Victoria Line Real Working

I was on attachment at Coburg St and is the Victoria still controlled from this location and are the signallers still in control of the train radio.

I look forward to reading your replies.

I had a little try last night and I really enjoyed it only played about 1 of simtime I was wondering as the sim goes on can you short trip trains more easy than you do in real life on the vic line for example turning brixton trains at Victoria to make up and time and on the N/B doing the same thing at Seven Sisters as both these moves are real life practise when I was on attachment at Coburg St and is the Victoria still controlled from this location and are the signallers still in control of the train radio.

I look forward to reading your replies.

I'm glad that you enjoyed playing about 1 of simtime I've not tried short tripping trains but I imagine that with a bit of fiddling via the f2 options menu you might be able to do that and write new train times and then shove them in the sidings calling them out as required you will note that there maybe a small problem getting them into the sidings as they stop short by 20m but not too worry a f2 shunt forward will fix for the time being as I said in the manual which you have obviously read and digested the signalling is done from a new signal box at Northumberland Park remember you can also turn trains as Kings Cross and other places too I hope you find this reply helpful.

Thanks Peter no I havent had the chance to read the manual as of yet send me the link would be great

Short tripping into Victoria Sidings worked fine Peter without any need for shunting forwards

I had to tell a driver to shunt forward to get past one of Peter's hidden signals in the lower siding road at Victoria. I hadn't abandoned the TT or re-written it though. I just re-routed him! Probably annoyed all the passengers waiting there for "1 Brixton Due" lol

There's no hidden signals between Victoria and the sidings, the problem is that for cosmetic purposes I used a main signal rather than an exit arrow forgetting trains stop 20m short of such signals.

Using my real-life controller experience, during testing, I can assure you every crossover, short-trip and siding was used in some of the things I set myself up for! You can also "reform/re-number" the service - provided you keep track of what you're doing.

To "keep it realsitic" try not to short trip the first train through after a delay. Do the 2nd or 3rd one in the queue. Give everyone a train as often as you can and the customer complaints shouldn't be too high ;)
