Westbury

Version History

Added platform numbers at Newbury Racecourse (optional and not scored).
Tweaked hand signals to mitigate adverse change of aspect
Removed Westbury Yard numbering from timetable as it caused mismatches with telephone instructions
Location alterations

Trains exiting Yeovil and Melksham will auto request their Slots.
Trains entering at these laocations are slotted by setting the requisite route from the slotted signal.
Extensive revision of the signal approach release and approach locking.

Several locations that were missing have been added. (Hungerford Goods Loop [GDS LOOP] is still not labelled, but is the loop between Hungerford and Kintbury on the UP line.)
Barrow crossing at Westbury Station; there is a delay of 10-15 seconds between setting a route and the signal clearing.

You need to seek permission to route trains into a number of yards and sidings and quarries. This is done from the Telephone menu. Note only trains heading for Merehead "ARR" need permission, trains can shunt into the "DEP" end at will. At some locations you will be given a specific siding to enter, you will be scored on the correct use.
Permission for trains to enter will be made from several yards, sidings and quarries.
You need to grant a slot to Swindon to allow trains to enter from Chippenham/Thingley Junction over the Melksham single line. Exiting trains do not need permission from Swindon.
Anti-gridlock action taken at Thingley Jn, the exiting trains will now fall-off the Sim earlier and locations Chippenham and Wootton Bassett are no longer required in them.
