Hi all,
Today I'm working on a fresh timetable for Carlisle since my last one was a pain. So the aim of this timetable would be to show what it's like when processions are happening up north between Gretna Jn and Lockerbie. With TPE and VT Trains terminating at Carlisle and running back towards Preston, with a few going via Dumfries. So I have come to an issue with these engineering trains e.g. Carlisle Yard to Grenta Jn which i have all the headcodes for e.g. 6K** trains. Link below ect. I have 10 of them planning to terminate at Gretna Jn and then move off towards Lockerbie.
(http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/XGS/2015/04/04/0000-2359?stp=S&show=all&order=wtt). What do i need to do for them as Gretna Jn will be last location and termination point.
Also i cannot remember fully but for trains enterning areas how many mins for a freight or passenger?
Up Dumfries, Lockerbie, Carnforth North Jn, Wigton, Hexham & Settle.

Worth me adding, Since the freight early hours of 4th are slim, I've decided to add some from Mon to Fri been careful to have them timed through the Procession.

OK, so the timetable has been written. Testing stage to be done this week. Now then there was a few diverted trains all 4 sleepers, mail and a few intermodals and hoppers. But I've added them into the timetable as i though it was still possible. The sleepers are now under Serco Caledonian Sleeper and run with 2x 92s and 2x 90s in hire from DB. You will know which is which when they enter. I've added the Dalston tanks which i have no idea how to use that GF lol. I've added the mail and the intermodals/hoppers and during the week before the 4th i've added in some extra working and light engine movements.
Timetables:
Carlisle 4th April 2015 00:00 to 23:59
Carlisle 4th April 2015 04:30 to 23:59

The Procession's:
Gretna Jn to Beattock Summit
07:45 4th April through till 03:00 7th April

Penrith to Lancaster
21:30 4th April through till 05:00 6th April

I'm getting used to the Dalston ground frames.

I have a timetable stepping issue with some down trains. they TRTS at Milnthorpe
but the train is at Carlisle. after comparing different trains timetables some
have Milnthorpe in some don't. maybe that's where the problem lies.

1 rule didn't work I had 4S53-1 enter at Kingmoor while 4S53 was at Carlisle.

up to 0800 while I write this.

Strictly speaking, no trains should be timed at Milnthorpe as they aren't timed there in the real WTT. Unless booked to stop in a loop or something like that, trains are only timed at Carnforth North Jn, Oxenholme, Tebay, Penrith, Carlisle, Grenta Jn, Kirkpatrick Signal MC862 (Up)/Signal MC863 (Down) and Lockerbie.

timetable timing points not in wiki.

So, the sim allowed you to timetable a train northbound using Milnthorpe but the sim did not step up the timetable?

I can't recall why the allowable timetable paths were set up to work that way but it sounds like there could be a sim bug of some kind.

If possible could you send me the timetable that had the problem?

Thanks

Hi to all, Thanks for your updates I've sorted out the Dalston Rules. Just been reading through about the location 'Milnthorpe' When I wrote the TT I selected the location as from Carnforth North Jn most of the trains have that location included. I will go through the timetable and remove that location point.
The 1 rule that was mentioned by uboat about 4S53.. When I tested it, it did come out a few mins early so when the train was going into KM it was coming out at the same time. I'll have a look at that rule maybe just a little type error. TomOF I've attached the WTT/WTR files for you have a look at to check if it was a bug..

I'll have a quick look at the rule, I've a hunch what the glitch is.

Edit:- as per your thought of rule type error, the rule needed is:-
4S83-1 must not enter until (say) 40 minutes after 4S43 leaves the area.

Hello to all, thanks again for your comments. So what have I got for you well all the train's that had location 'Milnthorpe' in there TTs has been removed. The rules for the Dalston Tanks have been entered and the rules at Kingmoor have been redone. Thanks to AndyG the trains are now set to e.g. 4S43-1 must not enter until 47 minutes after 4S43 leaves the area. 4S53 has the correct platform now instead of the dead end platform 2 really it should off been platform 1.
I've attached the new versions below.

Looking into it Milnthorpe was in the data as a location which could be used to timetable trains but had not assigned it to any tracks which is why the timetable was not stepping up. It should have only been used for advising of a signalling fault in the area.

I believe I had intended to use it if the emergency ground frames where ever brought into use but this still does not seem likely.

I have now amended the simuation data to prevent that location from being used.

Cheers

Hi Uboat, Thanks for the update. Just had a look at the TT notes and 1S73 was routed for Platform 4.. Looks like I selected 3 so I've put it to Platform 4. 1Z64/Z45 are to arrive and depart Platform 1 as booked. Mystery to why 4S55/4S55-1 Rule disappeared when sorting it out.. So I've put it back in and should be ok..

I'll keep hold of the updated TT here just incase anymore edits need to be done. Meanwhile I will write a Timetable Description that I did not do whoops :blush:

I can't remember which 1 but 1 down passenger train was booked into P1 at Penrith
or Oxenholme instead of P2.

are you rewriting this timetable for the loader version for when it's released?

Can a Admin/Moderator take down my current Carlisle 04-04-2015 timetable from the Carlisle Timetable page please as I have a new one to upload ready by end of this week.

Following Issues:

  1. Rules for Dalston Oil Trains

  2. TRTS at Milnthorpe but the train is at other locations

  3. 1 rule didn't work 4S53-1 enter at Kingmoor while 4S53 was at Carlisle

  4. 4S53 booked in platform 2 around 05:56

  5. 4S43 4S45 4S53 and 6Z50 Rules need ammending

  6. 1S73 clashes with 1Z64 - 1Z45 in platform 1.

  7. 4S55 - 4S55-1 had a missing rule

  8. 1 down passenger train was booked into P1 at Penrith or Oxenholme instead of P2.

  9. 2C33 08:32 inbound platform 2 carlisle then works 2C40 Which leaves at 08:28!



All the above issues have now been fixed and have been tested and work out better than last time. Only one issue to the singallers is 4Z71 in the 0430 start was booked into Shap Summit Loop but since now trains are behind it for a while it's a clear run to Carnforth.

If a train is ready for departure at Milnthorpe but thinks its at a different location then one has been missed.

I'd be interested to know which trains you are seeing this on so I can look at sim issues.
