Hi there, would anyone be able to provide me with the TIPLOC codes that SimSig uses internally for the Exeter simulation's entry points. I am aware that these are SimSig specific and not used in real life. Thanks in advance!

It's reasonably easy to identify these yourself:
- Create a new timetable, and add a schedule that enters at the specified location.
- Save the timetable to a file
- Open the file with an archiver like WinRAR. It should be recognised as a ZIP.
- Open SavedTimetable.xml
- (If necessary) search for the schedule's headcode to find the relevant part of the file
- Look at <EntryPoint>ECYD</EntryPoint>. ECYD should be the TIPLOC. In this case, Carlisle New Yard.

Thanks so much! Does Exeter Riverisde Yard (as just a location rather than entry point) just use the TIPLOC code EXTRRY? Cheers

I believe it's EXETRRY.

Apologies for another question -- Exeter West Yard seems to be referred to as such, it's now Exeter Tmd. Does the sim just use 'EXETTMD' to refer to West Yard or something unique? Thanks once again

These are all the location IDs Used. It'd take a bit of time to add names to each ID.
When the sim was first built the author just invented IDs whereas these days we tend to only do that where an official TIPLOC does not exist.
Note also that the original author misnumbered nearly all the PL signals and the location IDs reflect that wrong numbering.
Quite a few locations in the Sim also now recognise the real TIPLOC using AKA coding.

New Yard isn't an entry point in the sim; any train which starts its day there will need to be seeded.

Correction, it looks like I relabeled the IDs to reflect the correct signal numbers then AKA='d the old IDs to be backwards compatible with timetables.
Does not apply to entry points.
