Simplifier Order Bug 31/12/2016 at 21:42 #91220

I'm currently playing on a King's Cross multiplayer session and to help me out I've printed off the simplifier for King's Cross but I've noticed that whilst most of the trains are in order of time (as requested on the simplifier drop-down), the first so many entries seem to ignore this order. I haven't tested it on any other sim yet and it only appears to be terminus stations with this issue as Welwyn Garden City also does the same but Alexandra Palace does not, possibly because the train has already arrived? An example in the attached screenshot.

From looking at the screenshot the first lot have an arrival time of '--:--' rather than a blank arrival time. The sort algorithm obviously identifies this as needing to be show before 00:00 and so they are listed before any of the other arrival times. 2C03 on the other hand has an arrival time of ' - ' (blank) and so the systems ignores its arrival time and uses the departure time to correctly place this train in the order.

What timetable is in use here?

The sim had already been run in by 5 hours (I believe) and I made two print outs, one at 05:00 and the other one as shown in the screenshot (can't remember the time) both of which the same thing occurred. The timetable is KX 4-day 2013.

Indeed - I'm intrigued by the train with a passing time at platform 0. Did someone reinstate the York Curve while I wasn't looking?

I had a guess at the KX 4 day November 2013 TT and having looked at it 1T01-1 has the passing time ticked. I would day it appears it is a simple TT error that has gone un-noticed until now

Or maybe it should have been P9 3/4?

Sorry Andy, what is the story behind P9 3/4. 1/4 now a car park?

It's a very famous platform, here's a photograph of it.

You are 100% correct on that.
Network rail and others have been carrying out maintenance work since then and have now relocated it to another location. Please find below the results of their labour as viewed by my good self at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday 11th January 2017.
I think a train is due judging by the people waiting along with their luggage and such......he he

The guy on the previously posted picture had just received information from an East Coast rep and said the whole experience was like talking to a brick wall
