Relevant bits Peter....you can't claim that there's been selective quoting to intentionally twist/skew the meaning.

But in a question relating to "what's important when building a route" it doesn't/shouldn't matter who's building it---DTG, Just Trains, AP (if Richard ever does decide to do another) or freeware; the ethos/basis is still the same.

Without some sort of focus it's all an academic matter. There has to be some basis for any kind of discussion about route quality.

Real enough for you to abandon creating a scenario; real enough for you to cite it as an example. I only corroborated your observation.[

quote="749006"]From that I knew that it might not be fixable[/quote]

The important word there is "might". It "might" be easily fixed, it "might" be fiddly to fix, it "might" involve a radical shift in route building thinking....and then again it "might" not.
Foggy's observations make sense, but until the route is re-visited at an editing level they're just observations from an earlier time---for all we know the changes in the core programming of the game may/"might" allow such editing...and then again it may/"might" not.
There's nothing wrong, and very little lost, by returning to old issues and trying again.

To me the St Pancras Issue is not important if it only affect One Scenario I was creating.
Foggy pointed out why DTG might have made it like that and the fact I can run all the other scenarios for the Bed-Pan apart from the One I was making is not important.
An amended scenario was run without the Eurostar

Getting track and signals sorted on a route I run/would run a lot is more important for the running of trains.

Well now you have the option to make it even less of an issue... https://youtu.be/kadS3jYEsUY

The files for it are at https://ln.sync.com/dl/dc34d9d70/svfamy ... w-pduhyqhg

I've tested it as much as I can, but as it's a Tracks.bin edit I'd recommend that you fully back up your existing route folder before applying it---whilst I've seen no issues in other scenarios I obviously haven't the scenarios you have, and we have to be mindful of Foggy's post still, so *cover yer árse* if you install it. It includes the speed limit sign thing from 3 years ago (how time flies!) so you wouldn't have to apply that again.
Somebody else can add invisible platform lofts to make the platforms fully functional, as I've other wee jobs to finish off.

Thanks Gary

The Scenario I had was for a MML service to arrive with a Eurostar also arriving a few platforms across - by making the Eurostar arrive in a platform with the door on the opposite side to the MML
So the doors on it are not visible
