Timetable Puzzlement 12/03/2016 at 20:07 #81139

I am currently running Rugby SCC South 15-10-10 although I am at a loss to explain why a service has already operated when the train to form it hasn't even finished it's own working :huh:

I have 2W89 17:04 London Euston to Milton Keynes Central formed of 2 x Class 350s running on time and when it gets to Milton Keynes Central it then forms a ECS that being 18:17 Milton Keynes Central to Bletchley C.S however as the time in the sim is only just 17:55 I fail to see how a service booked to depart at 18:17 can already have run when the service to form it hasn't even reached it's station of origin!

Anyone care to throw some light on this?

Every service appears to run as timetabled! When/How did the 18:17 5K99 run early?

What do you mean it has already run specifically? Played this through many times and not experienced this.

I have no idea, when you look on the Timetable tool which shows all the trains, it's not highlighted meaning it has already run BUT when that train terminated at Milton Keynes Central and formed that 5K99, it picked it up with no issues.

Hence I'm confused!

Trains do change from black to grey when they enter/are formed at the origin station. However, it is perfectly possible to have several trains form the same new service at various points during the day and it won't cause immediate problems, although that obviously isn't advised.

That said, I'm struggling to see what's caused the problem- only 2W89 forms 5K99.
