Help with some timetable issues

Hi,

Hoping someone can help with a few bits. I am writing a fictional timetable for Exeter after many years away from Simsig. The issues im trying to solved are...

1) Offer of trains from the Dart Valley. I have a few trains that enter here. I get a call from the DVR to advise they have a train waiting, to which I reply OK, send the train. Once the train has entered, I then get a phone call every 10 minutes advising they have the same train waiting to enter (It never does enter). I have tried all the reply options given, and I have also tried calling them to cancel all permission.

2) I have a traction warning on all services that have run round at Exeter. The warnings state; 1C11: Traction inconsistency (had-, wants D).

3) I also have a traction inconsistency for a portion working at Newton Abbot. (Dropped coaches want D).

4) I have several length inconsistencies at St Davids & New Yard. These are on split / joined SWR DMU services, based on the current WTT. The lengths of the arrivals and subsequent split trains are set up with the correct train type but they do not then add up / equal the correct length once coupled / split.

Any help happily received. None of the issues are stopping anything from working, so I can happily play, just would like to fix the DVR issue, as its annoying.

Thanks

Keith

The Traction inconsistency is down to how you done the stock and removal of the engine

You have set the stock for 1C11 as 8x Mk2's with diesel traction, the incoming working 1E02 you have a detach front, the detach engine front (or rear) removes traction from the portion that is left, if you alter the traction 8x Mk2's to none you will fix the Traction inconsistency issue, and don't worry about it having no traction, because as soon as you join the loco it will have traction again.

Have tried playing with this and still can not shift the traction warning on the analyzer. Not a game stopper, so not the end of the world.

From the sounds of it, the easiest solution to the run-round would be:
1E02 DF: 0C11, J: 0C11, N: 1C11.
Change 0C11's TT to join 1E02.
There's no real need to have the Next activity half way through the run round.

Apart from depreciation of 'DF' for ACI purposes.
Safer to stick to just DR and Next, or expect ACI to fall over.

Just need some help with the DVR issues if anyone can help.

We'll have to agree to differ there- my view is that ACI is there as an aid only, and should not be relied upon for anything more complex than a Next activity.
It's less relevant in this case, as Exeter doesn't have ACI.
