Its scenarios like this really want to pull your hair out and hope its a dream, you know if there were any trains then actually on the map at the moment Points failure at skelton junction, making 1E72 stricten and effectively blocking york to 1 line in and out (for passenger) tcf at the north junction on the fast, only accessible from 3,4 and 5 To keep a service remotely running all trains run slow from Tollerton Jn, then go through the 1 way track in and out of york into 11 platfroms then back into 1 track till colton jn Yes if i move 1E72 then york would back open to 2 lines but 1E72 does not return from newcastle as 1F73 at 1800, So thats a long time to leave it lying around, the only other option, not sure if realistic or not would be to reverse it at Northallerton up sidings till its time to return, any other realistic thoughts on what would happen in this circumstances would be appreciated, unless of course it would just sit in york for 2 and half hours for the timetable return Post has attachments.

I think I'd have the station staff tip it out, then just get the dratted thing out of the way anywhere I could find that it might remotely fit. Then tell the Brains (aka Control) what I'd done and why and let them sort out crewing and return movements while I got on with trying to clear up the mess.

Get the bloody thing out of the way so it becomes an SEP (somebody else's problem). Kev Log in to reply The following user said thank you: 08wrighta |

Without looking at the save is it a TPE service? Id be tempted to drop it back into 10 or 11 then shunt it into their depot by the NRM. Other option for other TOCs is drop it into holgate

I've seen northbound trains running 25 down at Chester-le-Street and still pick up the next working on time. In real life, there would also be the option of terminating the train at Darlington, which can be done quite easily.
