From a timetable writers perspective is there any way of adding a box under the train description box where one types in the details of the train being timetabled e.g. '1S85 0720 SX Harwich Parkeston Quay - Glasgow Central (Cl.47/4)' so one can add the 'train name' if required. Whilst writing the Carlisle 1979-1980 timetable not only is there a myriad of 'named trains' that run, but I have also noticed that not all of the information for said train is shown to the user when he clicks on the head code of the train, possibly due to a limit on the number of characters the program is set to display. In the example above that train was called 'The European', so in future you would get the train name listed below the train description if the head code of a train was selected. Whereas at present you have to add it at the end of the train description & as a result either doesn't get seen or some of it does depending how many characters have been displayed within the train description field.

just to add, maybe its possible to have: description: which is general description title/type: eg a name for a named train, or Motorail, COY, Freightliner, Mail, Postal, MGR, Sleeper Consist: a free format style for TT creator to input what its made of, plus an (optional) length so the display would have three lines eg: 1S47 10:45 EWD Glasgow Central - Euston "The Royal Scot" Cl.81-87+BG+7Mk3s or 6E20 09:20 New Cumnock - Cottam P.S. (this line would be empty as no type or name applies) DBS Cl.66+ 23 HTAs or 4S57 18:50 Parkeston C.T. - Coatbridge C.T Freightliner DBS Cl.66+20 Flats "We don't stop camborne wednesdays" Last edited: 31/10/2012 at 22:45 by jc92 Log in to reply |

It isn't easy to do this in the current timetable format but it could be done for the next major version. It would perhaps simply be better as a multi-line free-form text box. So you'd have the ID, a short one-line Description (as per now), then the new multi-line field.
