A save game would help decipher what’s going on much better than a photograph of your screen; although I will say that in the grand scheme of the 10s of thousands of points available, the loss of 2 minutes isn’t actually going to impact your score as a percentage over the whole play through.

I wouldn’t overly worry about it!

cheers james

it was more the fact it arrives into pfm 1 on time, it was only after it had finished dividing that the time loss occurred.

This may be because 5N99 has an arrival time but not a departure time at Newcastle. I've noticed that many timetables provide a departure time for an arriving service even when it will depart under a different headcode. Without it, SimSig records the arrival time correctly, but then does a departure time check against the arrival time once station duties are complete, ie. the two divide-rear instructions followed by the new headcode. Changing headcode takes no time at all in SimSig, but divides can take several minutes.
