I noticed that at Briton Ferry, Traksy still shows the facing crossover and connection to the down end of the yard. These were removed a while ago, although I'm not sure when.

March 2019, I believe.

(I constantly cross check the 140 Freightmaster maps using a combination of Google Satellite view
and 'drivers eye view' videos on Youtube to find and correct issues like this, especially in parts of the
country that I am not personally familiar with, i.e. most of it!)

Interesting that it's just off the area that got resignalled last year, so it's in the relatively small part of that map that hasn't been updated recently. That said, they must have taken it up virtually as soon as I drew it...

I've made the change internally anyway, so it's likely to get released in the next week or so

Not sure if this thread is the right place to report this, so if not then apologies - I tried emailing but not sure if it got through. If it did then just ignore this!

With the signalling etc work done at Dunblane recently, I've noticed that if you search for Stirling on Traksy and then move North, the lines stop at Bridge of Allan.

If you search for Dunblane though then you get a different page and can move South to Stirling and North to Gleneagles etc, although a few of the train describer boxes are shifted towards the top of the screen.

Hopefully the attached screenshots will make it clear.

Is it possible a link could be inserted at Lostock Hall Junction that takes you directly to the page for the East Lancs line towards Bamber Bridge and Blackburn. It has been missing since the page was re-drawn several months ago. Thanks in advance.Tracksy Lostock Hall.jpg

If @takno is happy with this being an unofficial forum for bug reporting, please see below. Otherwise I can submit directly through the website.
  • Skelton Jn (Altrincham) links to Skelton Jn (York).
  • The changes from the Edgeley Jn to New Mills South Jn resignalling are not yet included.

I'll take a note of all of these. To be honest I've been put off doing anything much for the railway by LNER's disgusting fares changes recently - it feels nice to do stuff for an organisation that makes a commitment to get you places for a reasonable price, and not so much for an organisation that uses a huge amount of goodwill and government money to compete poorly with airlines. I'm sure I'll do them eventually though.

As far as I'm aware the Edgeley to New Mills South changes are complete though.

Thank you for your efforts regardless as they're very valuable for a huge number of people to have quicker / more convenient views of the maps and data.

Also around Castleford where a newish crossover giving access to platform 2 from the Knottingley line hasn't been added.

It's a great resource to see which route a train is taking in the event of platform changes or where it actually is.

Yes sorry I've double checked and the updated signals are showing - just that EY1.45 is physically located at the Stockport end of Woodsmoor station P1, rather than between Woodsmoor and Davenport. Not sure if you have access to SSPs but the number is 15-NW-0043/1.

I don't have access, but that should be easy enough to fix - I just guessed the new locations so they are likely to be a bit off

Is it possible to add Bow Street station when convenient please? It's on one of the sections between Borth and Aberystwyth.

I'm aware of this one, although I'm not sure when and what got resignalled. Will take a look at it, probably next week when I'm back from holidays.

Basically the ECML from Arlesey to Welwyn which is not so bad in itself, but the fun part
is that there are now a dozen or so 'virtual berths' in each direction between Knebworth
and Digswell which are part of an overlay for forthcoming in cab signalling trials.


As always, if you want any assistance, drop me a PM. :smile:

Ah got you. It was the virtual berths bit I hadn't noticed. I should be able to figure those out and add them in for now, as long as they are registering as berth steps in the usual way.

I really need to rework the software to handle them more smartly now that they're rolling out more widely. Mind you, the channel tunnel, Thameslink core and crossrail all seem to work slightly differently, so might require a bit of thought. Crossrail in particular seems to have them working like track circuits, and not really in the way the original documentation suggested at all. Happy days...

This is now live. As mentioned the ECTS preparation makes it a bit more exciting, and I've created a detailed view for the area which contains all the new berths so that you can see the additional information. Open to suggestions on the best way to display this without the maps getting too big

Saw that today, I think it works well.
