Calling On signal failing to time out and clearing directly 21/11/2013 at 16:33 #51823

72 posts 		In the following picture,2D03 is supposed to join 5D03 and I've set the route in advance and instead of S407 being held at red till the time-out completes,the calling-on has cleared well in advance:



As per what is mentioned in the wiki regarding permissive working in Westbury,the above appears to be a bug:
Quote:
Permissive Working:
It is possible to allow more than one train into the platform lines at Newbury, Westbury and all the goods lines. The lines are said to be permissive. Clearing a route into such a line when the platform track circuit is occupied will select a ‘call-on’ route. The signal will clear with a subsidiary aspect subject to the following conditions:

That the platform track is occupied;
That at least one track circuit between the incoming train and the end of the platform is not occupied;
That the train to be called-on has been timed to, or nearly to, a stand at the entrance signal.

It should be noted that if the route for the second train is set before the first train operates the platform track circuit, then the signal will not clear until the first train has gone clear or the route has been cancelled and called again.

Most ground shunt signals will clear into these sections whether they are showing occupied or not.

Another use for these call-on routes is that it is still possible to clear a protecting signal into such a section which has a track circuit failure.

Permissive working is banned for passenger trains unless they are booked to join another train.

72 posts 		Don't know if I am doing something wrong but 2O66 is booked to Yeovil but for some reason,the slot has not been received and the train is standing at a red signal and calling in:



The wiki mentions that the slots are automatically requested by the trains at these exits:
Quote:
Melksham and Yeovil Slots:
The slots for the Melksham and Yeovil branches are automatically requested by trains exiting the Sim. Trains entering the Sim from these locations must get permission from you before they can send a train onto the line. When they wish to do so, the slot indication for the appropriate line will flash. If you are prepared to accept a train, click on the slot and it'll go steady. The route for the train will set automatically.
If its some help,I am playing the sim with the Westbury avoiding lines closed scenario.

2084 posts 		The first issue is a bug, which has been fixed in the latest version being tested.

2O66 appears to be a bug too, which I will log.

72 posts 		Another bug:


In the above image,point no.PW894A/B is failed under reverse detection as can be seen in the F11 panel.As train 3S12 is booked to the DR,I have brought it to a standstill at the signal and then after winding the points to the REVERSE position,I authorised it past the signal but came to a stop at the points saying that they are set against the train.After that I wound the points NORMAL,the train started moving.In reality it is taking the reverse path of the points.

Khalid.
EDIT:
I made a mistake.The points were wound to normal and train actually took the straight path:



What happened earlier is that despite having wound the points reverse,the train said that the points are set against it.

Online 		The "points set against train" message has been recorded in similar circumstances on other sims and is now on the bug board.
