Hi all
As a shunter at Basingstoke i wanted mention a couple of things I have noticed in the sim that are slightly different from real world and wondered if they can be considered for a future update. Firstly the smallest is the up reception siding IRW is called Up Sidings West. For trains to enter USW the signaller needs to obtain shunters acceptance before they can signal a train in. For trains departing USW the driver will contact the signaller directly when ready and will be given a proceed aspect to depart without the shunter needing to be contacted.

The other thing I have noticed is the shunt signals within Barton Mill Sidings, BE159 and 5107. When a train shunts from the mill to upper siding east to berth or the opposite way from where a train has berthed there overnight the sim is currently correct with setting one signal to off depending on which direction the train is travelling. in the real world however it is also possible to have both shunt signals to off at the same time (which is more commonly used) by requesting this from the signaller, so we can shunt trains about for as long as we need and will remain off until the shunter advises the signaller that shunt moves have been completed, rather than the track circuit resetting them after each move.
