From the Upload area instructions

When uploading a new timetable please ensure the title of both the zip and the timetable means something to the user and add a few sentences "selling" the timetable;

* unique and meaningful title
* with a brief description;
* whether real (with date) or fictional;
* whether any era option is required;
* the Sim version number it was written on (if known);
* Author's name (credits etc. can go in the timetable's internal notes).

Example of upload naming structure: Edinburgh 1985_v2 (v3.238) :

This is in the format [Sim Name] + [indication of what the Timetable does and version number] + [Sim build used]

* When uploading there is an option to enter a 'short description' note that you MUST first uncheck the auto-generate flag or the description will not appear with the upload. A Forum bug has been reported on this.;
* Please avoid "personalising" the notes with comments such as "This is my first attempt". Remember the timetable will sit in the download area for years so what you say needs to be as relevant then as it is now.

Also, if you amend a timetable then change the version number. I.e. Kings Cross 25 December 2011 Vn where n is the iteration number.
