A couple of bugs/oddities I've encountered in the 2019 era: - MP703 on the Down Liverpool is behaving as though it's approach controlled - Auto routes on the Chat Moss Line (MP543/544) aren't working - Trains booked to enter on the Down Ordsall Curve don't enter - the slot won't grant either by clicking the roundel or setting a route - Sending a train from MP506 to MP524 (Salford Crescent P1 to the Down Bolton) leaves the trains description at MP506 - MP455 and MP461 should both have banner repeaters - Various banners and new speeds missing from the Bolton line, but I presume this is as the update only has limited data and is more about playability. And a couple of driver observations, which are based on what I see from the not-so-pointy end and may be disproved by the hard data: - I don't think MP33 can show double yellow for routes to the Styal line; I've only ever seen it step from single yellow to green. - When routes are cancelled in the Longsight/Slade Lane area, I don't the previous signal's aspect will revert back to red as well (eg if a route from MP64 is cancelled, MP42 won't drop to red to avoid ACOA). - The train stop boards on Piccadilly 13/14 have been adjusted so that trains of four cars or less clear the [very short] mid-platform overlaps and allow another train to occupy the B end of the platform. The second train will not release doors there unless instructed to, and will move to the A end when the signals allow. Possibly not that easy to adjust in the sim without trains using the B end to set down and pick up. There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

Yep - confused myself! 455 is a notorious SPAD trap thanks to the visibility of 461's BR There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

The banner for MN614 on the Up Chat Moss shows as the old style static 'B'; the one for the adjacent line (MN652) displays correctly

A train is awaiting a replacement driver at Salford Crescent. The following service is due into Victoria from the Bolton line - I've opted to send it non stop but haven't (yet) edited the TT. The train, despite having a clear aspect onto the Up Bolton Through, initially phoned to complain of a red signal, and did not query the route (so I couldn't tell it to bypass or abandon TT). The F2 window shows just "stops at Salford Crescent" with no further information about where it is stopped signal-wise or what it's issue is. After waiting the requested two minutes, it did call to query the route as expected. The following train behaved as I'd expect. There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

The offending signal was MP510 - not sure how I missed that vital bit of info! And speaking of MP510 - it isn't as restrictively approach controlled into Salford Crescent any more, it can now give an immediate single yellow for the route into platform 2 - but again, there are a number of signalling changes in that area which may not have been covered by the data for 2019. There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

I've also just discovered (innocent whistling) that trains for the Darwen line will call wrong route if sent into platform 4 at Bolton - but not if sent into platform 5

I have a train booked to reverse in Deansgate P1 (Manchester Oxford Road P3 > Deansgate P1 (Rev) > Manchester Oxford Road P5). Unfortunately it isn't aware of its reversal so asks to continue towards Water St Jn
