I am working through this timetable and several times ... too many times ... I am finding that trains timetabled to go into the near end of the platform (6B etc etc) will not clear the approach pointwork, leaving their tail sticking out. If you are using this timetable it is probably best to clear the route all the way down the platform, although that usually leaves the train description behind if the train reverses there. The trains that reverse will not accept "Reverse direction" so as to shunt forward, so you have to kill the simulation. Log in to reply |

Check what stopping position is shown in the TT. If it is set to Default you can sometimes get the space you need by changing it to Far End or Far End Exact. 2. If you want a train to shunt forward, you can abandon the TT through F2, then change direction/shunt forward and after that use "Run to another TT" to reinstate the TT for the train. That way you don't have to kill the sim. PS If you run to another TT, remember to use F2 to edit the TT and make sure that the current location is set correctly. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 08/10/2017 at 13:10 by postal Reason: None given Log in to reply |

In the years since the simulation was released with that timetable I've never heard the trains being too long. Can you give us a couple of headcodes and time of day (since some are duplicated) so we can see if it's a timetable error or not?

For details, see Post 93044 (heading Timetable Problem?), as I can't get the Link to insert properly! I've not come across any length problems with other platforms. I don't know if the timetable has been updated since then, but I suspect not. Last edited: 24/10/2017 at 17:12 by Lyn-Greenwood Reason: Can't get Link to work Log in to reply |
