So I've bought Birmingham New Street not a while back, downloaded the 5 Day sim and played it for the whole 24 hours. However, I can only get it running from the last day and it will be ended at 03:00 the other morning. This also happened with Wolverhampton. Any ways to solve this?

After having a quick look at the TT it looks as though a day of the week is chosen at random when you start the sim and then runs for 27 hours from then. I have started sim twice first time I got Friday second time Monday.

Does it mean that it's not possible to run all 5 days in one go?

No, you need to restart to change to a different day. A handful of timetables have been written that run through continuously over several days, but SimSig's internal clock only counts to 100 hours (i.e. just over 4 days) so a continuous 5 day timetable is possible.

It's set up this way just so that when you play again, you don't always get exactly the same trains every time. There's a bit of variety. It's not meant for continuous 5-day play.

If this is my Nov 2020 timetable, I am in the process of re-issuing BHM to chain with Walsall of the same timetable period.

When all are finally checked there will be 14 sim timetables which will all chain together.

My original set of 8 will have new ones from Walsall, Telford, Crewe, Manchester South and Stockport added
