Greetings all, Working on my Exeter TT I have another query. Answer probably right under my nose (as the saying goes) but still. I have a freight train - 3Z03 (1015 Exeter Riverside NY - Exeter St. Davids Fuel Point) which arrives at the FP at 1026, then returns under the same code about 90 minutes later. It seems to me that there is no option to prevent the return Exeter SD Fuel Point - Exeter Riverside NY from running without the 1015 operating first. Any ideas?

Use the rule "Must appear X minutes after Y leaves the area". If the first train doesn't enter, it never exits, so the second train will never run.

You can use a decision for this and a rule The rule Y must enter 90 mins after X leaves the area The same desision applied to both trains you set up a desision lets call it 3Z03 and have 2 choices one called "Run" and the other "Not Run" (or other option) You go to the timetable of both trains put in the desision name and the choice "Run" this will mean both portions will run if "Run" is selected and both will not run if "Not Run" is selected.

I ask as this 'freight train' sounds like a daytime UTU fuel and water move, where the train goes from Riverside to the depot to fuel the loco along with the generators located on the test coach, DBSO and/or generator coach, and also replenish the domestic and test water tanks on the train. These moves do take approximately 90 mins - 2hrs. Phil. Last edited: 31/12/2019 at 17:29 by Phil-jmw Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Phil-jmw in post 122680 said:If the move in question is the UTU fuelling/watering move I outlined in my earlier reply Clive [.....] Indeed it is. Train 3J13. I have the freights done for the Tuesday (17th December) timetable but have had to use the freight workings of 07th January 2020 as the data for 17th December was unavailable. Now to work out how to go about the Fairwater Yard trains (6C72 and 6C84, the latter not running if the former runs; 6C72 running as needed) which, it seems, do not have reversing moves out of Fairwater Yard.

Thanks for the link. I checked it and what is listed there I have, as it turns out, already written in along with a couple of additional ones picked from the Network Rail-issued WTT. The Tuesday 17-Dec-2019 TT now has 452 trains in total with quite a bit of activity with things going from / to Exeter Riverside Yard. Going to do Monday 16-Dec-2019 freight and then I will work on the settings for each of the trains in the TTs but it may be a while before I get these TTs released. Not being able to go and see what is working what makes things trickier so you can't, for example, tell by looking on the WTT which London units are 9-cars. Is that a list of what ran on the day or do I assume that it didn't run if there are no entries under the "Live Data"?

Yes all live running data from the day is retained - no data = no service
