I have a question relating to the GF procedure and how the devs have implemented it. Just for everyone's awareness I live 4 miles from Coombe, have done for 25+ years and have seen from the train and the track what goes on more times than I care to mention. I do not require clarification on the IRL working, only how the sim does it. So when I ask to stop a train at Coombe No.1 for 1 minute it stops and then departs, but then there's 90 seconds before the call comes through saying the token has been replaced and the points realigned. For a DN train, there are two stops at Coombe No.1 IRL, one to let the guard off (generally over the LC) and operate the GF then one 40m down the line at the trailing end of the jn (on the LOOE branch only) to let the guard back on. The procedure is reversed for UP trains. Is the 'stopping point' at Coombe No.1 considering the first stop only? Or does it consider both and there is a minimum stop train that irrespective what is timetabled it will always keep to? When a train stops at Coombe No.1 in the sim, what is the sim actually doing? Just the discrepancy between the train "departing" Coombe No.1 and then the call coming in 90 seconds later got me wondering. Thanks 7-5-5, closing of comment Log in to reply |
