When I get a train delayed at a station for a period of time, for whatever reason, I can bypass this by reversing said train and then a second later reversing again so that it stops again at the station. Soon after, if it is now (or when it will be) due to depart, the train will continue on its merry way as if the delay never happened. Is this an intentional loophole?

:huh: :pinch: Shhhhh...don't tell the developers! :whistle: Yes it is possible to get around it by doing this, but it's certainly not realistic. Since you've blabbed about this one, might as well add that it is also possible to get around it by stepping the timetable up.

the same loophole exists if you have wrong-routed a train, get him to reverse before he stops, then you can pull the route without an ACOA or a wrong-route penalty!

There are lots of ways of cheating. Whether you use them is dependent on how "honest" you want to be.

One "loophole" that is a genuine issue is where a delayed train changes TD- e.g. 1A01 terminates with a technical fault which has miraculously cured when it becomes 1B01. It has been raised as a bug, not sure if it's been looked yet at without checking back. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

" said:" said:Clearly they've hit said loco with a hammer a few times, or kicked it a bit, and it's decided to play nicely. I often find on Preserved Railways the fitter merely has to emerge from the shed with a giant spanner, look at the loco, then go back to the shed and all is mysteriously well...One "loophole" that is a genuine issue is where a delayed train changes TD- e.g. 1A01 terminates with a technical fault which has miraculously cured when it becomes 1B01.
