A great journey however there are issues towards the end that i encountered. Held at a red for ages just outside West Hampstead with a train occupying the platform ahead. I had to save and restart, managed to TAB the signal however the train had not moved until i approached the platform and then the train disappeared. Never had that before. Then on arrival to to P4 as St Pancras there is a train occupying the platform again this time has no front or rear just carriages. Was very odd.
I had the same issue too.
Yes, I had the same issues too.
A great scenario, all went well until the approach to St Pancras and I was routed via Kentish Town P3 for some reason.
Benelena,
Thanks for your comment and I’m glad you found it to be a great scenario but I’m sorry about the issue you came across at Kentish Town though. I did run multiple tests of this scenario before releasing it at various stages of development and never encountered this issue myself. I think it might just be on of those random TS issues where scenarios play out slightly differently on individual systems. Were you still able to complete the scenario? If not, I’m happy to edit it with a marker to be routed the correct way through Kentish Town if you’d like? See if that resolves it for you.
Kind Regards
John.
Hi John, To be truthful, I was only less than a mile from the terminus but when I looked on the 2D map the blue route line seemed to be taking me round the curve to the left, and away from St P., so I didn’t think I would be able to complete. During my running of the scenario at one point I did need to save and reload, do you think this may have had a a bearing on the problem. If you think so I would be happy to run again from the start.
Kind regards to you too John.
