I've been creating a December 2024 timetable over the last month or so and I'm just putting the finishing touches to it now.

This will feature newly timetabled Northumberland Line services and some new York shuttles from LNER.

A full freight timetable is running, making for a busy timetable.

Hopefully released on Monday the 16th December.

255 posts 		A few things I've annoyingly noticed since the initial release! You will need to amend the dwell times on your Metro's if you downloaded V1.0 of the 03:40 TT.

Version 1.2

6C86 - Thruline Darlington added.
Tyne and Wear Metros had dwell time (Station forward) set to 00:01:00. This should be 00:00:00 (Default).

In the instructions it does mention you may have to talk that train past a signal at Danger to get it into the sidings.

I'll rewrite it with some more detailed instructions.

255 posts 		6U81 Instructions

Once 6U81 arrives into 4B (advise to make 6U81 non-ARS).
Obtain GF 1082 and set the route and the handsignal into the Down sidings.
Set the points ahead of T888 and lock them reverse.
Talk 6U81 past T888 at danger and into the Down Sidings.

266 posts 		next - 6C86 - it has a 2 min stop on the Up Main at Darlington ( I'm running everything manual except the metro line )

6C86 is being chased by 3D01 at Darlington though at this point , should 6C86 not go into the loop rather than stand on the main , to be bypassed ?

The TT is as it was written by NR so I can't change that.
I believe 6C86 has a timed pause at Darlington so that 1N51 gets the route into Darlington first. 3D01 divides in P4 and by that time 6C86 is well on its way.

Hopefully you're enjoying the TT.

I know some of the stock is capable of 75mph running but they are all timed at 60mph so I think that's where I've got confused. Changed them all to 60mph now in V1.4.

In real life (back in the mid-1980s, at least) it was regarded as perfectly legitimate to reclassify a train if the vehicles on it were authorised for a higher speed. At Willesden the AYM (rather than the Yard Supervisor) would let Control know but, by and large, it would be down to the signalmen en-route to decide how to regulate it. Chances are they would take no action until it showed up early in their describer as a 4 rather than a 6 (the usual change we made), as there would be no way of telling what previous boxes would be able to do with it to take advantage of the reclassification.

5S09 Shunts to the Forth Banks line (07:35) for around 90 minutes freeing up platform 3.
2T06 then arrives at 07:38, next working 2T11 at 07:48.

Nice timetable by the way, certainly busy enough ! .. timetabling at benton does indeed look very tight ... up to 8 .... it keeps you jumping from one end of the sim to the other !

Yeah that's due to the ones calling at Newcastle P11 having to be shortened due to the sim not being quite up to date.

Chris, this sounds similar to what I encountered in testing, although it did TRTS before the next train arrived there was still something odd.

Something to do with dwell times maybe? If it arrived late….

I’ve never noticed anything unusual during my testing but I’ll take another look.
