Hapsford GF Area. Why does this keep happening? 16/05/2017 at 21:35 #95142

14 posts 		Hi again!
Sorry about my recent number of posts (you have all been very helpful), however i am once again stuck with the signalling in the Hapsford Area on the Westbury panel. Each time I send a train down towards Whatley Quarry, neither of these signals ever clear. Are they approach control signals? Or is there something more to it than I can currently comprehend.
Many thanks,
Matt

Which version of the Loader and Simulation are you using? 4.6.3 and 4.3 respectively are the latest versions, if you don't have these you need to update.

14 posts 		Just realised that my post makes no sense at all at the moment!
***EDIT***
So, the signals that I cannot get to clear are those that send trains towards Whatley Quarry. They are:
A) The one to the RIGHT of the text that says < UP RADSTOCK DN > (above the drawn line) and then the one before the entrance to the quarry only ever clears to a shunt aspect. I believe that it should clear to a (Single) Yellow. Sorry once again!

As mentioned, you need to update. The latest sim version is 4.3.

You need to update, 316 works fine in version 4.3.

That's perfectly legitimate. The route is set onto a non-track circuited line, so a shunt aspect from 422 is required. The fixed red is to allow main aspects up to 422.

Ok. Thanks for your advice, how do I update to Westbury version 4.3? I can only seem to find 4.1 in the downloads list...
