Odd- 6M57-1 is missing a rule, but 6M57-2 and 6E50-1 have rules set correctly.

Might it be because I started the timetable at 05.00?

Yes, it'll be that. The trains that decide which day the freight runs to enter at midnight, so the timetable has to be started then, or you'll get quite a few trains overlapping paths.

Sorry for the bother, colossal hang over. I'm sure someone will find an obvious problem with that I was doing.
Spotted the problem- my fault not yours. 0E49 had the join location set as Bromsgrove, not Bromsgrove (south). To fix it, Edit the timetable via F2, and change the location to Bromsgrove (south)
Thanks that did it! Thanks for all the replies, chaps.

Running the Thursday timetable.

6M11 enters closely followed by 6M11-1.

6V49 enters at Longbridge closely followed by 6V72-2 then 4V32, but the correct order should be 4V32 6V72-2, then 6V49.

Thanks for those, a combination of missing rules and running to different TTs on different days.

Thursday timetable.

6M03 stops at Blackwell to detach 0M03 but is too long for 0B00 to reverse via centre siding.

While checking the actual WTT to correct errors, I noticed that 4V32 stops for 25 minutes in Abbotswood loop for operational reasons. Does anyone know what these reasons would be? Also, it doesn't stop on Mondays, when it runs about 15 minutes earlier. Since it stops 04:13- 04:38, I'm guessing it's not for passing passenger traffic!

I've fixed all the bugs reported so far; I'll release a fixed version this weekend unless any more issues are reported.

Crew change possibly?

I've only just started, but I'm already stuck - where is Gloucester Loco Depot? I can't find it on the diagram, nor can I find any mention of it in the manual or on Google.

EDIT: Er, duh, it's the loco shed.

Also, I just lowered Old Ends LC and before the train got there, I had an "excessive delay to road users". What's the point in a notification if you then have to wait after getting the notification before you should actually lower it?

Isn't it the Loco Shed, accessed off the No.2 Spur at Horton Road?

Been a while since I ran Gloucester but I think "Train Approaching" message depends on the speed of the train. If it's running at line speed you can pretty much lower the gates straight away without risking a penalty but a DMU going at 75mph, or worse a class 8 tootling along at 25mph, then you need to wait till the train is closer to the crossing. The advance warning doesn't differentiate between a train going at 100mph or 10mph.
