I note an issue with at least my timetable and the default timetable which is contributing to the problems with the Roxby binliners running round at Scunthorpe - I wrongly assumed the loco length used in the default TT to be 23m, the real length is 21.40m for 60's and 66's (56's are 19.35m for those doing earlier periods, 47's 19.38m, 37's 18.75m). This 2m difference makes all the difference in the 17 wagon binliner train fitted inside the TC at Scunthorpe Trent Reception, the loco being able to run round and fit on the other end inside the TC. The arriving train MUST also be set as "far and exact" on the stopping position drop down menu, otherwise the train stops 20m inside the signal, and the loco won't fit on the other end. I have modified my timetable to 21m loco lengths, and advise that you check any timetables you have downloaded. Details for the need to PSAD various signals to get the locos to run round properly are in other topics, but please remember there is no need to abandon timetable!

Note for mods - if you feel this to be more appropriately placed somewhere else, then feel free to move it, or add references to the specific parts of the sim mentioned if appropriate. I'm aware that this isn't a sim specific or timetable specific issue, but has specifically come to light on part of the South Humberside sim.
