It's more of an observation than an issue, but in this TT, all but one arrival into Newton Heath so far have been accepted via the NH2/Loco Sidings entrance. Although this does get used; it is mostly in times of disruption or on the odd occasion where something is to run directly into the shed/sidings such as a demic unit. The majority of moves onto the depot run via the NH1/Engine Shed siding as this is where the fuelling, washing and tanking facilities are (and is now also access to the new shed for 195 units), with drivers leaving the unit at a stop board or behind another arrival where the shunters take it over (which often leads to arrivals being held outside the depot for some time!). Most internal depot moves are then via the down end headshunt and onto the departure roads (which exit via NH2) or east end of the sheds, or into the neck at NH2 to reverse and enter the sheds via the west end, or the sidings. To facilitate these moves, MN902 is left with a route into the neck for most of the day which the Northern depot staff are permitted to take with the subsidiary aspect shown. To this extent, most moves will then exit via NH2.

This applies to the new 2019 TT, but no doubt to others as well that use NH in this configuration as I imagine it's an inbuilt sim coding rather than TT related.

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

I raised this one during testing, unfortunately it's not possible for the Developer to bias the slot to pick NH1 the majority of the time.
