I want to reverse an MPV at Herne Hill VS595 and send it back towards Beckenham Junction, but I cannot get it to validate. This seems the logical sequence, but it's not having any of it :huh: ![]() Any thoughts? Log in to reply |

Which era John? EDIT: Looking at the sig diagrams on the wiki (thanks Steamer) it has me stumped too! I'll see if I can figure something out when I'm doing some more TT writing on Eastern later Gareth Last edited: 21/06/2014 at 15:32 by TimTamToe Log in to reply |

Modern era, Gareth. Unusually, if you try and turn the train around in platform 2 and send it back to Beckenham from there, it will validate - even though there are no points to get it there! Which year are you writing for, Gareth? Log in to reply |

No, it rejects 4 as well.

" said:No, it rejects 4 as well.Strange as you can set the route but it won't validate. Only thing I can think of as a work around is to reverse it in P3 or 4 instead of at VS595 Gareth Log in to reply |

Can't get into platforms 3 or 4 from Beckenham, unfortunately. I think I'm going to have to reverse it at Wandsworth Road on the reversible. Log in to reply |

" said:Strange as you can set the route but it won't validate.Being able to set a route doesn't necessarily imply much about what the timetabling system thinks you can set! Certainly not the first time that a movement isn't accepted due to an error or omission in the TT logic. Last edited: 21/06/2014 at 22:31 by Danny252 Log in to reply |

I've put this in our issue/idea system, number 11014. I think with that version, even if it won't validate, it will still work. As Danny surmises, the validation is independent of what might actually happen! ![]() SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Thanks Geoff As it stands, the trains timetable is invalid and it will not enter the sim, but now that I have changed it to reverse at Wandsworth Road it works fine. Log in to reply |
