Train Details View
Train Details View (schedule)
Opening the Train Details View
Some train details can be viewed by hovering over the train box as show in Figure 44. Details include headcode, TOC, service details e.g. origin time and location and destination location and scheduled time, current location and current status, path and line information. For trains not terminating at the docker location, the tool-tip will also display the next three TIPLOCs within the train’s schedule.
The main Train Details View can be accessed by either left-clicking on the train box, or by using a right-click and selecting View Schedule Details from the pop-up menu, as seen in Figure 45. The Train Details View is also accessible by clicking the headcode in various tabs as describe above e.g. TD map, Global Search
The Train Details View displays information relating to the schedule, associations, conflicts and issues, train running restrictions and plan/re-plan details.
An example of the Train Details View is shown in Figure 46. The top bar displays the headcode, TOC, current lateness and predicted lateness at destination. It also displays the train service information including present status. The blue circled number highlighted in the yellow box indicates the number of train notes.
Schedule
The Schedule information within the Train Details View is split into the planned timetable information on the left, and the actual or forecast schedule information on the right. The Schedule default scrolls to the train’s current location.
Regards planned time: green bold text indicates the current location, orange bold text highlights a planned stopping location, while regular black text are other TIPLOCs within the schedule. For example, in Figure 46 we see 1P66 is at Tollerton and its next station stop is York. Nb. A user can hover over the TIPLOC name to read the full location name e.g. NLRTN = Northallerton.
On the right-hand side: black text displays actual recorded time and platform information, whereas blue italicised text provides forecasted time and lateness. The forecast is informed by the last reported time, minimum TPR activity times vs. schedule times, and allowances (performance, pathing, engineering).
Associations
The Associations drop-down within the Train Details View displays both live and expired associations. See Figure 47.
To amend associations, open the Association Editor via the context menu. See Section 8.5.
Conflicts
The Conflicts drop-down within the Train Details View lists any conflicts applicable to the selected train as shown in Figure 48.
Plan/Re-Plan
The Plan/Re-Plan drop down within the Train Details View lists amendments to the train schedule made both within acumen (either manually or automatically) or received via DARWIN, see Figure 49.
All columns can be sorted in alphabetical order, or in time order as applicable. The search function within the Plan/Re-Plan drop-down allows the user to search for TIPLOCs using predictive text. For example, Figure 50 lists all plan/re-plan entries corresponding to TIPLOCs containing the text-string CREW.
Train Running Restrictions
The Train Running Restrictions drop-down with the Train Details View enables a user to apply a train running restriction to a train, and view any existing restrictions on that train.
There are four data fields here as shown in Figure 51: three different types of restriction that can be added and one field for notes. A combination of fields may be selected when applying a restriction.
The first field allows a user to indicate whether there is a side restriction. The options here are that a train can use platforms on the left, right, or both sides. A TRS conflict will thus be raised if the train is forecast against this restriction, see Section 7.1.9.
Using the second field a user has the option to select a platform to avoid. A TRP conflict will be raised if a train is forecast to use the platform that the restriction says it should avoid, see Section 7.1.8.
The ‘Other Restriction’ field is a free-text field where a user can indicate a train running with a restriction that may not be related to platforming, e.g. train running at reduced speed due to defect. An entry here will always raise a TRN conflict, see Section 7.1.7.
The ‘Notes’ field does not raise any conflicts but can be used to provide more detail to the restriction.
Applied train running restrictions are listed in the Train Running Restrictions drop-down within the Train Details View, and in the Restrictions tab as shown in Figure 52.
Train Notes
A user can attach a note to a train. Once submitted, the text of the note will be displayed in this Train Notes table and the note indicator (top left hand corner) in the Train Details View will be updated, as shown in Figure 53.
On the platform docker, the blue numbered icon will appear next to the train to indicate the number of notes applied. A tool-tip informs the user of this. See Figure 54.
