    Hi there,
    I am using TS 2020 in a Windows 10 desktop environment.
    I am in Scenario BR Blues at Doncaster Works.
    I am trying to get to Loco Main Jacks 4 and am trying
    to move the moving bridge platform.
    The train is at the edge and I can see the lever symbol when I move
    the mouse near the edge. When click the mouse the bridge does not move.
    Any ideas anyone?
    regards
    Leigh

    The "moving bridge platform" also known as a Traverser is moved with the letter G or Shift+G
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_table
    Basically the same as a turntable.
    It will only work if you are on a train/loco near the traverser - click on the G or shift+G and it comes to you
    Use the G/shift+G to move to another track - it won't move, it wouldn't for me, unless I was in a train cab

    The way I usually do it is when approaching the table open the F1 view (the one which tells you your instruction list) and then on the right hand side of the screen as switch toggles which change the switches ahead or behind your consist.
    One thing to note is that your consist direction remains the same throughout the scenario, changing ends or reversing matters not, so what I tend to do is to stick the lights on and leave them set as they are, so I always know which is "ahead of me" and which is "behind", even if I've changed ends or started reversing.
    As with the answer above, this only works on the next junction, so you can do this whenever the table is "the next thing to be moved" ahead of the first thing in your consist, or behind the last if you get what I mean
