Derby Information Screens showing CrossCountry call at ABHLJN?

[johnnychips]

According to the PIS at Derby, the 1244 XC service to Motherwell is calling at Alnmouth, Berwick, ABHLJN, Edinburgh...

What’s that mean please?

 

[E_Reeves]

That is Abbeyhill Jn where it is scheduled to stop for 30 seconds waiting to get into Edinburgh.

 

[johnnychips]

Aha thanks! Must be a mistake on the PIS.

Stop wasn't suppressed at our end when it was uploaded, happens occasionally.

[plug] Definitions for this and thousands more can be found on www.railwaycodes.org.uk/crs/CRS0.shtm and its sub pages.

Random fact: you can paste it into real time trains advanced search location field and it will show timings for abbey hill junction. Works with CRS and other tiplocs too.

Time for a future stop at Reston!

90s minimum passengee stop for a 221... And from a much higher line speed at Reston!

I have seen this happen a handful of times before - at Weston-Super-Mare the other week the train I left was advertised as calling at "Worle, YATTONL, Yatton.......". I did a bit of a double take as I first thought Yatton had just seen put on twice.

That's odd. Didn't think there was any booked passenger workings into the Loop. Normally just occurs ad-hoc when theres a late running XC.

The mistake is on the schedule, rather like the EMT HST schedule showing a call at Swinton a few weeks ago.

The passenger information screen is just displaying what it's told.

I think it was a VAR schedule and though I didn't remain on the train, I seem to recall looking up the journey later and seeing it had about 3 minutes at Yatton so presumably didn't use the loop. There are a couple of 2Zxx schedules this week booked into the loop as well, but whether it will actually be used I don't know

Looks like two Airshow Extras yesterday used it.

Of late it has been much more than 'occasionally'!

(That said, I get that in the current climate these kinds of issues are some way down the list of priorities.)

I am quite amazed this still happens. I first came across it around 10 years ago when I was responsible for long term planning on the ECML south of Doncaster. I got a phone call one day from a rather irate MD of Hull Trains when his flagship morning business service to London was shown on the CIS as stopping at High Dyke Jn. At the time it was one of the very few passenger trains to use the slow line immediately south of Grantham. We soon corrected the problem, but I remember thinking at the time it should be an easy software fix to prevent non passenger locations showing up on the CIS. Seemingly I was wrong.

I’m guessing the stop at ABHLJN has an unusual CIF activity in the schedule which the PIS isn’t configured to filter out, or it has been mistakenly been marked as having a passenger activity (T,D or U)

Quite way the PIS doesn’t just filter out TIPLOCs that aren’t stations is beyond me.

A few years ago I can remember a Doncaster-Leeds stopper that had one. It was a late evening one (about 21:20-ish I think) that was scheduled for a DMU. In among all the usual station stops, WKFLDWJNC (or something to that effect anyway, feelfree to put me right! ) show on the information screens. I'm guessing Wakefield West Junction? There certainly isn't a station there anyway!
