Invisible trains in Bristol 1985 v3.21

In Train Dispatcher, there is usually a 24 hour timetable for every day in the week (e.g., excursion trains on weekends), so you nominate the day as well as the time when you wish to commence. When you eventually reach the end of one day, the next day automatically begins (you don't notice the transition, which is one reason sims like this can become so addictive), and so for the week. I realize this would mean a great deal of extra timetabling for the writers, but offer it as a suggestion to avoid buildup when starting to play.

SimSig has a 99 hour timetable so you could start slowly on a Sunday (00-23) and finish on a Monday (24-47 hours) - or later. There are some display issues but it can be done.

To set a route I have to know their timetables. How am I supposed to know their timetables if there isn't a berth for me to click on and bring up the Show Timetable window?

1. From St. Philips Marsh HST TM line B, there is only one place the incoming train can go, so you can interpose the headcode at signal 345 (where the shed road merges on to the down main) and set a route from 635 to 435, all without really knowing where the train is going next.


2. After you've learned the map, you eventually figure out that 5Axx and 5Cxx headcodes entering at the TMD are ECS moves to Bristol TM, and terminating 1Cxx services at Bristol sometimes become 5Cxx ECS moves back to the TMD.

I meant defining the day & time, not just the start time. Can this be done?
