Topsham Crossing - Confused 01/09/2020 at 15:32 #131188

Running Exeter, just sent the first train of the day down the Exmouth branch. The crossing controls will not react if I LMB or RMB click on either the Raise or Close button, only the Auto button can be switched on or off. I had to talk 2F01 past the controlling signal EJ25 and got a "Train passed with barriers up" penalty. I've checked the Wiki and it doesn't offer much assistance.

Can anyone put me out my misery on this one, please?

There is no Close button - that is a light indicating a train is approaching. The light turns on before a train enters Newcourt for southbound trains, i.e. for trains calling at Newcourt, it turns on too early. (Note: If you are running an older era of Exeter, this station will not exist.)

For normal operation of a CCTV crossing, see the wiki. Topsham has one oddity: the crossing will not raise if there is a northbound train already standing in the platform, even if its route is not yet set. If the northbound train is early and has not been routed out yet, you can raise the crossing by unsetting auto-raise (right-click) before pressing raise.

User error - I hadn't scrolled the screen down.

That's two trains over an open crossing.

Naughty corner for me while I wait to pee in the jar!

Have you got a save game at all for this? I've manged to get the crossing working no problem using the LWR.
"Close Crossing" illuminates 1 minute after departure from Digby & Sowton.
With or without that illuminating, I can still get response from the crossing to lower.

If you have a snap shot from around that 0530, We can take a look at it from your end.

Cheers
Craig
