I started a 14-04-2020 SX timetable for Carlisle. I've been slaving on it since 15-04 till today 26-04 when I last made the final save at 19:04 BST. Timetable had 330 trains in it, I loaded it up right after the save and everything was present. I just come to open it back up to amend two train types and timetables and the timetable comes back as a blank canvas. Any ideas why this has done this? I save the timetable every time and this hasn't happened before. I've checked my most recent back up today from 2000hrs and it was blank then..  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Did you save using the Timetable > Save As, or the Save Button in the Timetable list? As the latter is Saves the selected trains and no others.

Hope you've got some sort of back-up regime in place so you haven't lost everything.

Also have a once a week backup etc. I'll proceed with the May WTT I'm now working on. Aaron (AJRO) | Timetable Writer Log in to reply |
