I've running Stafford Simulation quietly with a 2015 timetable, I've set the sim up as Delays in Crewe and scenario as One of Those Days, I would like to make trains a little more late that what the sim is current having them so I into F3 - Failures I went and moved the Train Delay Probability and Train Delay Amount from around the medium to the far right high zone. I would expect that most trains would be 15-20+ more mins late. Yet under F8 Simplifier for Stafford and Colwich many of the trains are between 0-20 late with 6K02 over 100+ Late and some early trains. Is there an actual setting or recommendation so that I could have late trains 20+ Late example?    Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Aaron (AJRO) | Timetable Writer Log in to reply |

What does every setting relate to?

As I'm confused between these two settings in F3-Failures area Train Delay Probability and Train Delay Amount which do both need to be high or is one needed to be high like Train Delay Probability? I know what the other settings are but these two are confusing.

Train Delay Amount, is how long a train will be delayed for, the higher the slider, the longer the delay.

Thank you Headshot, So if I ran a scenario and I want trains late entering the sim I would use Train Delay Probability and set it to high which as you say delay trains. Train Delay Amount would when trains are stationary at a station? and then be further delayed?

Amount is how long the delays will be.

Looking at the original post I would point out that it is a probability of late running, not a guarantee. When I have set things up like you did I have always had a mix of very late running through to the inevitable early arrival of a freight train or two - usually in just the wrong relative position for a delayed express (going west from Newbury for example). I guess it is in fact very much like what happens in real life. Even on a really bad day some trains will slip through close to time.

I'm referring myself back to this post to re-adjust my brain slightly... I would like quiet a lot of late running trains in a particular scenario 'one of those days' with 'delays in Crewe'.. I also adjusted Train Delay Probability to high pretty much in hope trains will be late but only a handful are late 20+, the rest between 5 and 15 late. Have I done this wrong or do I just need to keep messing with it? I did tried this recently on a Motherwell Host I set Train Delay Probability to in between Medium-High and had a delightful list of every train 15+ late with some over and hour 60+ late. I'm just wondering if the Stafford sim won't allow so many late services. One for the wish list - A scenario purely for late running trains set at 20+ Late variable on each train??
