I will be patient but have only one word: Gimme (please!)

Will it come with a Southern emergency timetable with 75% of the trains cancelled? :laugh:

The level crossing at Hampden Park has an autoraise facility on it, however this will only operate if the CDB 2, CDB 3 and CDB 17 levers are restored to normal promptly any train restores the signal to danger. If the signaller fails to restore the lever in a timely manner then the level crossing will remain down even though the auto raise button is illuminated.

Above copied from the manual. It never worked that way when I worked there for 9yrs or when I paid it a visit before it closed.

Is this not just a limitation of SimSig? Can't think of any sims where where TORR is not switched on, that a level crossing will raise once a route, or the routes across it have been used without the route being pulled.

Limitations maybe, or maybe me just being a perfectionist for a location that I lioved to work. It had some greet sequential locking for the crossover points were used.

So did the LX auto-raise even with the signal levers reversed?

Yes as it was worked by track circuit occupation, in much the same way as a normal MCB-CCTV crossing.

Evening all,

Just a quick one to add, I've been looking at this sim and noticed that the ground frame at Polegate is labelled as "Polgate". Nothing major, just thought I'd raise it.

Thanks.

Well spotted. However had the level crossing name been misspelt, and you had been referring to that instead of the lever frame name, then that would have been a good pun. :)

At a manual crossing you might see the signalman POL the GATE shut too...........

Dearie me...

The joke is that you can not only raise an issue but you can also raise (the barriers on) a level crossing.
