Staffordshire FAQ

LS3571BR at Shugborough Tunnel (for Milford Jn Dn) is drawn on the Up line instead of the down. Is this intentional?

Thanks

I've double checked against the data, Yes there does appear to be some read through protection on Signal SC5611, which has been added for the next update. As I was looking at this, I have spotted another signal which appears to have the same protection

I don't know if I've been away from SimSig too long or not played on it for a good while, but while enjoying a good session with the Staffordshire Sim I noticed the signals at Searchlight Lane Jn regarding the signals SC5611. If a route is set to DS shouldn't the signal opp be reverted to a red? As it works when the route is set to Stone the other signal is Red.
I apologise if I'm incorrect just haven't been on SimSig playing for a couple of months.

It’s hard to answer 1 without seeing what track circuit is failed and what routes are set in the area.

A screenshot would show what I referred to yes.

Failure time length is irrelevant, the interlocking won’t change as a result of it, and therefore the query won’t have a different reply. Remember in reality there is no such option, if just depends on the actual cause of the fault and the Technicians ability.

In response to 2, you can abandon the trains timetable and then he will happily go anywhere you send him without complaint.

Is abandoning the trains timetable seen as the correct approach in situations where trains can be re-routed to avoid possible disruption even if it means missing out stations? I imagine it is not a decision that is taken lightly considering there will be people on the train who's destination will not be served

I should also add apologies for the lateness of my response. Thanks to everyone who responded and I fully understand that a screenshot would have helped - unfortunately by the time I realised this, the TSF had cleared but I will bear it in mind for future queries on here :)

Resolved - One of those daft issues. You'll notice that there are two options to call "Cockshute Shunter, Up", One of which should have been English China Clay.

Unless I'm going potty I can't see China Clay in the outgoing calls options!

Would anyone be able to help me regarding a pathing from Bradwell Esso Siding to Longport? It keep saying No Paths found. And then makes 6K39 timetable invalid. This is an upcoming timetable in the works so I have no save.

Comparing that train in your timetable to a similar train I had enter from Bradwell Esso Sidings in the excellent "Staffordshire 230420 COVID" timetable, it looks to me like you can't have that extra timing point you've included. Have you tried removing that first timing point?
