Something that I tend to see happen a lot at rail stations (especially major ones) is a train arriving on time and then leaving a few minutes late as something (or someone) has resulted in the dwell time being longer than normal. What could be a new feature for SimSig is trains having a small delay of a couple of minutes at a station but the signaller isn't informed? An example being overcrowding after an event (or in general) means that it takes longer for people to get on or off and could potentially be holding the doors open resulting in the dispatch taking longer than normal but if these aren't announced then the reasoning doesn't really matter. This could make SimSig that little bit more interesting/harder as if you had routed a train out and it doesn't leave until 2 minutes after you expected that could be the station locked up for two minutes if it's a major station like Leeds, as an example.

I put those into my timetables. I choose random trains, edit the timetable in question and use the dwell time tool. It then produces a time in the format 11w34.
