884 posts 		Is there any way to prevent Leicester granting a slot?

6D32 has arrived at Sharnbrook Junction at it's correct time of 08.58 and is waiting its booked 09.18 path onto the Down fast.

As 6D32 approached Sharnbrook Junction Leicester immediately granted a slot even though 6D32 is booked fast line.

This is now preventing 6C31 departing from Wellingborough in its booked pathway and will now incur delay.

I could run 6D32 onto the fast line early, but this would delay 1F13 and 1D14.

I suppose I could preset the route for 6C31 from Wellingborough preventing the slot being granted, but only if I notice in time.

In fact, if we send the train slow when it is booked fast and the train is delayed, the West Hampstead signaller gets the delay. In the box if we get the slot for a D/fast train, we call Kettering to confirm.

The slot auto cancelled for me when the train moved onto DF

It does for me too, but by sending 6D32 onto the DF early it delays 1F13 amd 1D14.

Online 		Perhaps a solution would be to have the slot granted automatically for anything booked towards the slow line (with a check for anything booked the other way first), ignoring trains booked fast line but with the ability to request a slot (by phone) for either early runners or anything needing to run slow line vice booked fast?
