Thanks to Tim for agreeing to look at the scoring again. It would remove the frustration from what is an excellent sim.
Having played the 16th March (Saturday level 5) version a few times the main problem seems to be where trains incur a delay whilst passing through St Davids. This happens where a WR train is booked to be overtaken by a faster service that is running late, resulting in both trains being ready to proceed at the same time, and one having to be delayed. Similarly, also when a westbound SR service and a northbound WR service are both ready to proceed to Cowley Bridge at the same time.
Would it also be possible to allow two local departures to be shunted into either end of platform 6 which I believe was the normal practice.
Looking forward to the GC simulations
Regards
Peter Lovell

There have been so many changes that could affect the scoring that I
think I shall have to recalibrate this one from scratch, particularly
for Saturdays.
Best wishes,
Tim.
