Strange behaviour at Fiddlers Ferry 28/06/2020 at 20:51 #128457

Running the 2016 timetable, 6F36 enters Fiddlers Ferry Fly Ash Siding completely normally, where it should leave the simulation.
Instead, about 3 minutes later it appears running wrong road on the non-track-circuited track between Fiddlers Ferry UWC and Penketh Hall UWC and calls in from MS5.

I attach a saved session from 11:25, when the train is about to leave the simulation. It reappears just before 11:28.

Mantis 30919 raised. I'm afraid I can't give you as quick a turn around as I did the other night.

grahamj42 you may notice Edge Hill 3.11 is now available. It doesn't directly address this issue, investigations continue into the route cause.

Karl, I wish I'd looked at the forum first - I've just finished testing and found the fault not fixed.

I've found another bug which was in the old version as well (I haven't upgraded my "work" PC yet) - I'll start a new thread for that.

grahamj42 first of all apologies that it's taken a while to get back to you on this one, it's been a bit of a head scratch.

Due to the complexities of the balloon loop, and the combination of direction changes involved, the train in question (And any other similar trains) needs to stop at Fiddlers Ferry Power Station and not pass the location. I'm not sure who wrote the 2016 timetable, but you can easily make this change yourself to fix the issue.

When an update to the simulation is pushed it'll force validation of the stop, so any trains timed to pass will throw up an error.

Guilty as charged!

I'll do a tidy up on it.
