Hi there I am hoping someone can help.

When I load Kings Cross (latest version of loader and sim) with this TT i get an error message.

The error message says SwingSet not all swingable.

rodney30,

This issue came up during the testing of the TT & doesn't affect the t/t in any way. I am reliably informed it is something to do with a ground frame within the sim. Click OK to clear the message & the t/t will behave as one would expect it to.

Hope you are enjoying it? :cheer:

When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

It appears that the error is caused by the way seeds are loaded into this sim.

Could points 2101 at Finsbury be causing this error?

I found the cause. Not the points 2101 but seeded train 4E65-1 at Palmers Green S837. I moved this seed to S831 and the timetable loaded correctly.

1E03 is shown in the Network Rail WTT has being timetabled into platform 0.

It's actually from the King's Cross Wikipedia page, and is missing half the sentence from the Sectional Appendix. It's due to the low roof and is permitted in an emergency, or if it's a rescue loco, or it's an authorized move. Also the SA only makes note of the low roof, nothing to do with any 'ventilation system'.

Also Network Rail aren't known for their knowledge of the Sectional Appendix, nor the location of pointwork/junctions when writing timetables.

No, that's a Leeds to Aberdeen service, it'd have to coast a fair way at each end.

Because that's what Network Rail put.

Tony,

Having personally been allowed to signal on KX panel, I can confirm there is only one train in the late evening prohibited from using Platform 0, which is a 91+DVT, it's due to sighting issues apparently. If NR put P0, it goes into P0. End of story. It also actually goes into P0, so it's not a big problem, despite the 'no diesel beyond this point'. I think it's mainly to prevent it happening a lot, so scheduled into O0=fine, platform changing an HST to P0=not fine.

Jamie.

I can confirm, whilst it is not ideal, HSTs are permitted to use Platform 0 at KGX as decpicted in this photo

The full instruction is:



[quote="Sectional Appendix"]LN101 - KINGS CROSS TO SHAFTHOLME JN
KINGS CROSS


Prohibition of Diesel & Steam Services Entering Platform 0

Diesel and steam services are prohibited from entering platform 0 due to the low roof except in the following
circumstances:

• Under an emergency to unload passengers
• Train rescue diesel locomotive - engine to be kept running for maximum of 5 minutes while in the exclusion zone
• Authorised move by the signal box

Diesel traction with formations of ‘5+2’ or more

On approach to signal K296, (0km 0937m / 0m 1025yrds), if incorrectly routed into platform 0 come to a safe stop and
advise the signaller of the error. The signaller will either re-route the train or give authority to proceed into platform 0. On entering platform 0, stop at the buffer stop and power down engines. Power-up engines 10 minutes before departure time, not before.

Diesel traction with formations less than ‘5+2’
On approach to signal K296, (0km 0937m / 0m 1025yds), if incorrectly routed into platform 0 come to a safe stop and
advise the signalman of the error. The signaller will either re-route the train or give authority to proceed into platform 0. On entering platform 0, stop short of the lower roof inside the station building and power down engines. Power-up engines 10 minutes before departure time, not before.

I'm regularly in and around KX (often on buses down the side of the station) and I've seen a HST in there quite a few times. I also thought they were barred from P0 (didn't know why) but they're definitely put there.

In any case... RTT (which I know isn't necessarily accurate) suggests 1B81 from Lincoln used it yesterday, and the set formed 1S11 to Aberdeen.

I had started a response but Steamer summed it up.

I knew of the "ban" (thought it was something to do with the roof) and remember commenting to someone I was with when I saw a HST there.

1B81/1S11 supposedly (according to RTT) used it yesterday. I know RTT isn't necessarily accurate but there we are.

RTT (I think) updates the platform number according to the berth steps, so it should be accurate.

Hmm, I thought the restriction had been lifted - I seem to see HSTs in platfrom 0 on an almost daily basis!

I think there is/was a 'no diesels past this point' sign under the canopy at P0. I'll have to check when I'm next there.
