Another minor inconvenience (probably not a bug, as such). If a down through train that's timetabled to stop at Waverley P1 and leave via the NLL is a few minutes late, ARS will set the route all the way through the station (431 > 457 > 491 > 499) as soon as it becomes available. The train, rather than stopping at 457, will then stop at 491 on the loop line with a "Wrong platform" penalty (and some very annoyed passengers that will now have to get out at Haymarket). I can prevent this manually by collaring 491 until the train has stopped where it's supposed to, but is there something in the ARS/timetable logic that can be tweaked to prevent it? Log in to reply |

Does making the stop Edinburgh Waverley (East) work ? I think this was a 'lesser of the evils' choice in setting up ARS, otherwise you got trains for 11 stopping in SLE unless you had manually set onwards beforehand. Bill Log in to reply |

That's a problem with ARS it only knows what it's programmed to know- and that is not to set a route till the specified departure time- if that comes and goes and the train is not ready to start then that requires manual intervention- as it would in the real box. There is a problem with through trains stopping in the wrong place on long platforms like this (Cambridge is the same). That's just something you need to be aware of- as Bill says there is an option to timetable to the specific end of the station but in doing that you lose that ability to replatform easily. If I had built EDB specifically to be an ARS simulation I might be minded to spend some time looking for a solution but as it's only an aid to solo play you have what you have- the alternative was to take it away..... which I nearly did as it was more problematic than it is now till Geoff did quite a bit of work on the module last year..
