Derby 1992 Summer Timetable

I didn't know you could amend and save the name that way, but thanks for the tip. I was referring to when you edit as required, close the F4 window, then go to Timetable/Save As on the clock window, and give your edited TT a new name.

Small correction; The field is the Timetable Name not the Timetable Description on the F4 front tab. The advantage of doing it through the TT name is that you have a consistent name for the file and TT. Again IIRC, if you save the TT with the F4 window still open, it doesn't amend the TT or file name. It also doesn't save any edits you have made to the TT description; they are lost as well so it is important to remember to close F4 before saving if you are doing it that way.

When you manually reverse it you also need to step its timetable to the next location as the train won't do it itself.

Open up the train list with F2. Then it's timetable options > run to another timetable > pick 5F51 and pick the location as Burton on trent.

I think I'm doing something wrong with 5V64 and 5D91 in the carriage sidings. They are both in there along with DYSP but everything just says waiting to join.

I've attached my save game.

Thanks

Okay, I 'think' I know my error. 5D91 needs to go to the bottom CS via the ground frame, whereas 5V64 needs to go to the top (through) CS.

I haven't got the sim open right now but if memory serves, when you open 5D91 timetable window the notes button should be in bold type. If you click on it I think it tells you there where to send the train. Don't worry if you missed seeing this button, some TT's use it a lot, and I often miss seeing it. It's as if I have a mental block that prevents me remembering to look out for it.

Phil.

Just use a different platform for 0K02. The tt editor forces a platform to be selected otherwise id've left it blank.

For 5D91/0F07 I'd amend 0F07 to reverse at Derby SNJ to resolve it. I'll take a look at it properly when I can. Likely caused as 5D91 was a late change to the tt based on new info received.

Just got to the end, great timetable.

One small thing I noticed when i got to the end though, neither of the trains from Denby 7A24 or 7A30 made an appearance.

I'm only up to 09:05 but find this a really great timetable. Lots to do in the small hours and I just love the Nadins Siding Ground Frame :)

A word to the wise with Nadins GF, when a train calls up ready to depart give the release immediately if possible otherwise the train ignores the GPL in the siding and proceeds up the neck.
