I'm having some issues with getting 5F44 off the ground frame and onto the main line to then head up to Bourne End Jn. I've operated the ground frame as the Wiki says, signalling the train off the frame and to signal 746 to then go towards Bourne End Jn. However, 5F44 always seems to stop just short of WF2002, and no matter what I do to try and get it out, it always heads back up to platform 11! I've tried getting it to go into the Neck Siding, shunting it forward, telling it to reverse, and nothing's worked at all. It always goes back to platform 11. I'm a bit puzzled as to why shunting it forward and telling it to reverse end up doing the exact same thing. I've attached the latest save for reference, but I fear that my latest save might be too late for me to do anything about it.

The timetable is wrong in that save - it has it reversing at Watford South Jn instead of WJ2001/2009. You can press F2, right-click on the appropriate entry, edit timetable, and replace Watford SJ with WJ2001/2009.

The reversal location is incorrect. In the timetable, change location Watford South Jn. to WJ2001/WJ2009.
