I was playing LTS on hard mode. Right before morning rush hour I got a track section failure out from Down Carriage Sidings to platform 2 at Shoeburyness. Platform 2 and 3 were blocked, but I could still use platform 1 for arriving trains. Trains were piling up at shunt signal 1053 out from the carriage siding. My question is. Is it somehow possible to reverse the train standing at shunt signal 1053, make it drive through the yard, and exit the siding at main signal 588 in the up direction? When playing I assumed the trains would just disappear if I reversed the direction, so I didn't do it. - Stig Log in to reply |

Yes, the trains will fall off the simulation. If you want to get them to enter the simulation at the London end, you'll need to edit the timetables of any trains yet to enter. For those which have already entered, remove them from the simulation and duplicate the timetable, editing the duplicate to use the London end entry point.

If a failure causes a showstopper, which effectively stops the job, I would just "fix" it with F11. It's not what happens IRL, but there isn't much point playing a simulation that just locks up. Kev Log in to reply |

Is this a situation where some kind of 'use other entry point' option needs to be available in F2? Perhaps even with provision for devs to specify which alternatives are permissible?

I believe this situation exists on Carlisle and Edinburgh. AJP in games Log in to reply |
