ARS decision contradicts trains' ARS status! 23/12/2020 at 23:10 #135190

See attached image.

4E70 has status 'Giving priority to 1A85', yet, when the ARS area is enabled, the route for 4E85 at Wantage Road gets set.

Until 1A85 is close enough to trigger the route at Challow (which it just reached in the screenshot) - from that point on, the sim doesn't try anymore to set 4E70's route.

Somehow the sim doesn't know that the trains are on different lines unless 1A85 has actually been routed into Challow on the main line? Yet, the ARS status suggests that it does.

Save attached from shortly before it happens. If you leave all ARS on and let it run, it will route 4E70 into the loop and out of it, ahead of 1A85.

Whilst the description for 4E70 is in berth 1002, the debug logs indicate that ARS is doing the right thing, calculating that the trains will conflict at Wantage Road, and correctly giving priority to 1A85 based on estimated delays. As soon as the 4E70 steps to 994 this decision appears to change. Unfortunately no debug log is output to enable me to work out why this decision changes.

The reason for the contradiction in status appears to be delay in updating the timetable window.
