#15360, thanks. That must have been in there for quite a while with nobody spotting (or reporting) it!

The first train from Darlington even now has a 15 ENG allowance built in between Darlington and Northallerton, this is to allow for slower running should the train run 'wrong road' under SIMBIDS.

" said: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.The platform 5A/5B was an operational change not a signalling change. This was done so that TPE train stop on 5B and thus passengers know where to stand with a 3 car train stopping on the long platform, it was sometimes a bit hit and miss, especially with passengers who didnt know the unmarked stopping point. Also all the 'long distance' trains now stop on 5A, this enables the VTEC trains to stop lined up with their 'stopping' trains in P6. As far as the display in the IECC there is only a P5.

" said:Springwell Lane telephones go to Low Gates which is presumably why it's slotted.Geoff, You are correct about the telephones/slots. Low Gates is effectively a crossing box to us, and as they are in control of the crossing (telephones) the signals are slotted so they can put back the signals if required in an emergency. In reality the slot are always given so that as soon as we in York set the route, the signals clear. Had a look at this at work tonight (LOS at Low Gates), and tried it out. York set the route Y701GPL to Y500LOS, which is repeated on the diagram in Low Gates Box, the route sets (signal stays red), Low Gates drops the barriers and when able gives slot LG5 for signal Y701GPL, which then clears. Hope this helps everyone Last edited: 24/05/2016 at 21:02 by Essexgirl Log in to reply The following users said thank you: officer dibble, sunocske, JamesN, GeoffM |

I am on the 15th Oct 1009 timetable at 1855 hours. The trains 6H89 and 4D74 both arrive at Gasgoigne Wood West around the same time. The locomotives require to perform a run round but after the movement the locomotives will not join. Its funny that some timetables and sims manage to work joins well such as Motherwell and Carlisle with no difficulty and then we have a new sim which does not.

Tongue firmly in cheek here, but I wouldn't have expected any trains to run on the 15th October 1009. I will at this point get my coat and shout taxiiiiiii ![]() Paul You have to get a red before you can get any other colour Log in to reply |

What is the status of the light engines under F2 (Stopped at xxxxxx, train yyyy in front, etc)? If you click on a berth, or sticky note with the light engine's Train ID, what location is at the top of the list? Log in to reply |

Thanks for replies. Yes the year 1009 is a bit early for trains ! The status of one of the locos was : train in front. I think the other train was held at a shunt signal which was at red. I tried to move this loco by authorising it to pass at red but that had no effect. Whilst I am writing this, I remember that some sims allow an easy edit of the timetable to the location at the join. The loco then recognises its "new" location and usually performs the join. Unfortunately there newer sims seem to have an in-built complication which prevents one from editing the location and the loco can never be stepped to its join location. Log in to reply |

Am enjoying York but who am I meant to call to ask for permission for trains approaching Y243 routed for York Yard North? I have checked the wiki and as below it doesn't actually say :doh York Yard North Permission is required to enter York Yard North from Y243/245/247 and Y262/312/666. The yard will phone you to inform of a departing train. When approaching Y243 to go into the yard, a train will come to a stand some tens of seconds before the position light aspect will light, allowing the train to proceed. It is not known why the approach control timeout is overly long. Other then that, so far it's been a good learning curve learning all the various routes ![]() Last edited: 30/05/2016 at 12:29 by ajax103 Log in to reply |

Can the player place blocks on the first controlled signal in the sim at places where trains enter ie Signal 735 has a Blok, would I be right in assuming all trains booked over that line would pass Signal 737 as the first controlled signal?

Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick. Log in to reply |

York has now been updated to version 1.2. Issues fixed are listed here. The main issue of interest is the issue of trains running Gascoigne Wood<->Sherburn Jn<->Church Fenton<->Colton Jn which I believe should now be fixed.

I've just started York and it's great. I've got all the ARS switched on in IECC mode at the moment, it's good for learning the sim. Thanks for another highly addictive and really well made product.

" said:A telephone call to North Yard lists choice signal 248. This should be signal 243!The logic is that you enter the yard via [the back of] signal 248. Otherwise the call would be from 635, 243, 245, and 247 which is a bit long. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following user said thank you: BarryM |

Quote: For referenceI wonder whether the Low Gates to York interface simplifies it a bit. For example, LG4 is the slot for Y482, Y698, and Y696, only one of which can ever be set at a time. http://photos.signalling.org/picture?/12717/category/1224-2008 SimSig Boss Last edited: 25/07/2016 at 15:54 by GeoffM Log in to reply |

" said:Your photo is correct, all three signals share LG4 slot. The signals are all SSI controlled (as are all the York signals at Low Gates) and all in the same location case. They all have 2 routes, to Y480 and Y478. Only Y480 requires the slot. The slot request for LG4 is only on one input from Low Gates. Last edited: 28/07/2016 at 20:10 by pm77 Log in to reply |

Judging by the chatter in the shoutbox some very strange things are happening. Noting the bug you had in Kings Cross multiplayer yesterday hosted by a different person, I can only conclude there is an issue with the speed of your connection, I was only able to reproduce both bugs if I set up a connection between two machines and artificially throttle the speed.
