1123 posts 		Running default 15th Oct 2009 Midnight start TT, I've now come across two freight services which are bound for Burton West Yard however there's no obvious route available as both the trackwork and signalling is missing for trains going to the yard from the Birmingham direction.

Is this one of the long outstanding issues that the Developer for Derby needs to fix along many many others?

Timetables need the addition of "Burton Wetmore Jn" as a reversing point to use the trailing ladder across the mains from behind dummy D172. For 15/10/2009 TT this would affect 4M69(H75674), 6D37(H72927) and 4B21(H71438).
In Zone 6, no one can hear you scream...

Ahh so that's the location that's missing, fixed it now in the session I'm doing.

As to Headshot119, I had a feeling the cause was one of many issues that is undergoing testing, least it's being fixed.
