I'm guessing the Voyager and hit the Wessex head on, scattering it into the Class 33's way.

Well this is the thing i know i was in the wrong it was my first time on that activity the signal was green all of them as far as i could see. At Bournemouth depot i had come to the red signal waiting to be cleared and reverse onto the mainline. I needed to back up at the signal a bit then i put the brakes on but the unit moved forwards a tad as i was putting the brakes on and the signal had changed. So i went on reversed into Branksome and headed for Bournemouth then the voyager came and smack.

The activity is 'Coastal Coupling', activity number 32.

Ensure any reverse points disappear etc before moving off. There are shown as small white arrows on the Track Monitor (F4).
