York North/South

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

One issue I have with both York and Leeds, which is probably prototypical but a little irritating all the same:

You get the 'strike in' sound and text warning about a train entering the area long before it actually appears; in some cases a number of minutes. This is particularly frustrating in locations such as Darlington where I only get very limited control around the fringes; as I'd typically respond to the warning to check the stopping pattern by clicking the TD and set routes as necessary. However with the warning coming long before the train actually enters I end up doing other things to find a non-stopping train slowing down for a signal check at Darlington.

I know I can manually interpose or use stickies; but it seems odd to give the warning long before it is possible to react to it within the sim.

It mentions it twice... once in the York South (York station) section, and again in the Timetabling section.

Turn off "Train entering area" messages and turn on "TD berth occupation/change". However, this won't work for older sims.

I think I've found a bug, a train was entering platform 9 in the down direction and I had routed an up train into platform 10 and train entering platform 9 (1S03) TD's changed to the other end of the platform as shown the in screenshot.

Feel free to either read the Manual, or the last four messages in this thread.

Oh, so there are multiple pages! I'd been lulled into thinking that manuals came in two formats - multi-page manuals linked off a contents page (e.g. South Humberside), and single page manuals (e.g. Fenchurch St). York combines the two and I simply assumed it was one page, and searching "X" on the page found nothing.

Does older sims mean "anything else but York" or "sims more than a few months/years old"?

I don't see my issue mentioned? As far as I can see, the manual about TD stepping was talking about calling-on routes. This wasn't a calling on route.

You've brought the train in under either warner class, shunt class, or call on class route. It is normal for the TD to step into the rear berth in these cases. (so as not to overwrite the TD at the far end)

What he's saying is setting a route into 10 has moved the TD in 9 which it shouldnt (nothing to do with warners or call ons.

The route from 353 (DF) to 355 (DS) at Tollerton is approach release from red. I'm a little surprised that this is the case, given that the crossover is good for 70mph, and that other crossovers in the area are amply provided with FY/FYY sequences. Is this true to life?

The route from 307 to 313 (skelton junction down main up direction signal to the down fast) drops out immediately as you set it, but the signal behaves as if the route is still active,even though the route locking is completely non present as shown in the picture:

The points in the route are free to move and doing so causes the aspect to revert, but the signal re clears when you put the points back It seems the aspect logic only checks the point positions and not the fact that the route locking exists. Running a train through causes the TC's to flood, but the train behaves as if the route is still there. But those last two sentences seem to just be symptoms of the route locking vanishing on the route and not separate problems of their own.

So all these cows and sheep that want to cross the line at 02.00 ... when I answer the call with "call back after next train", the train passes the crossing but no call is received for a good few minutes afterwards. I can't remember if in other sims the caller comes back to you as soon as the train is clear, but there seems to be a big delay between the train passing and the caller calling back in this sim.

Just something I've noticed.

This has been reported. Mantis 15317 applies.



Kev

Not a major issue just something for if the timetable gets updated but 1P25's train description in 2016 TT say's 09:55 Leeds to Manchester Airport despite the fact it starts at York. Loving the sim so far, it's a great single player sim!

I noticed on viewing a very recent video of York Station in Youtube that platform 5 is actually split into 5a and 5b. This simulation seems to make no mention of this.

Secondly, entry to North Yard requires a telephone call but I do not see signal Y243 on the list of possible entry points. Can someone please explain why there is a list of signals which bear no relation to the entry point ?
