A most interesting timetable. However, the 1Y-- headcoded trains from Marylebone to Oxford don't appear to be stopping at Islip or Oxford Parkway stations (maybe not stopping at Bicester Village, I haven't checked). Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why this should be so! I have tried both ARS and non-ARS routing but the effect is the same. I'm also adding Oxford to the timetable to get trains to disappear from simulation as Oxford North Jn. timing point does not remove trains from the simulation. Please see example of this operation below. Terry. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Terry Log in to reply |

It looks like the train 'thinks' it has not yet got to Haddenham & Thame. Once this happens, it does not stop. So something goes wrong around there. Might be era related ? I got a scenario warning for era 2016 but not 2015. What does your options box show ? That would help someone more familiar with the MYB sim - maybe repost this query there Just to be sure, this is the Sunday timetable in 'downloads' titled 2017 with a filename 'Jan 2016' and 'Jan 2015' in the descriptive text ? I think the actual days for this diversion were 27 and 28 December 2015. regards Bill Log in to reply |

Bill, thanks for your help. To ensure I'm singing from the same hymn-sheet, I have attached three images to show the timetable I'm using and the year selected (2015) which I believe is the correct year for this timetable. You suggest I should re-post this query but under which title should I do this? Thanks, Terry. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Terry Log in to reply |

The timetable isn't a supported official one, and has a couple of fundamental issues that can be seen on startup. The website shows it as 2017 on the download page, the Timetable name when you open it says 2016 and the timetable description says 2015! There are also no seeds on it when I would expect Aylesbury Sidings to have trains in on a Sunday morning. I have just 1Y19 through and it works fine at Haddenham so I am not sure what you have done to get it to the situation it is in. That being said, none of the 1Y trains will leave the sim as they need Oxford adding to the end of their schedules. Bill, I think this TT is largely fictional, there was never an hourly Chiltern service to Kidderminster. Log in to reply |

I have stripped out a train pair 1Y01 / 1Y03, and they run OK for me (excepting the Oxford exit problem Stephen notes). I now think you need to see if you had to do anything odd around Princes Risborough that might be causing the trains to lose the plot. Attached save of the test timed 0826 with 1Y03 stopped at Princes Risborough Does the save run OK for you ? From the save you can save the test timetable and run it through at 22x speed. Does the timetable work OK for you ? Stephen Fulcher in post 127390 said: Agreed, especially on a Sunday.... and Chiltern serving the locals at Sudbury Hill at all. My comment referred solely to the 'Wales via Islip' diversion, but illustrates the 'dates' issue. At least now timetables can force era. I wonder if the timetable was written before 'seed to signal' was widely known, as several trains are described as 'Seed from Depot' to the sidings. Bill Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

Attached are two attempts to add 'oxford' to timetable, one done at Princes Risborough and the other at Oxford Parkway. Both were validated ok with the instruction to make 1Y19 non-ARS. However, as you will see, Haddenham and Thame, Gavray Jn, and Islip have moved from their original position in the timetable to entries below 'Oxford'! I returned 1Y19 to its original timetable at Princes Risborough and train performed properly until it reached Oxford Parkway where I tried to add 'Oxford' to the timetable with the strange result which can be seen in image 2. Surely, something strange is happening here or am I making a huge mistake I'm unaware of. Terry. Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Terry Log in to reply |

You haven’t put a time in, it’ll do all kinds of odd things if you don’t put a time in a schedule that otherwise has times

Thanks to all, problem resolved. Who would have thought that the absence of a specific time could cause so much trouble; thank you James for pointing this out. Terry. Terry Log in to reply |

The verify uses time as the first way to sort the locations into order, and then sees if the ordering works. No entry is sorted as 00:00:00 so is put in as either next (if editing a live timetable using F2) or top (if editing the source timetables using F4). Bill Log in to reply |
