1 posts 		In the 2009 (0445) timetable, 1l42 won't go all the way into platform 6, leaving the points at the DN locked in reverse. Anyone got any suggestions?

42 posts 		might be a case of that the length of the train means it isn't fully in the platform

1048 posts 		P6 should be able to hold a 6 car formation or 2 3s.

As andyallen4014 has stated, a .ssg save file would be handy to see what is actually currently occupying platform 6.

You should just have 1L46 at the buffers and 1L42 at the country end. 5 carriages in total with a coach and a bit left to spare.

1. Have you got a TCF?
2. Have you routed another train into p6?

If you have a snapshot at this time that would be grand to be able to look into it further.

1803 posts 		I have just managed to recreate this, albeit under perfect running and without any kind of intervention.

Due to the number of attachments limit on posts, I attach a zipped file with four relevant saves - the first save is just before 1L27 arrives, the second is just before 5L42 arrives, the third is just before 1L27 arrives but after having edited it to FX stop, and then the final save is just before 5L42 arrives but after 1L27 has already been edited to FX stop. This edit to 1L27 (enters at about midday / arrives Salisbury at about 12:17) to FX stop seems to resolve the issue, although whether or not this should be needed is perhaps another question.

TL;DR Change 1L42 to FX stop at Salisbury before it arrives, then 5L42 will fit in the platform with it.

5 posts 		Again, another expert solution - thank you. Just to confirm this situation is still present in the current timetable and presumably still needs adding to the bug-tracker system, if someone would be so kind.

I tried all manner of shunting and reversing instruction, and ultimately forcing the drop of a carriage or two, to no avail, before eventually admitting defeat and deleting 1L48 entirely (and feeling suitably dirty as a result! LOL).

Alas I'd not spotted your solution here, before I encountered it in the sim itself - but it's good to know there is a fix, if it could be applied.

Many thanks.
