Warrington Summer 1992 TT

An entertaining (!) timetable, thanks very much for the hardwork that went into it!

I've run into something of a problem. I think this save should be before the problem started.

I had 6E64 run into the Latchford sidings OK. It says it wants to join 0T15 which should emerge. Except, it never does. I can't seem to get 0T15 to emerge.

Then train 6T77 enters. I get a note in the display that it wants to gain a couple of wagons using 9T15. But this also never enters. I also can't persuade that to enter.

I'm attaching a save before and after (in the after, in a rather misguided attempt to get them to enter, I deleted some rules. This was unwise. But I only did this after they were sitting for about 30 minutes not doing what they were supposed to do.

It's Friday, in the sim.

I have taken a look and from the infomation you have provided it looks like you are using an older version of Warrington Version 1.3, the current version of Warrington is Version 1.5. it looks like this maybe the cause of 0T15 not entering, I would recommend updating to the latest version.

The reason for the train not entering looks like some locations were missing in the older version and they have been added to the latest version, using this timetable on Warrington 1.3 will result in timetable errors which results in the train not entering.

When you update to the latest version of Warrington you will unfortunately will need to restart the timetable.

The problem in my message was with recalling train headcodes (mashing two headcodes together), rather than a more serious with me wanting the wrong trains to join.

It would appear that, despite running the updater after a similar out of date issue occured with a Crewe sim a few weeks ago, I am still out of date. I think I missed the new version by a day or so.

I don't have the stomach to go back and start again now. But thanks, Pascal, nonetheless for a very interesting timetable.

I'm at a loss to understand how folks still manage to run out of date sims nowadays as the loader performs an automatic update check every time it is started.

Nice timetable by the way Pascal. Up to about 18.00 with no problems so far.

I don't really want to put users off, but a couple of TTs I'm currently working on [Crewe summer 1988 & Doncaster station summer 1991] are more complex than this Warrington one.

Would someone kindly tell me how long the Reception Roads are at Newton-Le-Willows.
Thanks in advance.

Only a minor point and easily remedied, but I thought that I'd mention it anyway.

It's just after 15:37 and 2J35 has just left platform 4 at Warrington Bank Quay Station but its TD didn't step up.

Did you set the route from 193 to signal 181 or did you set it the white exit arrow?

Well, there was no replication with 2J35 possibly because it entered the sim 10 minutes later that previously.

Having said that, I'm certain that I didn't use the white arrows which, after checking the Wiki, I found are for shunt moves. Can't remember everything can you? This wasn't a shunt move and anyhow, I always set the onward route from P4 before the train gets to the station. I have never used the white arrows.

Based on testing I have done I think you may have set the route from Signal 193 to the white Shunt exit arrow next to signal 181.

Well, if that's beyond doubt then I must have done it inadvertently 😐 I wouldn't have done it deliberately.
