Just discovered a minor bug in Wigan Wallgate - if a train is approaching WW106, but hasn't yet reached the LOS, cancelling WW106 (which hadn't yet cleared due to a TCF) unlocked the overlap - I was able to swing the points in the overlap. Screenshot attached, and Andy has a save.

Additional screenshot showing the state of the TCFs - they cleared right as the save was made I do believe

I've tried to replicate this in a fresh session and haven't been able to.

The save game hasn't helped narrow it down as 6E26 is already at a stand at WW106 and the overlap has timed off.

Is an earlier save game available which shows the problem with the train not yet at a stand at the signal?

Just FYI, same thing happened at WW144 - Main route set from WW146, set a main route into P2 in the expectation that 1J08 would depart. When I didn't get the slot, I cancelled the route towards Wigan NW and cancelled WW144 in order to reset it as a subsidiary route into P2 behind 1J08. The overlap was cancelled here too.

My apologies, I'll see if I can replicate the situation manually tomorrow in a singleplayer game

The only earlier save is the 10:00hrs snapshot, which i've attached although this may be too much earlier.

Sorry Karl, I managed to re-create it again with Andy watching (technical support not watching etc.) Andy I believe has a snapshot from immediately before I did the following:

Steps to re-create:

1. Overset the route from WW146 to WW144 (even though 1J10 is still stood there)
2. Set a route from WW144 to WW104 (P2) for 1J10 (assuming P2 is empty)
3. The overlap for WW144 has two separate track circuits - as soon as 1J10 clears the first of these track circuits, the TORR on WW144 operates, but as the overlap is not yet clear WW146 does not yet clear. As soon as the TORR on W144 operates, immediately overset the route into P2.
4. Allow 1J12 to draw forwards past WW146.
5. As soon as 1J12 clears the overlap of WW146 and the TORR operates, cancel WW144's route into P2 - the overlap should cancel with it.

If Andy could upload that snapshot I'll take a look in the morning. Thanks for both of your help with this.

This should be the requisite save.

Just an update, Mantis 32769 has been raised following my findings being independently verified, for the moment it looks like it'll need a loader update rather than a simulation one.
