Overshooting the platform at Didcot Parkway 15/04/2015 at 02:42 #71102

Hi! This is certainly a new one I haven't seen before.

Every so often (but not always), a train calling at Didcot Parkway platform 2 has overshot the platform when signal 912 is off. They occupy the track immediately beyond the signal but the train list correctly shows 'Stopped at Didcot Parkway'. They then depart without any issue. It definitely isn't a track failure beyond the signal (no ACOA and the track circuits drop and pick up in the correct sequence).

If the signal is at danger they always stop in the platform correctly.

See screenshots:





I've played SwinDid loads and loads of times and never seen this before. Just started this game yesterday. Sim version 4.3 (build 7), loader 4.4.

It's happened 3 times so far, however when I load from a snapshot and give 1L08 the road early, it stops properly at the platform. The watched pot never boils, it seems. Snapshot attached:

I have reported this exact same behavior a couple of times here and here, so presumably Geoff and co are aware.
