" said:When should the crossings be dropped relative to the trains?i start dropping 1 min before departure, 30 secs to drop and clear, 30 to dispatch. in most cases this means trains passing lots of yellows. having used this method, i have rec'd no penalties " said: For Lancing it's good to lower the barriers as soon as the train has passed the last green signal. Unless the train needs to call at a station before the LC. In other sims with faster speeds or four-aspect signalling you may need to lower barriers earlier.this works ok except some trains end up with recovery at lancing or shoreham, meaning the barriers are down unessecarily long "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Last edited: 15/07/2012 at 18:46 by jc92 Log in to reply |

" said:When should the crossings be dropped relative to the trains?I go for 1 minute before departure from last station before crossing, and as the train passes the last green signal for none-stop trains. The one exception is trains from Hove that don't stop at Portslade, in those cases I lower as soon as the train enters- but check Three Bridges has pulled off the platform starter!

Hello Joe (jc52) Lancing is famous for running trains on yellow aspects. Just ask any Coastway West based train crew. it's the only way to keep both trains and road traffic moving. Regards Darren Log in to reply The following users said thank you: jc92, sunocske |

" said:Just encountered a slight 'irregularity'.I had a similar issue at 0600 with 2N51 calling in from T677. Its route was finally set once an up train in the opposite direction (1H81) which had been delayed had reached Hove, although I don't know if this is connected. More generally, should T677 ring through to Brighton rather than Lancing, since Brighton controls it? Log in to reply |

Unless you're chained, Brighton also receives calls from Fishersgate for example. http://SimSig.co.uk/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=54&id=20315&Itemid=0 AJP in games Log in to reply |

This seems to work but drivers do see a lot of yellows, but I guess this is okay considering dabbadaz's advice. Last edited: 16/07/2012 at 15:28 by guidomcc Reason: adding Shoreham East Log in to reply |

In my example involving 1N59, the preceding train 2E03 has just left Shoreham. The route was finally set from Hove at 07.39 Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Last edited: 16/07/2012 at 20:27 by John Log in to reply The following user said thank you: DriverCurran |

1N02 is clearly having a bad day:  Quote: 07:45:25 1N02 delayed at Shoreham By Sea due to door problems, expected to depart at about 07:50 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.

Think I have found what is causing the breakage of the fringe auto working at Hove, this may also cause issues at Worthing (not looked closely at that end). Part of the test I have for setting a route at Hove is that the down to up trailing points at the Lancing end of Hove are not locked, which they will be if there is an up train entering the station. Somehow during the destructive S&T testing of the sim, we never had a situation of this nature. Goochy - Can you remember if there was an up train between Portslade and Hove in your case? If anybody else has this problem could you please post to confirm the nearest up train at the time, and only really need one further post / test on this to confirm my thoughts on this gents. Many thanks Paul You have to get a red before you can get any other colour Log in to reply |

I think you're right, Paul. It's just happened again with 1H55 on the up line at Portslade. Once 1H55 had arrived in platform 1 at Hove the route cleared for 2N07.

Many thanks John and Brian for all that info to allow the issue to be found this quicky, I can now 99.9% be certain that I have cured the fault, which will be sorted in any new versions of the sim.
