I'm playing Edinburgh with the ARS off and with ACI on. When it comes to Platform 7 at Edinburgh, the reporting nos. are not changing auotmatically and have to be changed manually, mainly 2Yxx. I have had no other problems with any other platforms and I don't think this happened when running the sim in fully ARS mode.

I've had it too. Fortunately it's fairly easy to remember to replace the codes; It'd be hell if it affected the northerly platforms! The number of times I've sent joining/dividing trains around the Fife Loop with the wrong code...
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

P7 is a que berth codes are organized on a first in last out basis and change to their proper one with the TRTS.

The TD berth in P7 is a queue berth, if you right click/interpose TD on the starter sig and also the 'buffers', you will be able to seee there are 2 seperate TDs stored - buffer end is first in, sig end is 2nd. Think of it as like the normal 2 platform berths on top of each other rather than side by side.
The 'problem' is that the seed train TD 5X07 ends up at the buffers, its next TD 2Y04-1(?) stacks at the sig end and then a 3rd train comes along (5Y03-1?).

My tip is to change 5X07 to its next TD before it steps to the platform, or delete it from the buffer end and replace with the other TD, deleted from that end.

Remember that in all the above you have to view/edit by right click/insert TD, not right clicking the TD berth itself.

Hope that helps clarify.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.
