THIS TIMETABLE USES THE 1987-2003 ERA ON THE WOLVERHAMPTON SIM. I've just uploaded my Wolverhampton summer 1990 TT for moderator approval. This timetable covers the period from the 13th May, 1990 to 28th September, 1990. The timetable has 852 trains in total in it so it's quite busy with loco changes from Electric to Diesel or VV on Euston to Shrewsbury to Euston services. There's pleanty of MGR traffic to Ironbridge Power Station originating from Silverdale, Chatterley Valley & Littleton Colliery. Some of those MGR trains crew change at Oxley so you need to keep an eye out for those. Below is what's shown in the 'General' tab on the TT:- This timetable was written using the following British Railways official publications:- British Railways London Midland Region Section CC Working Timetable of Passenger, Parcels,Freight & Departmental Train Services Euston to Stafford(via Birmingham & Bescot). Birmingham to Hereford, Banbury & Paddington. Derby to Bristol & Cardiff. Aylesbury to Bedford. Dated 14th May, 1990 to 12th May, 1991. British Railways London Midland Region Section CH Working Timetable of Passenger, Parcels, Freight & Departmental Train Services between Crewe to Holyhead & Branches. Crewe to Cardiff & Llanelli & Branches. Wolverhampton to Chester & Branches. Dated 14th May, 1990 to 12th May, 1991. British Rail London Midland Region Trip Notice for WCML(South) & West Midlands comm. May, 1990 UFN. Bescot Area Freight Train Loads Book 1991. Birmingham New Street May, 1990 Arrivals & Departure Book. Littleton Colliery Shunt Frame. Because of the complexities of using the Shunt Frame at Littleton below are the levers you need reversing fo trains going into or out of the Colliery via the way in or the 3 ways out:- 1. For trains going into the Colliery via LC10:- Reverse Levers 1, 11, 2, 3 & 10. 2. For trains going out & reversing at signal LC10: Reverse Levers 1, 11, 2, 3 & 7. Once the train stops behind LC10 restore Levers 7 & 3 and reverse Lever 10. 3. For trains coming out of the colliery & running direct to Stafford: Reverse levers 1, 11. 2, 3 & 7. 4. For trains 7T59 which conveys shortened MGR sets come off the 2 dead end roads at Littleton Colliery & enter at LC6 sig. Just the Up Line release is needed, Reverse Levers 1, 4 & 6. The shortened set MGR trains covered by Trip 59 are the only trains that go out of Littleton Colliery onto the Up Stour direct. Everything else reverses behind signal LC10. The only other exception is 6T42 which cre-enters at Stafford & stops to go into Littleton Colliery to detach empty mGR wagons. For this move you'll need to revser levers 1, 4 & 8 to go into the colliery & Levers 1, 4 & 6 reversed when it is ready to come back out.

A word of advice about Littleton Colliery ground frame. There is a 3 minute wait after pressing the roundel before you can pull the levers therefore it's important to press the roundel as soon as possible to avoid delays. You can press the Up roundel as soon as a train passes signal 205 and you can press the Down roundel as soon as a train passes signal 208. You don't have to wait until the train comes to a halt before pressing the roundels.

Keen for this one. An early one to look at - today is Thursday, with no delays on, 4O65 entered and waited time at Rickerscote, then 7V52 entered behind it. According to the notes 7V52 should have entered first. It won't make a difference to the end result but goes contrary to the notes. Log in to reply |

1J06 needs its stopping position adjusting - when 0J06 drops on the front it sits in advance of WN82.

flabberdacks in post 160416 said:Keen for this one.As & when Stafford is OK'd by the Mods on that TT 4O65 is in Rickerscote Loop as per the WTT & 7V52 is actually booked to depart the Stafford area first despite 4O65 arriving in Rickercote first IIRC. I think 7V52 goes into 4 Ashes Loop to allow 4O65 past. That said however when I was running this TT pior to writing Stafford I'd let 7V52 run straight through to Bushbury Jn & 4O65 catches it up, but the delay is negligable as both trains slow for Bushbury Jn & by the time 4O65 goes off sim it's running less than 2 mins late. I'll take a look over this weekend & double check things. Log in to reply |
