Hmmm, that is weird. Did you get any messages about a signal failure?

It looks as if the green lamp has failed on 68, so when BP0 goes to yellow 68 becomes unlit. This appears to be affecting the logic that controls the lowering of the (crossing-keeper controlled) LCs at Puxton and Huish.

To work around the issue, route trains via the DPL, only clearing the signal at the end of the loop when the train has passed 68.

There have previously been cases of strange behaviour there due to the crossing keepers getting very confused by signal failures. Sadly, hiring slightly smarter crossing keepers isn't easy in Simsig!

Yes,a signal failure had been notified in Yatton area.
However,during that particular flashing sequence,the driver did not get an ACOA.After a little while,the train also proceeded normally.
