Activities should be added as follows, in the order shown: 1Z00 DR: 1Z01, J: 1Z02, N:1Z03 1Z02 J: 1Z00 1Z00 and 1Z03 to have '6 car' selected as train type, 1Z01 and 1Z02 '3 car'. That's how I'd do it, other solutions exist. "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now."

It's better if you put the N: on the last train to arrive, so in this case 1Z02

I agree with Steamers suggestion. Its the one that makes the most sense with the least amount of work. And Noels edit is a good idea too so both sides of the join show which train is next. That way, a user can look at either trains TT to know what train is next. Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Stanyon |

" said:Note that while this will work fine when you run the timetable, the Analyser tool will flag it as an error because it "sees" two trains having the same train as a next working, and also both trains with activities after the join.

I'd go with: 1Z00 DR: 1Z01, J: 1Z02 1Z02 J: 1Z00, N:1Z03 That way the 'N' against 1Z02 should feed through into ARS / ACI as well as keeping a clue as to what happens available on screen. The remains of 1Z00 will say 'waiting for 1Z02' and the user has a 1Z02 to join 1Z00, although the TD might be blank depending on the sim / TC layout if 1Z02 takes out the only TD.
