Diverted trains changing direction 12/06/2015 at 00:19 #73161

Hi all

Please see attached save. Due to a points failure at Clapham Yard and a delayed train on the slow at Earlsfield, I have diverted the following trains: 2D23 (currently at Wimbledon 7), 2H23 (Clapham Jn 9) and 2C27 (Clapham Jn 5).

Each of these trains has changed from 'Down' to 'Up' direction on arriving in the platform, and also the expected departure time shown on the Train List is well after the tabled time.

I expect 2D23 would have stopped at Clapham and changed ends too, if I hadn't removed its stops at Clapham and Earlsfield to get it moving a bit.

I haven't done anything different here than what I'd do in any other sim - changed the platform number via 'Edit Timetable' and then set the routes, turning ARS back on once it passed the problem area so it would correct its own route.

None challenged the road at any point.

Hours previously, I removed a train which was out of my area (Surbiton) because I diverted it to get around a failure and it changed direction. Didn't notice the trend until now.

Have I missed something in diverting these trains?

As a more minor query, ARS keeps trying to set me up:

1] a small number of trains entering from Hampton Court direction report as being off-path and ARS doesn't engage

2] ARS at Vauxhall keeps trying to cross main fast trains to the slow despite them being tabled to continue in on the fast, even when tabled to platforms 10-15

3] trains from Clapham Yard automatically routed to 1 siding to depart in the down direction need to be manually given CY2 if required for length, with no alarm or message

All of these are perfectly manageable compared to the above, however!
