Trains entering from Wigton. 31/05/2022 at 20:17 #146690

I'm currently running the Carlisle SIM with the 2 day 14th and 15th June TT for 2019, and I have noticed a possible bug on trains entering from Wigton.

I had a telephone call from one of the level crossings near Dalston, so I called the Wigton Box to hold trains as usual. While the crossing was being used, train 2C51 appeared from Wigton and stopped at signal WN4 as one would expect. However, after I had rung Wigton to let trains through again, train 2C51 was still held at the signal and did not move until it called me and I authorised it to pass the signal at danger.

I searched the forum but could not find any previous report on this so maybe one for the bug list....?

On another note, it would appear that signal WN4 is controlled by the Wigton box so presumably the call should have gone there instead....? Probably a good thing it came to Carlisle as otherwise the train would have been stuck off SIM so to speak.

Save file for slightly after the incident attached.

Thanks.

I'm away from the computer at the moment so haven't had a chance to try and reproduce or look any further at the moment.

Loading your save and doing some debugging, I can only conclude that the phone call to Wigton Signaller either wasn't made, or something odd went on between the call connecting, and sending the message to them.

When I load it up and make the call again and send the message to release trains, WN4 clears almost immediately (About right the lever is right beside the concentrator), and 2C51 appears on the 418 track a short while later.

Running a few scratch sessions I also couldn't reproduce. If you can narrow down exactly what went on I can take another look.

I had this a similar issue with this a few months back. I rang Wigton Signaller to hold it's signal at Danger as I had someone calling to use one of the crossing. Oddly a train entered from Wigton now having my focus on the main station as I made a mess there I only noticed when the telephone rang with 'Oi I thought it was safe'!!. So I rang Wigton Signaller and requested to remove hold of it's signal and trains started to enter. Sadly I couldn't reproduce it again at later time so didn't make a post but it seems a little odd but it works at Wigton as it should.
