Just for the sake of it tung

rough musk
#

found out what BTET is - block to electric traction

#

thought I hadn't seen it before and that's probably why

whole gate
#

interesting

#

can't see when i'd ever use it but

#

Just when it was peace and quiet

rough musk
#

can't see how you get around that without turning trains around

whole gate
#

I can just guide them through

#

SPAD approval and move on

#

cause it aint on points thankfulyl

rough musk
#

ah yeah

#

point failure and you're screwed

whole gate
#

just a TSF

#

also had 2 failures on the same train on the day

rough musk
#

unlucky train that is

#

and even if it was a point failure it depends on how they are set i guess, get the first train to check and if they're fine then get other trains to go with caution

whole gate
#

oh i just literally sent my first train thru with a spad approval

#

woopsy

#

just the painful task of Re-interposing

Cleared of your last train incident? Good, here's two more at the same station trollHD

rough musk
#

oh fun

whole gate
#

right...

#

9 mins early == 1430 mins late

rough musk
#

sounds about right

whole gate
#

someone didn't do the next-day TT properly lol

rough musk
#

i guess because its meant to run the next day its taken the time as earlier that day

whole gate
rough musk
#

so now the down fast out of peterborough is blocked for about half an hour... fun

rough musk
#

and now i have issues: 5P62 needs to use the down fast to reverse (like 5P60 in the other image) but because of the track circuit failure i cant get the points to change

#

and i dont know what im meant to do as it needs to go left

#

i dont know where to reverse it or get it onto the ECML

#

going past the shunt signal with LOS doesnt work

whole gate
#

so random... goes US>UF>Down Bramley>Up Bramley

whole gate
#

test it first obviously before changing the TT

rough musk
#

gave up eventually and loaded a snapshot but will try this at some point

whole gate

busy bram

Curtail to feltham, problem solved

I did and I ended up writing some 1ZXX diagrams

rough musk
#

what's port talbot like for one person? looks doable but not with a particularly busy timetable

rough musk
#

update: perfectly fine at 5am

rough musk
#

first time playing piccadilly and ive had the slow into the station effectively taken out of use by 3 TCFs from one train

whole gate
#

Least they’re not points failures

rough musk
#

true

After techies finally fixed it, just running straight fast to Gatwick or Victoria, not my area or my problem

spiral ibex
#

lazyyyyyy

#

should have fixed it urself

whole gate
#

you wouldn't have known what to do

spiral ibex
#

TCF parkside junction, 3C91 needed to travel via Parkside-Lowton-Golborne to Wigan, so couldnt move. Blocked everything for an hour and a half ❤️

torpid glacier
#

Either way sounds chaos

topaz parcel
#

the nearest crossover from the MCR end wouldve been eccles east junction which is 11 miles away from parkside jnc

#

I’d love to do a proper simsig session and link up with others and stuff but I use a mobile hotspot as a connection for the PC at the moment so it’s not possible for me to host. I can still chain up with others though.

topaz parcel
#

im not doing 11 miles of wrong line running on the chat moss

torpid glacier
#

Could’ve canceled a load of services and maybe sent them back starting with 2F15? But I’m not sure.

topaz parcel
#

Too much effort

torpid glacier
spiral ibex
#

had a points failure so hopped into making a service out of the limited trains i had

#

my rushed timetabling making

rough musk
#

better than whatever nonsense GWR/TfW did on saturday which is definitely not my next timetable(s) to release
does seem like it could happen in reality

spiral ibex
#

presumably 2L72 irl would be diverted

rough musk
#

assuming its a cross city line train itd probably be terminated in new st

spiral ibex
#

maybe

#

got busy in alrewas

spiral ibex
#

last trains

spiral ibex
#

last ECSs

#

and all finished

I'm so good at this game that I've gridlocked myself

twilit notch
#

what is this game

whole gate
#

SimSig as the title of the thread suggests

main kraken
#

liverpool street, mid rush hour with 3 track circuit failures

#

i always take the realistic option and route trains around them if i can instead of sending them thru it (its effort as well typing the headcode in 5 times)

#

later on in the sim a track circuit failure happened on a junction on the WAML platforms and a train that was due in at 21:19 got in at 01:43

#

going to try pbo w/ disruption tomorrow, try out the kings cross panel (god help me cuz it doesnt have ars) or exeter
