An updated version of the Motherwell groundhog day timetable is available in the Downloads area under timetables/motherwell. This has been extensively tested but there may still be some issues slipping through the cracks so please report them in this thread.

OH26 (L73202) and 6H26 (L73202) don't work. OH26 has a final timing point of Mossend (DR2) so stops on DR2 waiting to join 6H26. 6H26 has a rule which states that it must appear 20 minutes after 0H26 leaves the area. 0H26 doesn't leave the area so 6H26 never enters. When 6H26 does enter it is expecting to find 0H26 waiting to join it - so this needs to be taken account of when correcting WTT.

Another issue I have encountered several times, which require manual intervention, are reversals of long trains at MB298. Even with MB329 Off before the movement starts they are not proceeding far enough to be in rear of MB298. I am interested to hear whether your Testers were able to deal with these movements without manual intervention. A save is attached with 8N36 waiting to shunt via MB298. Post has attachments.

Does the timetable show N for near end stop? On first test they stopped wrong, but after the additional of the near End Stop they worked fine

I will admit that I thought it was ARS that was the cause given that in most cases this situation is normally caused by ARS, however it seems that the train does stop with the trailing end over the points. Noel The Timetable for said train Does have Near end listed and it still behaves a such. A quick test showed that if the train is to fit fully a default stopping position of far end would be required Last edited: 28/05/2018 at 16:05 by MarkC Reason: Changed text after further testing Log in to reply |

Certainly works on Plymouth, normal stopping position at Mount Gould isn't clear of the points if you don't give the shunt upto Friary, so you order an NX and the train phones up for the signal if you forget rather than reversing short.

In tonight's Motherwell - Carlisle chain it was found that the Motherwell TTs are missing a train - 4S80 04:52 Walton Old Jn Yard - Mossend Down Yard (DBS Cl66 + 20 HTA, 378m) Gretna Jnc 07/25 Kirkpatrick S863 07/29 Lockerbie 07/40 TIA.

Missing rules on a handful of freight while running the timetable. Should these be alternatives? as they both runs but both timetables only show the one 6M49 at Mossend. 6M49 Millerhill to Carlisle N.Y. 6M49 Mossend Yard to Carlisle N.Y. Aaron (AJRO) | Timetable Writer Log in to reply |

4S80 wasn't booked to run on 15-10-09 hence it is not in the Motherwell timetable

I'm upto 20:30 in this timetable, I'm unsure of location Mossend Path UC Location DAR?? which is used by a couple of trains at Mossend for going into Down Arrival 1. 6M22 and 6M50 Flask return services no alternative rules for them same with going out services. There are still a number of rules that don't seem to work either. Shunts to MB298 for reversal into Mossend DA1 or 2 trains with N near end applied don't work as should instead sit there with half the train on the junction I'm thinking all these reversals should be made at MB300 reverse to save any issues. Anyway final part 2030 to end of timetable will post if anything is a miss.

What I'm saying is it really should be removed from the Carlisle timetable as it didn't run, not put into the Motherwell timetable

A friend has asked if I might consider hosting a Motherwell/Carlisle chain. At the present time the 2009 WTT is the only option. Before I make local changes to the Motherwell WTT to address some of the issues raised I was wondering if an updated version was in the pipeline? Log in to reply |

Either 6M31 (H73388) is too long at 398 metres for Ravenstruther HS or the HS is too short. Trains comes out of Ravenstruther and stops at Buffer Stops, and foul of points, in effect not reaching the reversing point. Log in to reply |
