PS = Platform Share. It's a new feature for this simulation, to enable ARS to route trains to share an already occupied platform rather than the route having to be set manually. I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either. Log in to reply |

" said:" said:IECC ARS had a "double dock" feature from day 1. I'm not sure how DD activities got into the timetable though - there was certainly a field for it in CIF data (the format used between the mainframes and the IECCs at the time) but I never saw it used. DD fell out of favour a long time ago but in recent years Network Rail asked for it back, albeit called Platform Sharing.

I believe the biggest worry with it falling out of favour was stock changes - a train would be formed of 8 cars instead of the scheduled 4, nobody would tell the signaller, and the ARS would happily double dock it with another 8 car in a platform only capable of 12. Lime Street control would have been the last line of defence but it's not foolproof by any means. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
