I’ve probably misunderstood what is happening here but I have 2B14 routed into platform 17 at Waverley. The platform is already occupied by 1B42 but as there is permissive working at all platforms, why has the driver of 2B14 phoning to say that he is waiting at a red signal? Shouldn’t the subsidiary aspect of signal E486 clear automatically and allow the train to proceed? I know that they both fit into the platform. If you find this question annoying, please don’t bite my head off, just ignore it. Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

You need to operate the track circuit overide switch (the red button at the buffer stops) in order to release the permissive route. Its a form of confirmation.

Hmm, it cleared for me yesterday without operating the track circuit override.

Thanks for your swift response. I can see the orange roundel and also several others. Don't recall having to use them on the .exe version although they are on there. Perhaps I just talked them past the signal as I did in this case, which is probably not the way to do it. Could you do this in reality or would the TC overide need to be used?

The call on route sets up automatically in real life.

Seems you have to operate the override when ARS is off. when ARS is on, it sets.

I had ARS off and didn't need to operate the override.

The only save I have is just a couple of minutes too late but it does show the override isn't operated.

Dick in post 130118 said:The only save I have is just a couple of minutes too late but it does show the override isn't operated.Yeah something definitely amiss there, as you're correct I can get call-on without override operated in your attached save, despite ARS being set to OFF, but per Hap's post above I understood intended behaviour was overrides required with ARS OFF but not required with ARS ON.

Dick in post 130118 said:The only save I have is just a couple of minutes too late but it does show the override isn't operated.So, The settings in your save is ARS off and TORR on with ACI checked. So when setting the route, the call on clears Bugsy's settings are ARS on, TORR on and selected ARS off at Edinburgh (and some other areas) With the ARS sub route off then the call on doesn't clear. It will clear when ARS is turned back on. It's also impossible to get the Overrides to work. Mantis 25063 applies.

It's because the signals are last wheel replacement and as there are still wheels there (on the train that's been left behind) the route needs to be manually pulled. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Do these comments also apply to the situation with 2B14 (mentioned in my original post above with a save attached) where I had to clear the route from signal E486 into platform 17 as it didn’t release automatically?

I'm not sure about the specifics of Peter's last phrase but the first part is correct.It's because the signals are last wheel replacement and as there are still wheels there (on the train that's been left behind) the route needs to be manually pulled.I can't say I've ever seen last wheel route replacement, last wheel signal replacement is far, far more common in situations as these and doesn't exhibit the behaviour shown - although I profess I don't know the specifics for Edinburgh... Talking generally, there are a lot of real world situations where, even with TORR, the signaller still has to pull a route. The worst type of cases include those with single-TC routes combined with last wheel replacement and dividing trains.

Whether it's right behaviour or not for this situation I don't know. But it doesn't happen if the route was cleared.

What I meant was I've set the LWR=T in the data and my explanation was based on interpreting what appears to be the result. On the other matter, the ARS sub-areas default to on when ARS is not enabled and are read as such. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |
