Yes, the percentage reflects the chance that the train will stop at that particular location.

100% which is the default means it will always stop.

As I'm sure you're aware, some trains in realiaty are request stops so trains dont call there if there is no one waiting to either board or alight the train. Some lines I can think of in realiaty with this is a couple stops on the Exmouth Branch, most stations along the Barnstaple line, the Heart of Wales (Or is it Central Wales), Ffestinnog brach etc.

Basically speaking, how often would you like the train to call at the station, 100% is always, 0% never (or at least rairly).

Now I see what we're on about, so there to do with request stops for passenger services.. But could freight use this so if there wasn't anything behind it for miles miles instead of looping it at lets say Eden Valley instead it can pass it?

It's not designed for what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks for that Karl, I haven't yet used but would come in handy for other sims.

This can be done already. Let's assume a recess on the loop at Dawlish Warren you need to tick the pass box and it will show like

Dawlish Warren 0730 07/47

This means you can loop the train or allow it to continue without getting a wrong route warning

That doesn't work if the location is a goods loop that doesn't auto step up on the mainline, or causes a wrong route call if given the mainline route.

OK, but in the timetables I've created it has always worked.

What do you mean by "auto step up?" It's not a phrase I'm familiar with.

If the sim is setup to force the timetable to advance passed the goods loop stop if it uses the mainline.

Without having Simsig infront of me, I would say that what you have put in the photo says that the crew will arrive at 4 minutes 3 seconds past midnight. If you want crew to arrive at 3 minutes past 4am then 04:03:00 would be what I would assume to be correct
