I note that there are 5 entry/exit points to Eastfield TMD.
Is each limited to just one train?

Just started to play this sim (bought as a Christmas present) and it takes some working out if you haven't experienced AB and mechanical interlocking before. Had a problem routing a train near Stirling and was tempted to ask for some help but with trial and error, managed to sort things out.

Great sim, but then aren't they all??

No, there's just five outlet roads, trains can move between them within the depot via the Eastern end.

In reality, Lines 1 and 2 appear to be general purpose sidings. Lines 3 and 4 are toilet emptying, fuel and carriage washer. Line 5 leads to a fan of 7 stabling/servicing lines, and there's a further 7 dead-end sidings accessed via an eastern headshunt, which all lines except Lines 1 & 2 feed in to.

For SimSig purposes, just route to whichever line is specified in the timetable.

(I'm naming the lines per the simulation, they have different designations within the yard in reality).

Thanks for the info guys.
So far, I've put 5 trains into 5 different roads as I wasn't sure. None had a particular destination in their timetable but I presume that some will at some point.

The working timetable only has trains ending at Eastfield HS with no line references.

Once again which TT, please? All trains booked to leave the sim at Eastfield TMD in the 2006 TT bundled with the sim should have the designated road shown under the Platform column in the train's TT. If there are any which do not have that data, please advise so that things can be corrected.

Bugsy said further up the thread its the 2009 groundhog timetable.

Peter means the real WTT doesn't state anything.

Sorry, yes I mean the real WTT. Sim just provides for them because it does.

I did answer this question in Post #135535 above, but you must have missed it. It's the 15-10-09 timetable

I should add that it's not scored, so where you send the train does not actually matter sim-wise.

Apologies - I did miss it.
