Hello! Playing through the Wolverhampton 2015-04-08 SX timetable, v. 5.1.0, I found a platform conflict between 1O30 ( P30670 ) and 9M59 ( P51251 ). Both trains are booked into platform 2 at Wolverhampton, 9M59 arr 19:31½ dep. 19:45, 1O30 arr. 19:39 dep. 19:41. I resolved this while running the timetable by sending 1O30 onto platform 3, the platform opposite the one it was booked. Rocangus Log in to reply |

Platform conflicts are common as stated many places elsewhere. The software used by the TT planners IRL does not always fine them and with various trains run "as required", a platform conflict is not uncommon. In real life the signaller has to deal with them. You should ideally keep passenger trains in their assigned platform to mimic real life where a late platform change would be not just a hassle for passengers but also a potential delay while waiting for everyone to be sent to another platform. Freight or ECS is much more preferable to change platforms for. Log in to reply |

If there was a short-notice platform change it would be a major problem to shift all those barrows particularly if anything like barrow lifts had to be used to get them to the subway or bridge then back to platform level. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |
