Updating my 2020 TT to be even more 2020, I've noticed since the update that Oxford Road has gained 'X' platform locations (1X, 2X, 3X and 4X) on it's through platforms. What do these do, sim wise, and under what circumstances should I use them?

I've also tried to reverse a train behind MP303 using the Longsight Up and Down Goods Location, but the path won't validate - I presume as the sim still treats Longsight Loop reversals as taking place adjacent to the depot complex rather than behind MP301/303 (which is what tends to happen when reversing back towards Piccadilly) and hence the TT wants the Longsight North location adding to validate successfully.

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

The "X" platforms indicate to ARS that the train needs the full length of the platform in the up direction at Oxford Road, use them for anything that won't fit in the Deansgate end of the platform only.
"Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer
