Afternoon all,

I have recently submitted a July Summer 2019 TT for the Staffordshire sim (subject to the approval of the mods).

I can't seem to get the description box in the sim to populate so here is what you will need to know;

The workings contained within, both passenger & freight are as per real life, with allocations for passenger traffic taken for Thursday 18th July 2019, before any real life alterations took place (luckily there were not that many that day!).

All freight trains contained within are based on the paths in use for the current timetable period as opposed to spamming the sim with paths that are no longer used or have never been used. There are also some overnight freights via Stoke-on-Trent due to various overnight possessions so keep your eyes peeled!

An overnight engineering possession is in place between Stafford & Crewe on the Up & Down Fast Lines, until approx 04:30 and from approx 23:00. The Norton Bridge East Chord is also under possession at these times as well. The entry of the possession train (6J99) from either Crewe or Salop/Down Sidings is the indication as to when the lines should be opened/closed to all other traffic.

Enjoy!!

When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

Problem may be that if you open the TT editor through the menu or F4, edit the description box then save the TT with the TT window still open the changes to the description box are not saved. If that is what has been happening, make the edits, close the TT then save and the edits to the description box are included in the save.

For the record, any changes to the TT name or version numbering in the drop down boxes on the front tab are also not saved if the TT window is still open when the TT is saved. Discussion about it all in an old thread at https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Forum/ThreadView/34477?page=2 and a Mantis report (#12307) still open.
