Edinburgh Bugs

The third problem is one I can't resolve. I was scrolling from left to right using the keyboard arrow keys when a popup box appeared notifying me of a train entering at Haymarket TMD. I took my finger off the right arrow key but the sim continued scrolling to the right most position. I then clicked OK to clear the box but the scrolly was then stuck permanantly wanting to scroll to the right. When I selected one of the buttons 1 to 9 or scrolled left, I could see the scrolly immediately trying to scroll right. This meant the sim had become unusable and I had to save the game and re-load it to continue.

1.  Auto-lower doesn't seem to work on the up line at Halbeath LC (not a major problem, but it does mean it has to be watched to avoid delays).  Shunt moves seem to work fine (including down to up moves such as 0J13), but if a main line train approaches from Cowdenbeath I always have to lower the barriers manually.

2. When letting freight out of Bathgate Yard (6M85-A being the train in question), EN586 shows green even though the next signal up the line at Carmondean Jcn (EN581) protecting the entry onto the main is at danger!  Wouldn't have thought it should do that unless there was a distant board between the two.....

Here's my list so far:

1) 0S25 won't go into Craigentinny from EP622 (driver challenges route).

2) No sub route E444 - E426. Pushing 444 entrance followed by 426 sub exit gets a message "not a valid route", or words to that effect.

3) 1S25-2 - timetable shows it routed via Line W out of Waverley, but at that time, 0A25 is standing there!

4) Odd one - 1E02 called in from Dunbar to say that he would be delayed and asked if I wanted to put ED494 back to red. I accepted the generous offer as 1V41 was scheduled to pass Dunbar before 1E02's estimated departure time. However, the overlap didn't time out in front of ED494, as 1E02 was still in the station and not sitting on the berth of ED494. Possible train length issue?

5) Inadvertently sent 2P08 (Stirling - Newcraighall) down the main line instead of towards Millerhill. Driver didn't challenge the route.

It goes green because there is a repeater (circled red in the screenshot below) signal between it and the red signal.

Re point 2: It's not that one I was referring to, but the previous one (the exit signal from the yard EN586 - very top right directly above the Bathgate platform graphic). That shouldn't show green when 581 (which is green in the shot you attached) is at red, but I've had two freights leave the yard now where that has happened. Glad to know the Halbeath LC isn't just misbehaving for me though....

Whilst playing on the Standard setting using ARS for everywhere except Edinburgh & Haymarket whilst I learnt what was there I have suffered several long track circuit failures that caused very long delays. On two occasions following these delays one of the delayed trains stopped at every signal afterwards regardless of the signal state and I have had to tell the train to "Examine and pass signal at danger".

Not sure if I am missing something obvious or not but I thought I would mention it.

Are you saying that even if the signal was showing green the train would stop and report it as red?

One minor problem that I don't think has been mentioned yet - trains to Longannet generate an ARS "7xxx needs to have a manual route set" message, even though the ARS has requested the slot automatically.

Also, attempting to interpose directly into the berth (not by right clicking the sig) causes the error message 'cannot interpose into a queue berth' at signal EV407 (North Queensferry down), and Edinburgh platform 7.

...The second was 1S86. It arrived at P21 at Waverley. The supplied TT states it should stop at the near end but stopped at the far end (signal E446) and then kept telephoning me to advise it was waiting at the signal. In the end I reversed it's direction and it then registered that it had arrived at P21 although it remained next to signal E446...

A bit more info re this. Similar thing just happened to me, but when I reversed direction it promptly went to the West end and did the same - in the train list it was showing as 'Waiting at red signal'.
