I have 8Z03 standing for reversal at shunt 232 at Hitchin.However it appears to be standing on the wrong track circuit.It has gone beyond the immediate TC in rear of Shunt-232 and to the next one in line,thereby also releasing the locking on the point for the flyover.As a result it is also possible to swing the points to the flyover which could lead to a derailment(I know it is not possible in Simsig but just pointing it out):

Confirmed as a bug, will add to bug board now.

Also found another bug in the process, so thanks for this!

Is it such a big deal? I mean, situations like this are common in SimSig (eg. North Wales Coast) and usually the train driver just calls the signaler to ensure he has the points locked. So given everyone is behaving normally, it shouldn't lead to derailment.

It wouldn't lead to a derailment anyway as SimSig as a rule do not simulate such a thing. If you try to send a train towards trailing points set against it, I believe the core code now features calls from the driver to advise you (the signaller) of this.

Well, yes, yes, I think we all know what he means!

Ooh, so no more of the silent "out of valid track" thingy? Lovely.

(Though again, you shouldn't ever get it if you do it correctly!)

Would you care to elaborate on where this happens on NWC?
