Loving this sim! Having played Fenchurch Street to death just after it came out, I was really pleasantly surprised to see the full line released as a sim, and with a discount to those that had already bought Fenchurch Street too! Thanks!

Just a quick notice to say trains are losing their TDs when travelling from Signal 865 to Signal 669 at West Thurrock Junction (i.e. going from the Ockendon Branch straight onto the Down Tilbury line).

Sorry, I can't reproduce this, and the data looks correct too. At a guess the TD was lost earlier, probably at Ockendon, but ARS set the route all the way to 669.

Thanks for looking into it. I turned ARS off from the loader when setting up the sim (probably should’ve mentioned that in the previous post, sorry!), so it was manually signalled to 669. I wish I had a save from before it happened…I should start turning the snapshots on! :blush:

I had a lost TD coming my way whilst a client on Tilbury panel.

Think the **** was at B0865, but the missed step could well have been 859-863, but wasn't watching closely as not on my panel...and Jinx was off duty. :doh

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

I did check 859 and 863 too, again nothing found. As Ockendon has two berths with ripple/shuttle steps, it's quite possible that the user managed to get the TD at the "wrong" end (eg by setting route out the other end). That would cause NDSD, per real life.

Quite possible, I'd left my panel in ARS, but London panel was ARS and autos off, so "couldn't possibly comment".

Update: The next couple of trains I routed to Grays (P3 this time) via the Down Tilbury Line kept their TDs. Interesting…
