I'm trying to route a train from Platform 4B to the Down Sidings at Darlington, but I can't get T888 or its subsidiary to clear. This is of course while I have the GF in operation.

Seems to be a few issues with that train timetable, a mix of timetabling and sim. The timetable has 6U81 terminate at Darlington in 4B, no further workings or locations. There is no path from 'Darlington' to Down sidings, the path is only from 'Darlington 4B' However 'Darlington 4B' can only be timetabled in from the south - it is 'Darlington 4B (reverse)'. Even sorting that by either south jn or 'Darlington' 4A, you still get the train not behaving as intended. I would expect that you set 888 to the LOS894 but that the train would stop for the frame and handsignal to be set. However it proceeds to LOS894 and with the TC occupied the frame is locked. Might need a new timetable location for the ground frame ? For now the 'least bad' to me is to reverse at Darlington South and then have PSAS from 4B after setting the frame to the sidings. Something also a bit odd in that there's two 'Darlington Down Sidings' locations in the timetable editor. The second one is the one that validates from 'Darlington 4B'. Test extract timetable attached with: Test trains 8U87/8U88 added 6U81 amended to approach from the south (911 rev) to make it validate Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Log in to reply |

Thanks for the help with the Timetable Bill, I find it strange that you must reverse at 4B instead of being able to run straight into the DN SDGS from the North! My workaround was to shunt the train and talk it past a signal at danger into the Sidings but I do like the TT you created so I'll go with that. Hopefully, someone will comment on the issue and if it's known about or not. Apologies, but I also uploaded the incorrect save file originally. Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

I think it more likely that paths to 4B are needed from the north than that is how 'real life' works. Log in to reply |
