Hi all,

I am working on a SimSig TT at the moment and am currently putting in the trains from Bristol to Manchester. The National Rail TT on Network Rail's website gives the timing loads as Class 221s.

However I think the Manchester ones are, in fact, 220s. Or at least some of them are. Am I correct with this and, if so, which workings does this apply to?

Cheers,
Dave

Makes no difference, SRTs are the same. Tilting 221s have their own timing load of 221-T

The Cross Country class 221s have the tilt mechanism isolated so they can operated with 220s so I'd image there would only need to be one lot of timings.

Cheers guys but I need to know which ones are run by which class so that I can ultimately set the train length as needed!

Thanks Dan. Will set things up as those and make amendments as necessary if someone corrects this.

No worries: someone has emailed me their log from last Friday so I will base my SimSig diagram on that.
