Version 1.6 (Released 25/04/2018)

Trains not pressing TRTS with multiple platform signals fixed
Dudley Port Down Goods Loop stepping fixed

Version 1.4 (Released 09/04/2018)

TD berth association for NS446 fixed
Passenger trains will no longer accept the route via Soho Depot. Note that some timetables with class 3 ECS may need ensuring their "use goods lines" option is checked.
NS404 overlap checking fixed
Shunt routes to 153/224 in the station throat fixed
Far end of P9A platform track shortened slightly
Trains will no longer start from a platform if the end signal is not off. Note that this does not stop trains traversing A->B or B->A ends as they are still required.
168-148-167 aspect sequence fixed
153/224 signal stems weren't hiding. Now the signals can't be hidden.

Version 1.3 (Released 31/07/2015)

Some issues with southbound shunts resolved at New Street
Timetable analyser issues fixed
Some corrections to the Stourbridge fringe
Signals 499 and 442 shouldn't appear in 1970s/1990s era
SJ21 TD berth not clearing fixed
Trains from Landor Street held at NS143 don't ring in, nor do they ring in at NS144
Some track connections fixed (only occurred with wrong road running)
Incorrect "No overlap available" errors at Aston if route set through opposite platform

Version 1.2 (Released 24/03/2015)

Renamed "Birmingham New Street" instead of just "New Street"
Overlap selection controls added
Platform lengths fixed
Track circuits will now fail
Via buttons are mandatory
Up Sutton (1970s) to Aston path segment added
Line speed incorrect - Up Stour [Stechford to Marston Green]
Various signal allocations fixed

Version 1.0 (Released 14/03/2014)

First release.

Known Issues

Exchange Sidings should have existed in the 1970s and early 80s. There is no plan to implement this as it is very complex in an area that already has a large number of era differences.
