When there is a TCF or another failure near Filton Jn in the 1980's era, they will show up as 'Track circuit / Signal / Points failure detected in the Filton Abbey Wood area' though Filton Abbey Wood doesn't exist in this era. The technicians phoning when it's solved, are making the same error.

There's definitely an "era" related bug in the Filton Abbey Wood area when running 1980s era.

Routing from Signal 239 (just above the placename FILTON) to Signal 243 for 1V26 to travel towards Severn Tunnel, I get a notification of a "points failure in the Filton Abbey Wood area". All visible points lock to the route, and the route sets but the signal doesn't clear.

Talking the driver past the signal, 1V26 "disappears" after a period of no movement (F2 showed still stood at 241 - I only noticed this because a following 1M83 took over the TD berth for Signal 239). F2 now shows 1V26 "waiting at Red Signal 241". This signal isn't visible in 1980s era.

1V26 will not move beyond the invisible signal 241, even if talked past.

Looking at the signal diagram, this appears to be on the Up Bristol where the Filton platform is in 1980s era.

Yes, this is the first instance of derailment I've seen in SimSig. Good thing other trains run past like nothing happened, so there are no delays.
