Huge thanks to Dom Cazaux and Thomas King for their invaluable help in testing this scenario, cheers guys!
I do hope you enjoy this scenario.
I’m having an issue with the return journey from Leicester to Nottingham after Syston the dispatcher is routing me onto the wrong line which causes a run-over points that are locked by the Nottingham Norwich 158!
I had this too
Hi both. The scenario has been tested multiple times and was run on a live stream by TrainSimTV last night, so the scenario itself is fine.
Do you have the latest versions of the MML route and the D-N-L extensions installed?
Yup.
Yes, however I did save the scenario and return to it later, that may have been a factor.
I’ve re-downloaded and installed it, I will give it another go, if not then I will have to put in a destination marker and see if it obeys that instruction?
I also had this issue. I have all requirements so definitely a scenario issue.
Hi Thomas,
Had you saved and re-loaded the scenario at all? Sometimes that can cause issues. I can assure that the scenario does function correctly if played throughout.
