Question from a noob.

Under the Documentation section of this website you can find the signal number plan for every sim, it shows the numbers of all the signals, and you can print it.

Also, while playing the sim, you can bring up the train list that shows you all the trains currently in the sim and which panel they are on.

Thank you. I looked at the documentation page for a specific route and can see a thumbnail of the map but when I try to download the PDF from the link next to it then I just get a simple map route instead of a detailed diagram.

Also, do you know of any easy routes to learn that have a car/pedestrian crossing in them which are free?

You might be looking at the wrong thing- there will be a Signal Number Plan towards the end of each manual. Also, you can find them all listed on this page.

North East Wales has a couple of controlled level crossings on it, that would probably be your best bet.

Thanks, those are exactly what I was looking for. Also, on the North east Wales route is there anything you actually have to do with the signals since they are controlled? I know there are some manual crossings UK and if your in a larger or slow truck you have to phone the signaller before crossing.

Yes, by controlled I was meaning the signaller has to lower the barriers themselves, check outside the window/CCTV then clear signals etc.

Crossings where large and slow vehicles have to phone before crossing are generally Automatic Half Barriers, which as the name suggests operate automatically, and railway signals can show Green with the barriers raised. There are also user-worked crossings where any vehicle should phone before crossing.

Ahh, that makes sense, I assumed you meant they were automatically controlled so that the barriers would go down on their own. I guess I was hoping for something like a crossing where you don't control the barriers, but you might get calls from larger, slow vehicles, and you have to tell them whether they can cross or not.
