If the train has appeared before the engine that's a bit of a slip by the yard, but there's not a lot you can do about it except send the engine into the yard anyway as booked.

Do you have delays on by any chance?

To answer Kev's question I had a points failure at the station which through timings out.
Up to 90 minutes for the technician to fix.

I might need another rule as I had 7B75 enter at Gillingham before BLST5 arrived.

There you go then. Pascal's tt is meant to be run without delays as they are challenging enough without them!

Maybe it needs some sort of flag if there is information in the field.

I think the button looks different but I agree that it's not particularly obvious.

Where do you find the timetable notes please? I cannot find any reference to a "Notes Button" anywhere.

Right-click on the train's description and click "Popup timetable". In the upper left corner there is a button entitled "Notes". If it's disabled (like in this image) there are no notes. Otherwise it will be enabled, you can click on it, and then a window pops up with the notes.

The forthcoming Loader update makes this button more obvious.

285 posts 		For V1.0.5UID of the Withered Arm TT (latest from the Updater), there appear to be no notes with any iteration of 6Y62 looking at the Misc tabs in each train's entry in the timetable editor.

If the train's last location is 'Dinton MOD', GF 313 would be appropriate; whereas if the train's last location is 'Dinton MOD (AIR)' GF 314 should be used.

Here's the Salisbury manual entry for the Dinton GFs.

This would involve a sim update which ain't gonna happen.

Kev
I think the proposition is that the train description in the TT shows as Someplace - Dinton MOD (Air) or Someplace - Dinton MOD (Navy). That wouldn't require a sim update but only some relatively minor TT editing.
