Hi all, Am I going mad? I haven't played this SIM in a while and the last time I did it when I wanted to bring a train into service from watford sidings via platform 6 there was no slot involved. Now when I ask for the route it says slot needed. I ask for the slot and get it granted and it still says slot required for this route? What am I missing here? Thanks Log in to reply |

I might be going senile in my old age (blame lockdown for that!)... Running the 2012 timetable and 5D46 is booked to shunt P4 - sidings via P6. Despite getting the points release it will not let me set a route from WS309 to WJ761 stating a slot is required. The only slot button is for routing from Platform 6 towards the DC lines...

Just under the train is a green roundel with slot next to it that is the slot request for the route you are wanting to set.

Thank you. :) - as a sidenote, I'd recommend looking up the user manuals if you are playing with sims you are unfamiliar with: they usually contain a wealth of data about these small operational details which might otherwise catch you off guard.
