Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I am playing the above timetable on the Brighton sim, and 5P07 has to go to platform 2 from the West Carriage Road, only it doesn't seem to fit and won't clear the junction: Is this a timetable error or is this something else to do with the oft-reported issues with this Platform?

Is this the 5P07 that enters at 0445? I just tried it myself and had no issues. If you start a new game and try again, does it happen every time? Log in to reply |

Putting "far end stop" in the schedule might fix this.

Four runs of the sim over the last few days - 2 worked and 2 it got stuck.

Also will try loading a snapshot and seeing if it happens every time after that. Last edited: 14/10/2024 at 22:50 by Elmarko Reason: None given Log in to reply |

As Geoff said putting Far End Exact to the stopping position should work fine, I'm pretty sure I used it for those and similar moves in my 2012 tt

I think I may be understanding what causes this, perhaps: If I bring a train out of the sidings and onto the West Carriage Road so that it can hold there, when I subsequently bring it into 2 it seems to get stuck:   If I leave the train in the sidings and don't queue them up this then seems to work ok.

Simple solution is as you say, don't allow two trains on the West Carriage Road at the same time. As Brighton is now out of support I don't think the issue will be fixed (if indeed it's possible to fix it) "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now."
