Hello, I was studying the timetable file supplied with the latest version of Stafford and noticed something which seemed to be a bit of an inconsistency If a train enters at one of the southern entry points (say, Bushbury Jn) and travels through the sim in the down direction, each timing point has three flags to say that the train is a down train (before it passes, as it passes and after it passes, as far as I can tell). However if a train is seeded somewhere along the same route, travels through the sim in the down direction and exits at the same location, none of those flags are present. An example in the default Stafford timetable is 4S88. Essentially, what I'm asking is: is this a bug or a feature? And is it sim-dependant or does it apply to all Loader sims? Log in to reply |

(Indeed, I thought it wasn't. Or are you reading the raw XML?) It's synthesised as the sim runs, and the values in the timetable file are ignored. Log in to reply |

I should have explained, I'm reading the XML. I'm writing a timetable formatter which is intended to be sim-agnostic, and therefore those flags are very useful in deducing the network topology from the timetable contents. Log in to reply |
