Currently you can request a driver to call you back after 2, 5 or 15 minutes. Would it be possible for an enhancement whereby drivers can be requested to call back at a specific time? Log in to reply |

This would be great. I've noticed at Tyneside there isn't usually an option to "wait until booked time of xxxx". The phone rings off the hook with freights calling being held intentionally. Every time you move them to the next holding point they call back again. Very time consuming.

" said:I've noticed at Tyneside there isn't usually an option to "wait until booked time of xxxx". The phone rings off the hook with freights calling being held intentionally. Every time you move them to the next holding point they call back again. Very time consuming.You get the 'Ring back at booked xx:xx' option when the train is timetabled to stop at the location. The Tyneside TT tends to mark loops as a passing time, so you won't get that option unless you edit the TT and change the passing time to a normal stop. The advantage of passing times is that the train will keep moving with no need for intervention if you decide not to loop it, the downside is that you don't get the extra call back option.

" said:" said:I've got a feeling that on some simulations, Motherwell comes to mind, that freights booked to call at a loop will continue without intervention if you keep them on the main line. It is only if you loop them that the departure time comes into play.
