''[[On Our Lines]]''' 1st [[SimSig]] [[SimSig:Sessions|Session]] took place on 2 March 2024. The Session used the [[SimSig:North Wales Coast|North Wales Coast]] and [[SimSig:Chester|Chester]]* simulations, alongside the [[SimSig:ROC|ROC]] system.
''[[On Our Lines]]''' 1st [[SimSig]] [[SimSig:Sessions|Session]] is taking place on 2 March 2024. The Session will be based in North Wales and the borders, with exact simulations to be announced. There will be panels to suit all abilities available, and newcomers are welcome. You can join {{discord channel|#on-our-simsig-lobby}} at any time for the pre-session chat.


Free simulations will be at least one of [[SimSig:North Wales Coast|North Wales Coast]] and [[SimSig:North East Wales|North East Wales]]. Paid simulations, if required, will include [[SimSig:Chester|Chester]] (for ease of chaining options) and may include [[SimSig:Sandhills|Sandhills]], [[SimSig:Shrewsbury|Shrewsbury]] and/or [[SimSig:Crewe|Crewe]] dependent on numbers and simulations owned - please indicate any of these when signing up.

This is your 0700 update from Wales & Borders Route Control. Broadly, a good service has been reported on all routes this morning. However, delays of around 10-15 minutes are expected through [[Penmaenmawr]] later, due to a tamping machine - 6U19 - becoming defective following overnight works. Pilot working is expected to be implemented through the area, working reversibly over the Up Main. Down services will cross over at Penmaenmawr and back at Aber emergency ground frame. Mobile Operations Manager [[SimSig:Joan Jones|Joan Jones]] will be available from approximately 0715 to act as pilot.


To sign up please edit the page and in the Participants section at the bottom enter your user name, your availability, experience level and which paid simulations you have, if any; if you have a preferred panel you can also list it here although this cannot be guaranteed.

==Overview==
Two railtours are expected in the area today: [[SimSig:Add-on timetables/The 5:08 Sunset|The 5:08 Sunset]] and [[SimSig:Add-on timetables/The St. Tudno Wanderer|The Saint Tudno Wanderer]]. Signallers are advised to check these timetables carefully, and ensure that they are routed in accordance with booked working. Other services intervals should be monitored and regulated as necessary.

In addition to MOM Jones, response staff are available at [[Llandudno Junction]], Holywell Junction and [[Chester]]. No spare rolling stock is available at [[Holyhead]], however Chester TMD has 1x [[class 175]] and 2x [[class 150]] units available as required. A spare [[class 22x|22x]] [[Voyager]] set is available at [[Crewe]]. All train crew depots report a good availability throughout the day, with suitable spare cover and no expected coverage issues.

Disruption in the Penmaenmawr area due to a defective tamping machine.

This is your 0700 update from Wales & Borders Route Control. Broadly, a good service has been reported on all routes this morning. However, delays of around 10-15 minutes are expected through Penmaenmawr later, due to a tamping machine - 6U19 - becoming defective following overnight works. Pilot working is expected to be implemented through the area, working reversibly over the Up Main. Down services will cross over at Penmaenmawr and back at Aber emergency ground frame. Mobile Operations Manager Joan Jones will be available from approximately 0715 to act as pilot.

Penmaenmawr panel at 0700. The defective tamping machine is in the Down platform, with pilot working due to be implemented over the Up Main.

Two railtours are expected in the area today: The 5:08 Sunset and The Saint Tudno Wanderer. Signallers are advised to check these timetables carefully, and ensure that they are routed in accordance with booked working. Other services intervals should be monitored and regulated as necessary.

In addition to MOM Jones, response staff are available at Llandudno Junction, Holywell Junction and Chester. No spare rolling stock is available at Holyhead, however Chester TMD has 1x class 175 and 2x class 150 units available as required. A spare 22x Voyager set is available at Crewe. All train crew depots report a good availability throughout the day, with suitable spare cover and no expected coverage issues.
