Hi Connor, will you please list the Activity Filename not the Title, it took a while to find it amongst all the Activities I have for this Route.
Where are you getting stuck in the GC_WC_09 which in the briefing says that the 321 Train has broken down and you need to rescue it, the
end of the briefing states Important "When reversing towards the platform at Tring,, you MUST obtain permission from the signal box before
passing the shunt signal ( Use the Tab Key )
Is this where you are getting stuck and if you haven't pressed the Tab key at this point then rerun the Activity and obey this instruction so that
you can complete it successfully.

Well, can you give me an example of an activity filename list? But what do I do and where do I go after I pick up the broken-down cars at Tring? That's what I should have meant.

Hi Connor, the Activity Title, i.e. the one you asked about is not how it is named in the Activity Folder, you should of stated the title starts with
WC_09 at least that would identify the Act you are having trouble with.
Do you not read the briefing that appears before you start any activity because this explains what you have to do after you pick up the failed
train.
Quote from the Briefing :- Drag the failed train back to the depot for inspection. You will follow the failed units stopping pattern as far as Harrow
& Wealdstone, where the passengers can use connecting services to complete their journey.

Hi,

How is the activity named in the sim or via train store?

I've not got wce installed at the minute; but find the titles are often of more use than the file names as I can see those at a glance from train store without having to go digging around in the activities folder to see which file relates to which activity!

Hi Geoff, in the Activity Folder it is called GC_WC_09 but the Activity Title it is called WC09 - Class 321 Rescue.
Hi Connor, looking at my Activity-Analysis Sheet which I produce for any Activity in a Route so that I can write down anything relating to
that particular Activity.
In this case I wrote down the Timetable for the following station Stops :-
Birkhampstead arr. 14:30:00 dept. 14:31:00
Hemel Hempstead arr. 14:35:00 dept. 14:36:00
Apsley arr. 14:38:00 dept. 14:39:00
Kings Langley arr. 14:41.00 dept. 14:42:00
Watford Junction arr. 14:46:00 dept. 14:47:00
Bushey arr. 14:49:00 dept. 14:50:00
Harrow & Wealdstone arr. 14:54:00 dept. 14:55:00
After Harrow and Wealdstone when you have permission to leave carry on until Willesden Junction Siding and stop before the Yellow Ground Signal
to end the Activity.
