Hi - I am operating the Exeter Sim with the 15-10-2009 tt and have come across a couple of issue that I don't think have been reported previously. I have taken a look at the forum posts for these bugs so apologies of I am repeating anything that has been raised previously, but see attached the saved game - hope that helps. Firstly, earlier in the sim, I had a points failure from platform 3 towards Newton Abbot - the points that failed were the ones immediately at the south (left hand on the screen) end of Platform 3. I was able to work round this as it did not prevent routes being set to or from plats 1 & 4 (in any direction), but I noticed that during this failure, every time I set a route from Signal E56 on the Down Main to Platform 4, the signal would not clear and I had to talk the train past the red aspect. Secondly, I had a train enter from Honiton (1L41) and I accepted this on the token block as usual. However, after that train had passed Pinhoe, and before I had chance to click the 'arrived' roundel on the token machine, train 1L97 had followed behind from Honiton without any action from myself and entered into the single line section. This obviously would not be allowed in real life until the line had been confirmed clear by pressing the 'train arrived' roundel so I think there is a potential bug here as well. Thanks.

That said, I'd expect E60 to E62 to not show proceed in the same scenario. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

The save does not have the points failure so I can't see exactly which point you are referring to. However, if Geoff is correct and 891 (not 691) has failed Normal then that should prevent a Main route from being set to and from E60. I've tested by locking 891 N and that's the behavior I find. E56 to E60 does have a Warner route you can use to get trains into P4. The save does not give me tester-level access so I can't look at the Honiton issue at the moment.

A failure shouldn't prevent the routes being called; they just won't get a proceed aspect. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Mantis 37474 for the Honiton issue. Peter: The issue can be easily reproduced in a fresh simulation by entering successive trains through the debug facilities. Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.
