So I really want to create a Timetable with an as it happened feel. Trains will enter late as they did on a selected day, TSRs and ESRs will be recreated. I’d like all the trains to enter exactly as they did on a particular day, my thought on this were to use the delay field on the incident control panel within the Edit Timetable feature. After SEVERAL HOURS of entering delays as they happened I saved the TT and then came to the realisation that this delay field does not save onto the TT and will be lost upon exiting!! Such a shame and waste of time but I thought I would reach out and ask, Is there another way around this? Ive thought about the following, if a train is due to enter ‘A’ at 08:00 and then Pass ‘B’ at 08:05 and in the real world it entered 6 late, could I just change the time entered at ‘A’ to 08:06 and keep ‘B’ at 08:05? I’m not really fussed about getting a TT error as long as it’s playable. The only drawback to the above is that a train would still show as entering On Time (similar to a delayed train from a chain entering ‘on time’ even if late) and only showing the delay at the next timing point. Not ideal. Is it just not within the realms of possibility due to the way the editor is written to allow trains to enter late as specified by a user? Such a shame if so. Log in to reply |

It will work perfectly fine but the analyser will produce an error that the subsequent time is earlier.

Can you do this by having a rule for each train? Have a dummy train DUMY that enters at 00:00. Then if 1A23 entered at 08:23 on the day, have a rule "1A23 must appear 503 minutes after DUMY enters the area". Obviously if your timetable starts at a different time then the offset is different.

Thanks Clive, that may work but im trying to edit an already large TT with a lot of data, that would quadruple my work i think! Most trains are entering late so would have to create a rule for an awful lot of trains.

Could try changing the entry time by x mins later, and then using the 'adjust times' by the same value on the 1st location - this will also adjust all the subsequent timings by the same amount.
