Run around procedure

Is the route there to get from the reversing point to the platform?

Have you set the reversing point on the TT as the apppopriate signal?

this is a freight class 6 so it will only have the one engine at the front

There appears to be a path missing between Banbury North and Banbury (Mantis 20164), meaning you can't timetable a reversal at the north end at the moment.

Not necessarily- if it's an engineer's train it could be top and tailed. It could also be a track machine (a tamper, for example). Where's the train coming from/going to, and what's the timing load?

it doesn't say the train is 6j42 train uid ∇54910 running from Westbury Down Yard to Greenford West Junction

Assuming that Kims dated the TT wrong in the 0Z06 thread and is doing Xmas Eve as per this thread https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/47581. As you can see 6J42 is indeed a Colas tamper

6J42

Runs on 24/12/2017
VSTP schedule runs Su from 24/12/2017 - 24/12/2017
Operated by Colas
Civil Engineers
Diesel Locomotive
Timed to run at 134mph

BTW Kim on VSTP ignore the timed to run at speeds as all VSTPs do not generate the correct timing speed

On the south side, the following path worked for me: BAN P1 -> BAN Rec Rd -> BAN S (Rev. 9111) -> BAN P3

I must admit, I couldn't work out how to run around the Fenny Compton side though...!

Banbury

Banbury

2016 era assumed due to mention of OL9111.

Banbury North-> Banbury path missing, as posted above. (#20164)

For VSTP the number is in metres per second (60mph in this case). I can't remember the back story, probably VSTPs are prepared on a different system to regular timetables.

Surely 134 metres per second is even faster? As close as makes no difference 300 mph?
