target of the end of the year to get it all done before testing starts. Those users who prefer the BR era & also want a challenge then look out for these 3 timetables when they are released, they are all busy in their own ways.

Next in line from me will be Wolverhampton 1975 (TUE-FRI), as it uses the same WTT's.
Fairly well advanced, having been tested for/with the newly updated sim.

I am likely to then do a SAT version separately.

Update on my trilogy of Doncaster timetables covering the period of May to July, 1991. I'm still working on these 3 timetables & still adding trains to them.
Doncaster South currently has 572 trains in it.
Doncaster station currently has 1,895 trains in it.
Doncaster North currently has 1,192 trains in it.
I'm aiming to start testing the Doncaster station timetable in about a fortnights time. Once the final issues with the Doncs North & South sims have been fixed, I can then test those 2 timetables. After that at some point a chain between all 3 timetables over the 3 sims will need to be arranged. The biggest TT of Doncaster station I suspect will end up having somewhere in the region of 1,950 & 2,000 trains in it in total at a rough guess.

Looking forward to your Donny Station WTT being released. Hope the testing is going well? If you need any help feel free to let me know, I'm at home bored today :-P

I currently have a Doncaster Summer 1981 Weekdays timetable 4/5s of the way complete, with the last 1/5 being the fine details and finessing. This has been in development for some time now and I shall be commencing testing on this shortly. It should prove something of a different challenge to the 2009/15/19 timetables.

My Saltley 1992 timetable remains written with testing incomplete and will now sit on the back burner until Doncaster is completed.
