Here's something interesting, with the default V5 timetable, 1c99 arrived into p1 EXD slightly early, and as it's timetabled to sit for 4 mins anyway I decided to "call on" 5L20 as I worked out both would fit. That worked fine, and 1c99 could leave on time at 04:08 - I didn't notice until I got a penalty that red-cow barriers did not raise even though auto was ticked, maybe because the route was a call on not a full route. (from E688).

2 more possible bugs: 1. Route Set E604-E606-E608-P6 @ Taunton, when headcode steps into P6, blank headcode also inserted into P5. Doesn't do it if E606-E608 is cancelled before setting E608-P6 2. Train timetabled to exit at Meldon Quarry, instead loses timetable, says terminated and doesn't fall off Log in to reply |

I’ve done a little research into the problem with the Totnes loco sidings (spurred on by the fact that I decided to introduce a friend to Project X). Timetable validation fails routing from Totnes platform 2 into Totnes loco sidings, when it clearly should succeed (in fact that’s the only route by which trains can enter the sidings). If one contrives to get a train into the sim running on such a timetable (not too difficult, either by editing the timetable of a running train or by having the train enter as a different ID and then take the timetable in question as a new working), it seems like it will usually work properly. I am pretty sure that one time the train decided to turn around and point up in Totnes 2, despite arriving in the down direction and despite the down direction being the right direction to access the sidings, but I can’t reproduce that now. Exiting the loco sidings, on the other hand, appears to work flawlessly and validate without any trouble. Log in to reply |

Great work! Just one things to report, don't think its been mentioned elsewhere. At Dawlish Warren E223 on the Down Loop is a fixed red, not a limit of shunt. Log in to reply |

Perhaps I'm being dense. I only see V4.0 available, is V5 limited release?

Someone in the know has kindly answered this for me. The shunt routes allow a shunt up the bank as far as the first signals - i.e a loco coming off a train or a unit shunting out of the way. There are no permissive moves allowed on the incline so the tracks must be clear. A main aspect requires clear signals all the way into Central i.e. (green only). Additionally, when a main route has been used to send a train towards Central, the protecting points will self normalize as the track circuits they sit on become clear and will remain locked normal until the track circuits indicate a train has fully arrived at Central. If a movement was made as a shunt the points will not self normalize, so the signaler will have to normalize the points themselves if the signaler is not able to set a return route back into the station promptly.

So I am being dense, the last Exeter I had was pre-loader. I referenced the date of the download but I must've mixed up the numbers. Cheers!
