Two bugs at Bank 29/03/2012 at 15:02 #31059

906 posts 		Playing a bit around, I've noticed two problems in the Bank area:
- Signal 700 will clear even with the overlap still occupied
- the dummy signals simulating the trainstops at the beginning of the platform, right next to signals 2 and 4 (signals W and Y, if I'm not mistaken), clear a little bit too late, resulting in the train coming to a standstill and waiting for a few moments before accelerating again
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.

Cannot recreate. Are you sure you're not referring to Signal 700R? If you are then it looks like that is behaving as expected.

Confirmed. Trains are dropping from around 14-16mph to stationary before moving off again. Even happens if they are stopped at Signal 7 briefly. Of-course, they could always be coming in too fast hence are getting tripped.

No, it's definitively 700. But now that I'm re-reading my post, you're right, I didn't make it clear that I meant the overlap behind the following signal. So just open a new, empty simulation, and occupy track circuit T19 via the ICP. As this is the overlap beyond the next signal, 7, signal 700 should now revert to red, but it stays at yellow.

Thanks for the clarification, I have now recreated the bug with the overlap. Both bugs copied to Mantis, with credit where credit is due.

I have had to repost this post after accidentally deleting it.
