All,

Sorry for the newbie question. Some of the trains heading towards Crewe are marked as SL for the slow line but some are marked as IL and I'm not sure which line this is?

Thanks

Andrew

It stands for Independent Lines, which are the freight lines that avoid Crewe station.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. Sorry for another newbie question, I can't see IL marked on the panel? I can only see the slow and the fast lines towards Crewe? Unless it's another code for the fast lines?

Thanks

Andrew

They diverge off the Slow Lines at Basford Hall Jn (Off Sim) - send on the Slows

Pedant mode: There's a crossover from Fast to Slow at Basford Hall Jct, so you can send them on either line.

Either way, Basford Hall Jct is out of your control area, so the Line code there doesn't really matter.

I may be wrong but it wouldn't surprise me if the different locations are included because the SL - IL turnouts at BHJ are low-speed and will therefore affect how long trains take to clear if there's a queue building up.
