What do fellow signallers and others think of the idea that a time table could rollover to the next 24 hours by in efect restarting at midnight.
The greatest problem for the simulation I suspect would be trains already in the area, in effect there would be two timetables running at the same time until the last of the'old trains' expired out of the area.

it already can by using 24:00 25:00 etc, and there are timetables that have been formatted like this. the introduction of good quality seeding has reduced the need for rolling over to a new day. its just as easy to start a new TT for the next day with the seeds already in.

I suppose, as an extreme solution, one could take a TT and edit it in such a way that you add four copies of itself onto the end, thus creating a 5-day TT.

But you would then have to add 24 hours to ALL times on "Tuesday", 48 hours to ALL the times for Wednesday, and so on. It's not very practical is it?

It's a lot easier with ConvData. You convert the timetable to text with relative timings, then run an editor and insert "+24:00" at the relevant places. Then convert back.

In the longer term is there any prospect of the core code being able to rollover from 23:59 to 00:00 rather than 24:00?
