Manchester East

Signal AMN2 is, from what I can see, the only simulated semaphore signal with 2 signal arms. Unlike on sims like Central Scotland and NE Scotland, the entire signal is not clickable, only the left hand signal is able to be clicked.
Is there a possibility that the entire signal could be made clickable?

Following from the issue of 6M02 that was reported in the TT topic. I Abandoned 6M04 TT when he got to Stalybridge so that he would run up the Ashton Line, reassigning the TT at Ashton Moss North Junction. He continued to run without issue until he got to BF18. However routing BF18 to the Exit Triangle on the Baguley Line, the route to MN835 and Philips Park South Jn, BF18 Will not clear.

BF18 clears when a route is set to BF16, and the route from BF16 will clear to MN812 (Philips Park West Jn).

Sim V1.0
Loader v4.6.12

Nath, we didn't manage to get this sort for tonight's update, and we didn't want to hold back the update given the issue over a wrong route call. However this is now fixed for the next update.

less bug more query. the Simsig Sim splits the workstation into the areas of the former boxes for multiplayer purposes etc. does it correctly reflect absolute block working too? Ie do Dinting and Ashton Moss North still work AB to Manchester east and vice versa? or was this replaced when the workstation opened?

I know for definite that Dinting does.

Just before I was about to buy this new sim, I remembered that I have a credit left over from the generous draw that was run when Newport was released.
Can an admin tell me how that credit might be applied to a purchase of this sim, please?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Dinting on the other hand, I would like to know in reality when Out of Section is given to Guide Bridge

Stalybridge Atochem siding - two questions
1) what's the method/ key timetabling points for getting a train out of Atochem to Guide Bridge? A test working seems to reject all attempts to set up a move between the two.

2) should Atochem be an additional entry/ exit location, or is it really intended to have a train "locked in" there for several hours until it departs?

Looks like there are three issues there:

*Trains aren't recognising Stalybridge SE7035 (Rev) when they arrive there, and are passing through non-stop [Mantis 20065]
*Trains won't accept a route towards the Up Huddersfield at Stalybridge if their next location is Stalybridge SE7035 (Rev) [#20066]
*There's no path from the Autochem siding to Guide Bridge [#20067]

As it's a single track siding in the era simulated, there's nothing wrong with that. The siding is the same as any other location; you can have it form a next working, or split and join in there. Entry/exit points are generally used where there are multiple sidings at the location.

Ive checked with someone at stockport S&T. The indicator is worked by a plunger located at Flowery Field which the traincrew have to plunge. There is a second one located on GB867 for the same purpose.

It’s at Newton for Hyde, not Flowery Field. Normally the guard will do it as we endeavour to stop with the back cab of a 323 in line with it. It’s a pain if it doesn’t operate as we have call from GB867 to confirm it hasn’t registered and get authority to climb out and operate the plunger which adds a couple of minutes to the trip - Naturally this only happens when it’s throwing it down!
