Wembley Suburban 16 June 2024 Willesden Diversion

While testing I found that O745 cannot spawn at 21 (Stonebridge Depot) while A203 is on 22 around 12:32
The O745 will spawn at 21 right after A203 leaves 22

The other thing to note is that the overlap set from WS24 to WS22 does not swing to Kensal Gn Jn when WS23 is set to WS25. The workaround is to set WS22 to HL1102, then pull WS22 immediately when paused. I'd like to hear a better way of doing this :)

Mantis 36420 is already open for this.

However, there is a warning route from 24 to 22 with a reduced overlap as well as the main route; this doesn't require 507 normal. Use that (click on 24 then click on the yellow arrow next to 22).

Here's what I think will work (which I will try tomorrow):

I'm 100% aware of the approached controlled method and it's definitely more legal than what I do but I thought it'd be nice to have WS24 auto'ed as I tend to forget trains that are on the edge of the display 😂 Having the warner set means I can't have 24 auto'ed.

I don't need to try it. I know it won't work.

The correct answer is to alter the timetable to send it into the depot.

What do you think the real signallers do? They have to set the routes by hand in this case, because that's what the interlocking requires. This isn't a bug or an omission; it's an exact implementation of the real thing.

If I remember, the problem was that A203 was sitting on the departure road for ages. You should schedule it to enter a minute or two before it's due to head out on to the main line. The depot staff assume that anything sitting around for too long wants to go (back) into the depot. Mantis 36420 is about re-educating them.

Re-educating them sounds so scary... Guess I should add a new rule to make the depot send A203 after they send O745

Re-educating Willesden shunters...

Whats wrong with Willesden 💀💀💀

If you were only waiting for a minute or two, that would be different; you can just live with the delay. But you aren't.

Issue found around 14:25 where I745-2 not entering depot via 21 road because A223 is on 22 Road
(or simply SB1 won't clear for I745-2)

Workaround - make it SPAD in the trains tab in F11
