Incorrect displaying of 'Platform Alteration' 08/01/2023 at 17:54 #150084

Whilst running 9pN1SEAp's fairly new Nov 22 Derby ttb, I noticed that when some trains are signalled into platforms, 'Platform Alteration' is displayed in the train status section when in fact no platform alteration has occurred. For example, 5C00 which enters from Etches Pk and forms 1C00 in Plat 6A at Derby displays 'Platform Alteration' when it is sitting in the correct platform.

As the 'Current location' for 1C00 in the train list is Platform 6 but the timetable has 6A as the departure platform, my suspicion is that Simsig recognises Platform 6A and Platform 6 as different platforms so it says that an alteration has taken place, however, in reality the train is actually stood at the correct platform. I wasn't sure if this means trains may be delayed leaving the station due to the 'platform alteration' which in fact had not occurred.

Not sure if this is a small bug or just a little niche with the Derby sim, but I thought I'd mention it either way! Screenshot and savegame 5 miuntes before 5c00 enters the platform are attached.

(You'll have to excuse the rather nasty TSF in the station throat :S)

There's been an issue already raised recently relating to platforms at Derby- Karl/other devs, will Mantis 37584 also resolve this or is it a separate issue?

Mantis 37584 won't no; it's to do with a train booked for say 6B actually stopping in 6B rather than the far end of the platform.

Mantis 37602 does sort it though (Which we're testing at this very moment so the thread was well timed!)
