York North/South

I was trying out the demo, and came across a little issue. If platform 11 is occupied and you attempt to set a route there from signal 300, the route will set toward platform 9, not platform 11.

I'll get some screenshots in the near future.

It appears that 300-216 incorrectly calls points 804 Reverse (i.e. set for P9) with either TJF or TJG occupied.

In the attached screenshot, I've just set the route, and 804 has begun swinging reverse. The route beyond Points 804 sets, but then drops out again.

No need for screenshots. Mantis 15308 applies.

Using the 15/10/09 TT (0445) Start ... The first up express 1A04 enters from Darlington at 0503 but is booked at Northallerton 0528 > 0529.30 so stands there for a good 15 minutes, maybe entry time should be 0515 ish

Another issue is that I get calls from "Copmanthorpe MWL" though this doesn't seem to exist post-2012 so isn't marked.
Thanks.

I've checked both eras and there is only one Copmanthorpe MWL, labeled Copmanthorpe No2 in each era so I suspect the either the phonecall is missing the NO2 off it, or its prototypical of the people using the crossing to just say Copmanthorpe rather than Copmanthorpe NO2.

In the top left corner, there is a spurious label, "TEL" - at a guess, it's a left over debug feature.

I'm attempting to timetable a move from Entry location Parcels Sdgs entry signal 628 GPS into the sdg with GPS 631 prior to vans being shunted into P11 to form the stock for 3D66 0410 Mail York - Leeds P.D. The York 1991-1992 A&D book states that this train departs from P4. Looking on the Quail & using the 2011 or earlier sim layout I suspect that the vans would come from Parcels Sdgs, however there doesn't seem to be a path from 'PARCELS SDGS' location to P11 via the dead end road signaled by 631GPS. There is an alternative location in the Entry List as 'PARCELS SDGS Y633 in the list which obviously involves a much longer shunt round to get the vans in P4. Can someone confirm that due to there being no valid path from the entrance of 'Parcels sdgs with 631 signal & as a result it's a case of having to use the 633 entrance until a new path has been added? I've gone through the York manual, there isn't much on that for timetabling this type of movement, nor is there anything timetabled in the timetables supplied with the sim.

Got a call from York South Yard (224) asking if 6E75 could enter and I gave permission for it to enter at 05:11 but it's now 05:24 and nothing has entered yet. (Spring 2016 TT)

They would enter at Y628. Even if you ran then via Y633 it would still need to enter at Y628.

I wonder if it was stored at holgate? Thats always been a popular place for holding parcels traffic at one time or another. I dont think he parcels sidings are really big enough for stock.

What is the difference between platforms 10/11 and 10X/11X? The manual is rather sparse and doesn't make any mention of these.
