Trains starting from Barnt Green 24/01/2012 at 18:13 #28134

I've almost finished testing my 1990 timetable. One oddity of the timetable is that there are local services between Worcester and Barnt Green only. These work fine in the up direction: I have set up ECS moves to take the terminating train on to Longbridge. In the reverse direction the Class 5 ECS appears from Longbridge and arrives at Barnt Green, converts momentarily into the Class 2 and then disappears, as if it has gone down the Redditch branch. Is there a way round this or should I simply start the whole train from Longbridge?

I think you'll have to start them all at Longbridge- the Sim will be coded to send all trains that terminate at Barnt Green to Redditch.

One other way around it is to terminate the train at Bromsgrove, take it up to Blackwell ECS, and then back to Bromsgrove, where it can form the relevent Class 2 back to Worcester. The empty train can be held in the middle siding at Blackwell until the Class 2 was due to depart from Barnt Green.

I remember those trains. It was usually the Midline liveried single unit. Eventually led to the current frequent service all the way through.

You need to table the ECS to turn around at Barnt Green North Sig 6 (Rev) on the Up Goods.

That option does not exist.

WesternChampion is writing a timetable for Gloucester, not Saltley.

Don't worry that's what I thought at first till I realised this was in the Gloucester area of the forum.

I'm assuming when Gloucester get's updated that this might be an option?

I got into exactly the same parallel universe about the same sort of problem here. It's probably an age thing.
