I am running the above timetable and I'm having a problem with train 2B18 which is supposed to depart at 1208 platform 3 the ARS status says waiting for trts at signal 354 but the train status says ready to depart but train 5S00 in front I've tried everything from passing signal at danger to shunting the train but nothing works it just won't move I have attached the saved file and hope somebody could please have a look and help me.

As the status says, train 5S00 is in front, and must move first before 2B18 can move. You should check 5S00's timetable/status and see what it's trying to do. Maybe you routed it into the platform when 2B18 was supposed to leave before it? I don't have this sim so I can't help you much more, sorry.

I havent looked at the ssg as I'm not at home, but from what you've said its trapped behind 5S00 in front of it, and therefore won't TRTS. You'll need to move 5S00 out of its way first.

5S00 is described as 1141 Man P - Man P but departure time is 1241

2B19 which it detaches off enters sim at 1145 arr Picc at 1156, the timings are the issue in the first place 5S00 needs to depart 1201ish

2B23 needs its note deleting as well

If you go back to a save before 2B19 enters you can then alter 5S00s timings, easiest way being to highlight the first Man Picc entry and adjust times by -40 and all should work

Note for TT author - You have one error in this TT that needs fixing 5M58 needs to be run through the analyser and route codes need to be corrected

On the day; for whatever reason (I know it happened, just not why) the units were split on arrival with a shunt to the eastern spur. Unfortunately the unit which was removed subsequently blocked in the Buxton departure which left around 40 minutes late - it's perhaps not prototypical, but I left it in as it happened. 5S00 tends to be the 'shunt' headcode at Picc with no timings attached; but I opted to leave some in to make it a little more obvious what was happening. I accept it isn't particularly clear but the notes for the arrival and 5S00 should explain things.

My fault on some notes being ported or applied to the wrong train; the hazard of duplicating trains and not checking.

Meld - are you using v1.1? I've just downloaded it to check and the analyser shows no errors with 5M58 validating no problem. V1.0 did have a number of issues with invalid paths where ARS was used but these have since been rectified.

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Splodge - was just running the version in the savegame - which is v1.1 and the errors definitely still there.
