Bristol problem 18/02/2010 at 17:46 #731

After Afro's fun game on Bristol last night/early this morning I decided to spark up Bristol myself and have a go as I'd gotten quite confident with 'Bristol' panel which I found easier than it looks (apart from one minor misreading of North Somerset Jn).

Downloaded a couple of the tasty looking timetables including Bristol 2005 V4.0 EASY which I'm currently using now.

Chugging along nicely with it at the moment thanks for wondering/asking however stumbled on a little problem.

Note the train at Platform 4, I signalled it as booked into Platform 4 yet it came up with a wrong platform message?

Train 1B94 in Platform 4 at Bristol Parkway

[sup](apologies for the funny colours in the message box - it's not like that for real, honest! It would seem that something went slightly wrong with the screenshot)[/sup]

I'm using the timetable mentioned above (at least I'm pretty sure it's that timetable) and I'm in 'Modern mode' on Bristol (latest 'Scrolly' version, 2.202.0.0).

Cannot work out why this happened or why I was penalised for correctly routing the train unless I'm missing something somewhere?

Help appreciated so thanks in advance for replying.

I'm pretty sure it's a known issue on the Bristol sim.
