Updates for the week to 7th July 2019

Now that we have a vastly improved server infrastructure, we’re able to do releases on a much more frequent basis. This week, there’s been a minor release every couple of days, and we’ve done the following:

  • At Ferryhill South Junction, the berth for signal T474 populates when Y474 at Northallerton is occupied. We think this is a cosmetic error within the signalling system itself, with no impact on safety. We’ve put a note on the map to mention this
  • Between Horsforth and Headingley, berth 3888 never showed trains. We’ve fixed this
  • The Rugby map now has route indications for about a third of the map, and we’ve fixed an error with the positioning of some signals in the yard
  • Many of the route indications at Sittingbourne showed incorrectly. This was down to a problem with data mapping on our side – we were one bit out! We’ve fixed this, and in the coming hours, the incorrect routes should clear out. We’ve also added route and signal indications to the Sheppey branch
  • Signals TL2047 and TL2049 near North Kent East Junction to the right of the London Bridge map now show their aspect
  • We’ve removed the berth for signal 1001 at Meadowhall (Sheffield), as this is a distant signal
  • At Clapham Junction, we’ve added some more route indications on platforms 1 to 11
  • Trains through the tunnel near High Brooms disappeared, so we’ve added an extra berth so don’t disappear
  • Platform 1 at Willesden Junction can have a train terminate and run back north to Harlesden. We’ve added the missing berth, which is useful when London Overground terminate trains there
  • At Nunhead, we had signal 452 listed twice, and we’ve corrected this
  • Trains to and from Selby at Temple Hirst Junction between Doncaster and York now show in all berths on the line, and route indications for trains to and from the branch will now appear
  • Signal G426 at Cheltenham Spa is now shown as a ground position light (GPL), not a main aspect
  • Missing signal B66 near Nailsea & Yatton is now on the map, so trains will no longer disappear there
  • Some errors crept in around the junction to Yate – two signals were missed, and some route indications were incorrectly drawn
  • We now have route indications around Newport

We’ve also started planning for the migration to our new back-end server infrastructure, which will start with our train describer processor. Once this is live, the hit-and-miss linking between trains on the map and schedule data will be much, much more robust. More on that in later weeks.

  1. There is a mistake at Chislehurst Kent , you still have 2 route for AD22 on the up Chatham loop & AD26 on the up fast , the points that you from the up fast to the up slow country side of Chislehurst station has been removed

  2. Another mistake is L1310 shunt at Hither Green on the Departure road , the shunt signal is not there anymore because it was too close to L1312 shunt signal , because the train Drive were SPADING L1310 shunt

  3. > We’ve also started planning for the migration to our new back-end server infrastructure, which will start with our train describer processor. Once this is live, the hit-and-miss linking between trains on the map and schedule data will be much, much more robust.

    Will this reduce the number of “Yellow – no schedule found” trains on the maps?
