Hi new to this,
Has anyone had issues in regards to signalling the train into the platform at kings cross via gas works tunnel

I can signal it into kings but the train doesn’t move then I get the call to authorise to pass at danger

Helppp ????

Can you post a save? Which precise movement are you attempting? From which signal to which platform? Note that some routes require the use of the blue "via" buttons.

Apologies not at home at the moment

However it’s the first move from kings cross goods yard to Copenhagen tunnel to platform 3

One of the first trains on timetable.

I’ll have more information when I’m home on the computer 👍🏼

Before we can progress this we will need to see a save game.

In your third picture you do not have a route from the signal left of Gasworks Tunnels into the platform. The shunt signal on the right of the tunnel needs to be cancelled first. Then set the route from the signal left of the tunnel to the platform exit triangle (ignoring the shunt signal - that will show proceed automatically, called a preset or running shunt).

Cancel the route from Signal 16. Then, set the route directly from Signal 294 directly to Platform 3- Signal 16 will clear automatically as a preset shunt. See the signal number plan in the King's Cross user manual for signal numbers.

In general, always try to set routes from a main signal (that is, one that's shown as a circle) to another main signal/exit arrow. Only route to and from shunt signals where there is no main route available. In this case, there's no shunt route available from 294 to 16, the only routes from 294 are into the platforms. See the route setting page for more details.

As you appear to be new to SimSig, I'd recommend that you try a smaller simulation before taking on King's Cross; it's quite a challenging simulation to run solo.

For future reference, a couple of posters have asked you to post a save. This is nearly always more helpful than screenshot(s) as those more experienced can use the save to see the whole situation rather than the bits you may think are relevant which you have then scraped to post as graphics.

To create a save go to the File Menu then Save As. For the Kings Cross sim, the default will be to put the save into the Kings Cross folder under Simulations in the SimSig folder under Public Documents on your computer but you have the option to save it somewhere else like your desktop to make it easier to find and upload to the Forum.

While John is right for most questions like this, in this particular case the picture was quick and easy!
