1987 timetable

There's only one real answer to this.

I suggest we meet at the NRM, inspect the class 76 they have, then adjourn to the York Tap!

6T82 Earles Sdgs - Peak Forest is offered early from Earles while the outward leg Peak Forest to Earles was still standing at Chinley East waiting a path. Should there be a rule to prevent this happening?


Regards,

Phil.

The revised wtt is fine, with 0T83 behaving as it should, etc.
All well until 1311 (Mon) when the appropriate 6F42 fails to make an appearance. Still no joy at 1330, in easy mode.

Kev, herewith.

I've just had a quick look at the save. I suspect it's tied into the decisions as the decision for 0F42 has selected the 47/0 option but the decision for 6F42 has selected the 2x20 option, so the sim is looking for 6F42201311 to enter, but the rule says that has to wait for $0F42201206 to leave the area, this hasn't run as the decisions made 0F42471206 run.
There shouldn't be a decisions tab for 6F42 as it's driven by 0F42

The TT developer has created a timetable Decision (F4-> Decisions tab) that chooses the day at the start of the week; a loco is seeded on Peak Forest fuel point to determine which day is chosen. There are five identical schedules for this loco, each of which represents a different day. In this case, the TT developer has not programmed in an announcement; in other timetables you'll be given a message in the incident report stating the day, or for other decisions. There is no way to select the day of the week on start-up; you'll either have to edit the TT to remove the choices for the days you don't want, save and re-load, or just keep loading the timetable until you get the required day.

There is no 'wrap around' for the following day; you can only play one day per game.

The lack of a wrap around is definitely good news for me on this occasion, I still have Carlisle and the brand new Catchcart on my "to-do list"! But I'm definitely happy to understand how it works for future games :)

I've been playing this TT recently, and I'm up to 09:15. I had issues with the Buxton RR ground frame - I was putting the handsignal back on the driver, so they called in three times while I tried to work out the procedure!

I think giving me a 20700 point penalty might a bit harsh though. :-)

A penalty that severe is more probably caused by irregularities with the quarry blasting.

I can confirm that no blasting was taking place when I got the penalty. I must have done something, but I don't know exactly what it was.
