Loading 1922 Timetable

This is an older format timetable. You can load it by starting the simulation without a timetable, then going to menu > timetable > open (merge)

That won't work correctly unless the WTR file is in the same place as the WTT file.

Yes it will. WTR files are not required, the timetable will simply not include any rules. I've done it plenty of times myself.

It will not work as the TT writer wishes it to work if the writer has included rules to make it work properly. To my mind that comes under the category "not working correctly".

Perhaps the reading of the wording marks the difference between people with an operational mindset and a theoretical mindset in that the TT will load so fulfils that reading of the statement but will load but not operate correctly which was my point.

Some timetables don't have any rules intended to be attached..

So, it will partially work, and the amount of partiality depends on how much the original timetable depended on rules...

I'm confused why, knowing this is the case, you'd still choose to load the timetable without any rules if you know they're part of the timetable?

Because no one mentioned anything about whether or not the TT included any rules.

Meanwhile, in the real world . . . .

. . . . there are still plenty of timetables which don't include rules? Not everything needs a re-entry rule. Especially smaller simulations like I don't know, Aston? Terminus turnaround times can be done using dwell times.
I'm just not going off the same assumption as you.

Did you actually check to see if there were any rules in the WTR file ???

I've just merged both into sim and there are 119 rules for this timetable, so without the WTR it wont work as its supposed to.

Always load have the WTR file in the same folder as the WTT for converting the timetable.

Its about time you stopped misleading the members here with some of your forthright opinions

Again, different assumptions. I wasn't talking about this timetable in specific but old format timetables in general.
Neither statement is 100% true. Not all timetables require a WTR file. And not all timetables work without a WTR file.

Can we please stop this eternal self-justification which is of no relevance in the real SimSig world and of no help to the original poster.
