Annual Christmas nonsense

[Dai Corner]

A lucky passenger will be presented with a glass of sherry after a each stop to ensure the driver passes any drug and alcohol checks

Single Wine Working has been implemented to reduce likelihood of a rough ride.

For anyone interested, this is what it looks like on a departure board. Unfortunately the calling points had to be removed due to memory issues.

It's quite ironic, because there is a real North Pole it could come from (North Pole Depot)

The depot is called North Pole International...

 

[DanNCL]

Hasn't North Pole International depot been renamed to North Pole IEP depot? If so then that might explain why it isn't used for this on RTT

What a cheery thought - nothing like that to brighten up your day

Ha ha. Sorry mate. All the best to you and yours. Hope you all have a great christmas.

That’s OK, you are very correct there! I was being a bit of a depressing downer

Thank you and I hope you have a great Christmas too

Wrong sort of clouds in the way.

At least it’s not the wrong kind of snow...

At least in 'the system', it is still North Pole International.

North Pole International and North Pole IEP Depot exist as two separate locations in the system (and I hope they continue to, because I don't want to have to continue making more jokes about IEPs...)! From the live RTT locations database:

NPLE816 512708 North Pole Signal Vc816 72238

Surely they’ll be getting rid of N.P. international?

 

[The Planner]

Locations rarely die and get deleted, new ones just get added and used.

 

[A Challenge]

It would confuse the system wouldn't it as old trains would go to/through non-exsistant TIPLOCs?

 

[The Planner]

TIPLOCs don't die, we just end date all the associated SRTs so they throw up errors if someone tries to use it.

 

[A Challenge]

What's an SRT?

 

[The Planner]

Sectional Running Time.
