I suspect I am being dumb, but ECSs scheduled to exit the DCS seem to get jammed up using DCS roads 2-4. Road 1 works fine: phone rings requesting authority to draw up to the outlet signal, authority is given and the train passes OX125 when cleared. From 2-4, the ECS simply sits at OX127 waiting "right away" for an infeasibly long time. What am I missing?

This does appear to be a bug- raised as Mantis 17595.

Please note, however, that if you're using one of the supplied timetables then you're running it in the wrong era. The Down Carriage Sidings are only in this configuration in the 2000 era; the 2009 TT should be run in the 2009 era, and the 2016 TT in the 2016 era. The 2009 TT will work if the simulation is in 2000 mode but you'll lose a bit of flexibility; the 2016 TT will be unplayable in 2000 mode. I'd re-start your game using the correct era.

Thanks for the reply and confirmation there's a bug. You're correct in guessing that I was running the 2009 TT in 2000 mode. Quite simply, that's the layout with which I'm familiar, so I wanted to see if I could remember how it worked! If someone would be willing to create a late 1970s/ early 1980s version with the goods yard still in use (2 more ground frames!) I'd be a very happy bunny.
