ACI not working for me. 29/12/2024 at 14:30 #159753

1799 posts 		This will probably be the last stupid question in 2024.

I've started a Victoria Central 2012 Timetable and ACI isn't working.
So what have I done wrong?

5T12 on approach did ACI for me into the correct berth on arrival at Victoria, so not too sure what's going on. I also sped things up for 5E84 at Sutton and it also did ACI for me with the attached save.

180 posts 		Just spun up your save too and I can't replicate the fault.
Train in platform 9 instantly ACIs on clock start (2A09 > 2R02)
The only way I was able to get the same issue is by changing the TD of an inbound service to that of the outbound before it has arrived in the station, this together with the way the TD berths work at this station, results in the TD being put in the arrival berth which is different to the departure berth - On most other sims I've used if you don't update the TD for the inbound service it will depart again with that TD, but not here the TD does not get moved from the arrival berth to the departure.
The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails

I've just rerun from the same save and 2A09 doesn't change to 2R02. Furthermore, when trains leave Victoria their TDs don't update and I'm having to change them manually.
Is this the way things are supposed to work, is this timetable broken or am I doing something wrong?

1436 posts 		I think it is only the seeded trains already in platform that are leaving unidentifed.
All fresh arrivals that arrive from your save are doing ACI correctly for me.

Starting the timetable new, it runs OK.
The seeds are shown as say 'PL12' at the buffers and an ARS correct (cyan) ACI of 5L51 at the country end of the platform and in the berths table.

Did you delete all the platform TD contents and put in the outward TD's at the buffers in non-ARS (pink)?

Yes I did change them. Was that a mistake?

EDIT: I'll start the sim again and won't change the TDs of the trains in the platforms.

1799 posts 		Can I change the TDs of these 3 trains or should I leave them as they are?
.......


EDIT: I meant to just ask about "BAT1"
The other two are OK as they are.

'BAT1' should be going into Battersea CHS1 so it can form 5C02-2. Has it not been on the phone ?

Indeed, particularly as Victoria has those 'arrival' berths as explained by RFW above. If you want to run without ARS all you need to do is cancel the ARS areas, you do not need to set every train to non-ARS as well.
