74 posts 		I have a train 6U01 testing that has just departed from Liskeard Yard GF on the DN at 0057 and has seemingly departed Coombe No.1 GF less than 60 seconds later at 0058.

Now, these location are 1 and 3/4 miles apart and I know for a fact that those times are not correct. seeing as with a passenger train this journey takes 5 1/2 minutes and it should be at least that for a freight train.
I'm suspecting the trigger point for Liskeard Yard GF DN is in the wrong location.

You need to timetable the train to stop at Liskeard Yard Ground Frame as it would need to be operated in reality to let the train from the yard to the branch.

Good point, well made. Forgot about that part.
