Hi, A couple of observations on this sim which is one of my favourites. Train Codes: While working Panel 5 (Haywards Heath) in a session last night, Monday 27th April, I noticed that quite a few trains were arriving and dropping off rolling stock. This was all very well but I did find that the codes were interposing at the wrong end of the platform (ie. the headcode for London trains was going at the Brighton end of the platform, and vice-versa: 9T21 & 9T22 in the first and third screenshots). The train would then leave with a leading headcode showing *X** - as per 9T22 in the second screenshot - unless the code is manually interposed where it should be. This means that, even if the ACI on, the headcode for a train being dropped at Haywards Heath by another unit does not display and so you end up with the headcode at both ends. Plumpton LC (2018/19 era): I notice that, in this era, the level crossing at Plumpton lacks controls for the operation of barriers. While it is true that Plumpton had the last surviving gatebox, albeit also with control of signals T645 & T800, in the Three Bridges ASC area this was abolished 08-Feb-2016. The website - http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/signal/signal_boxest.shtm - that Phil Deaves runs says that the box was taken over by "Three Bridges (new)" - opened 25-Jun-1983 - which, on that list, is a separate entry from Three Bridges ROC (opened 29-Dec-2014). Would I be right to assume that not only should Plumpton Crossing have controls for barriers as at Keymer LC but, probably, T645 & T800 should thereby be controllable on the sim rather than working themselves? Cheers, Dave (PS: For info the gap on the station at Haywards Heath is not a bug: I have 2x 22-inch screens for playing)

There appears to be a bug with headcodes in platform 3 of Haywards Heath for all trains, if there is not a clear track section between trains, the train to the rear loses its headcode. I.e if there is a train stationary in platform 3 and the route is set from T348 to T340 the following train gets a calling on aspect but if it occupies track section TKCZ before the train in the platform departs, it loses its headcode.

I've logged Plumpton on mantis as 30230 to be reviewed although as far as I'm aware SimSig doesn't have a finalised method of representing OD crossings as of yet.
