Train Describer Mode's Delay Option 21/11/2010 at 17:29 #2031

I've played Peterborough a few times and only today have realised there was a cool option to have a colour filled box around the headcodes depending on the actions of the service, for example Early Services are Light Blue, On Time Services are Green, Late Running Services are Yellow etc....

Now I have a two part query in respect to this which is:

1. How and Is it possible to change the options of the colours, also the times so a train running 0 to 5 minutes would be classed as on time, 5 to 10 minutes as late and 10+ minutes as very late with priority given where possible to the service.

2. This might be asking too much but this option would be nice to have on the scrolly sims, is it possible to do?

1. No
2. I haven't checked all, but as I know the answer is no.

If you're talking about having a scrolly sim with the headcodes being coloured according to the trains status then try running Edinburgh with ARS areas

Note though that AFAIK this feature would likely only feature on simulations with ARS as having it on a simulation without ARS is likely to be unrealistic.

It is a function in the ARS module and as such replicates the real thing including, I presume, the delay times and is not able to be user modified
