First of all, my sincere gratitude to Geoff and all the SimSig team for producing Victoria South Eastern, Victoria Central and West Hampstead Area Signalling Centres in such a short space of time. It is a dream come true that they have all been released. I am a retired Victoria South Eastern Driver and I signed the road to Bedford which means that I have a good route knowledge over these South Eastern routes and that of West Hampstead too. This helps me a lot when operating either of these simulations knowing the location of trains. Victoria Central though, is another kettle of fish!

My question is this: 5L61 is booked to depart Bellingham Sidings (position light signal 686) at 07+05 and cross to the up platfrom where the Driver changes ends and it should run empties to Orpington at 07+14. However 5L61 has other ideas and doesnt stop in the up platform at Bellingham to reverse onto the Down Catford Loop Line. It carries on up towards Blackfriars at 60mph! Any ideas please and am I doing anything wrong?

Funnily enough, I'm at that exact point in the timetable myself, but I've not had that problem with 5L61.

I don't suppose you've inadvertently abandoned 5L61's timetable, have you? That's the only reason I can think of that would make the train continue in the wrong direction.

No not at all. In future, I will knock out Bellingham ARS Sub Area and replace VS476 to danger before pulling off 686 position light dummy routing 5L61 into the up platform. May also have to tell 5L61 to reverse direction. Must then remember to reinstate ARS again afterwards.
