In the attached save, 5K00 has phoned in to claim he has a wrong route at CH52 - this is incorrect, as his next working, 2K00, is via Hednesford. Even more confusingly, having told him to abandon his timetable, he's phoned in again - how can a train have a wrong route if he has no route to follow?!

It's a known problem.

The reply given in that thread makes it sound it was assumed to be a TT error, rather than a sim bug?

Edit: Perhaps it's a choice in the coding where Rugeley Platform 1 must be the next location, else the wrong route is flagged up? That would seemingly make sending untimetabled trains into Rugeley P1 impossible.

Bingo you've hit the nail on the head

The recent update of Stafford made it mandatory for a train from the DS/DF to platform 1 at Rugeley to have platform 1 in it's timetable - this is to prevent the seemingly common occurence of sim-signallers on Colwich panel wrong-routing by sending any ECS for Rugeley into P1 regardless of it's next working.

As I said in my initial reply to the original thread regarding this issue - the timetable is being updated and will be released in due course.

What about untimetabled trains (e.g. in disruption when you want to turn back something from Rugeley P1) - will it just have to be that you need to invent a timetable for the move?

The conditions for a train to accept the route are that the train is booked to call or pass Rugeley platform 1, so yes you'd have to make up a TT for any untimetabled shunts
