IK11 missing from Simplifier

Ah, I see. I've opened the wrong one have I.
But why have four simplifiers for two locations.... all rather confusing to me, as you have just seen

That is because in terms of Simsig, an entry point is a different location to the location that the trains drop off at.

So even though Derby North Staffs Jn and North Staffs Jn (Derby) are the same place, one is the exit and one is the entrance.

get rid of the simplifier for it as a passing location. You only need the entry simplifier open as a train already in sim shouldnt suprise you in the same way. That way you should only need 1 simplifier per location.

Crewe North Staffs Junction is an entirely different junction.

If you don't want lots of simplifiers open to track entering and leaving trains but feel the need to have a fully comprehensive list you could always just have a single simplifier open for the first passing location (in this case Tutbury and Hatton). That lists all the trains passing in each direction rather than having 2 simplifiers open, There will be a few minutes difference between the entry time and the passing time at Tutbury but it shouldn't be hard to keep track of that and prepare for the entry of the next train at due time.

As another alternative you could open the two simplifiers for the entering and leaving trains in your browser then copy and paste from both into a single spreadsheet. A bit of sorting and you have the full monty for Derby North Staffs Jn on a single sheet.

For that he'd probably be better using the timetable analysis text file.
Timetable editor | Tools1 | Analyse Now generates a file TT_analysis.txt in the relevant timetables folder with all locations listed and easily separated for entry and exit.

I found that this method was better for the trains entering from Macclesfield and passing through Platform 1. It's four pages of text in Word so I'll just have it open but but minimised ready for viewing.

Incidentally. It was just gobbledegook in Notepad (the screenshot shows part of it) so I copied and pasted that into Word.

Thanks for the tips
.....

That notepad glitch might be because you've still got the SimSigV2 font selected from the layout mock-up attempts?
