FreightLocate on the blink

[59CosG95]

Does anyone know why FreightLocate is displaying no freight AT ALL through Tamworth LL? All the headcodes seemed to be displayed for Platforms 3 and 4, but not for 1 and 2.

Tamworth is a difficult location with freightlocate, it only seems to report stopping trains on the low level. Put Amington Junction in and you should get everything that goes through Tamworth L.L, and nothing that doesn't.

Ah, thanks very much!

The same glitch applies to many other stations around the country;
Wandsworth Road is a particularly good example, as the only trains
to be 'timed' there are London Overground local trains - freight, empty
stock moves, plus the SouthEastern passenger services to Orpington,
Ashford, Dover, etc, seem to be missing, but in fact are timed at nearby
Voltaire Road Junction, just like Amington Junction for Tamworth.

Interestingly, RTT solves the Tamworth problem by inserting passing times
for Tamworth 'on the day' for non stop trains timed at Amington Junction,
but that means that there is no way to only show trains at Tamworth HL;
you have to see all trains on both levels!


I go for a compromise: there are two completely seperate
FMonline timetables for Tamworth LL and Tamworth HL,
but my RealTime map shows trains approaching on both
routes on one map, which I believe makes it the only such
map to do so...
