Next set location is Britannia Bridge, although it complains of lack of paths between CS and the bridge. (I expect this is the reoccuring issue of unexpected locations i.e. - is Rev BR32 coded as the only legal next location?)

Also, what goods line?!?

Indeed in the release copy the only path available from the carriage sidings is to the reverse point, it is fixed in my copy.

It's a class 1 train and as Bangor sidings is a goods line it's complaining about it, just tell it to accept route on to goods line and it'll be fine. Not sure which timetable this is (Assuming one you're writing yourself, you can tick use freight lines speeds in the train type to avoid it complaining about the goods line)

In the past, before the invention of seeded trains it was perfectly permissible to seed trains using goods sidings as entry points and not be penalised for doing so. That said, it shouldn't matter whether or not the sidings is a goods line, the route for which it has been set is not a goods line. I don't understand therefore why I should be getting this warning.

I can think of a few other sims where this happened / happens, Gloucester, Cscot (The original .exe version I've yet to play the paid version for any length of time)

It is just a side effect of seeding trains on what are in effect goods lines.

Also the first track circuit that route is set over is classed as a goods line, hence the drivers complaint.

As I said previously if you tick "use freight line speeds" for that train it will prevent it from happening.

I realised this myself and concluded the thing to do is just code the exit ULC as goods, the entry ULC is then free to seed (if needed).

The caveat of course being the train will run at freight line speeds instead of Passenger.

The call is just advisory (there may be a small points penalty, but I can't remember the last time I cared about the score in a SimSig game) - the driver saying "Do you really want me to do this" - it's not hugely disruptive.

An inventive solution Peter, thanks for the tip.

Is 1D15 a seed train? If so, it can be seeded at Bangor SBR4 or SBR7 anyway.

AndyG's suggestion is probably the best way around this problem as the idea of a seed is to place a train where it should be at the start of any timetable.

No passenger train should be in that yard, so it would be more sensible just to seed it in the platform.

That's all very well, but doesn't North Wales Coast pre-date seeding being available?

Having just checked it appears to support seeding, it's the original incarnation where the train needs the timing point before it's next timing point it'll get to in order to work.

Nope, I did check the sim before posting. Only issue would be whether it needed Bangor as its first location or not.

I don't quite understand what you're trying to say here...

I'd also just like to point out that this isn't actually a timetabled seed, it was just a test as part of something else. But the indications raised (no valid path to Menai Bridge/route onto a goods line) seemed AFAIWC to be contrary to typical behaviours in other sims.

AIUI: It supports seeding, but for the seeding to work each individual train needs a timing point before the next timing point. So, a train seeding at Signal LJ71 (Down line between Llandudno Junction and Conwy) would need Llandudno Junction in as the first timing point, even though it has already passed that location.

Possibly; but I now believe that this has since been changed/fixed in the current version of the Core Code, hence trains now only require locations onwards of their seed points (so, Conwy station, if appropriate, in the example I gave).

Not a bug but a situation where enhancement was required.. TT writers started trying to use seeding in ways for which it was not originally designed. The seeding was then re-coded to allow for the additional functionality required.
