Hope Valley SX 2019-01-09

Ok, no problem. It was just a question, not critique :).

Hi.

Seem to be having an issue with T02A/BCCT02A. It enters from the Cement Works to first couple to WAG2 in Run Round 2. That part is successful but then it refuses to move. The train status shows "Stopped (dep 00:00)". Have tried manually altering the dep time, abandoning TT and resuming either at same location or the next (ES Run Round Pts A).

When T02A is status "Stopped (dep 00:00)" you can ask it to shunt forward and it gets up to around 3mph before showing stopped at ES Run Round, brief stop and ready to continue as TT'd.

6F70 0956 from Tunstead is booked to stand at Hazel Grove High Level Junction from 1032 to 1052 rather than stopping in the Down Cheadle Loop it stops at HG25 and blocks the following 1B71.

I'm enjoying this 2019 timetable it's been a pleasure with minimal delays, even the little one of mine enjoyed watching. Although I have a question, I never seem to have got a train enter from Hope Cement Works. One rang in around 00:40hrs but never came onto the sim. I'm sat at 09:00hrs at present with nothing from or to the cement works. I'll presume there could be issues with rules as mentioned elsewhere.

Sorry totally forgot; then forgot I didn't save there I was either trouble with a 9 week old baby. Anyway saves from 0110hrs and 0440hrs.

Update:
One has decided to show this time, save at 0445hrs.

I think I spotted a possible explanation for why sometimes WAG1 and WAG2 remain in the RR sidings at Earles Sidings without the loco taking them into the cement works.
6M88 can run as H44587 (from Dagenham Down Yard) or H44588 (from Theale Lafarge FHH). The cement loco, T04A will run if either H44587 or H44588 runs.
But T04A has a rule to enter 1 minute after H44588 arrives at Earles Sidings SB. So if H44587 runs, the loco won't enter.
It could be the same with 6M08/6M45 and T10A because the entry rule specifies only 6M08 and not 6M45.

Both 0M62 to Earles Sidings and 6M03 to Tunstead both entered from the Sheffield direction. Both trains are running exactly the same timetable unsure if the decision didn't work?

I had the same problem. Check the direction of T02A in the F2 Train list. If it shows Up, reverse its direction. After reversing, it will move a bit, and stop at ES Run Round again, but then it will depart in a few minutes.

Is this something which can be fixed long term?

Also, can I suggest the detachments of the wagons are set to occur at the far end of the lines? I believe I had an occasion where the wagons were preventing points A to be swung, stopping the job.

Also, when this happens on a joining train, the whole train overhangs the whole set of points. On this occasion I reversed the train into the DGL but I have also had it where the route is set towards the works for the reversal and, because it was not fully in the loop, the train has run off into the works afterwards when it was destined for the mainline!

Just finished this cracking timetable and well done to all involved!. Came out with 1 wrong route and a score of 98%.

Could train 6M91 / H31104 have a note applied to it to say it needs ES8 to Shunt Neck off to allow the train to fully into the DGL?.
Also shouldn't all the light engines enter from Tunstead Reception instead of the Quarry lines? I've always seen LEs come off Recp thank Quarry Lines.

I started a run of this timetable with a 4am start (seeded) and ran into an immediate issue. 6L75 enters from RMC, I run it into the long sidings... where instead of deatching the loco 0L75 as the timetable states...it just sits there and phones in about the signal being red.
