A quick search hasn't brought up anything about this already being mentioned, so here it is: If I've got a train standing at DB6, and then set a route from DB13 to DB14, I get the message about a clearing point violation. Am I correct in thinking that this shouldn't happen, or have I overlooked something? Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick. Log in to reply |

I believe that this is normal and it should be expected to work just like that but I wouldn't worry too much as it's a common mistake I've noticed/heard about during multiplayer sessions of this simulation.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, however I wasn't absolutely sure about it. Thanks for the confirmation.

Passed (Train has passed the signal and clearing point, hence doesn't require it) At a stand (Train stopped at signal) Cancelled (Self explanatory!) Expired (Train has failed and is unable to proceed further) Also known as "PACE". Log in to reply |
