Hi all,
I notice that at most stations, especially termini, dispatchers will give the TRTS much earlier, up to three minutes before departure time, rather than the 40 seconds - a minute that SimSig does

Is this something that could be implemented or could be changed?

Thanks

There's an open ticket on Mantis to look at varying TRTS, unfortunately there's not a one size fits all approach to when would be realistic to everywhere, so it's hard to come up with a perfect solution.

Hi Karl,

It’d be nice to have a degree of fuzziness on the plungers, I don’t think dispatchers have accuracy to the second IRL :)

Thanks

It could be a user setting perhaps?

If variable TRTS is introduced, will the Crewe sim come with the real life TRTS *after* departure time?

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Due to the large number of things a train is doing at a station before departure, which includes things like not actually departing, it's very difficult to extend the TRTS beyond one minute.

is it possible to set a default value (lets say 1 minute) and then make TRTS a developer input value for each location which replaces the default if entered.

in terms of rules/decisions and crew changes, presumably TRTS can be made to fire once all these are complete AND the train is within the 1 minute window (or dev input value), which would cause it to be given "late" in some cases, but that's a fair compromise for an overall more accurate experience the other 99% of the time?

As for it not departing due to a delay, it wouldn't be the first time that's happened on the real thing.

Is there an inbuilt delay added to TRTS for trains at terminal stations that arrive late, therefore would not be ready to start on time?

Yes, TRTS will only be given when all relevant activities, rules and dwell times have been completed.

Except that as noted in Mantis 31269 - dwell times are not being used as intended.
Something went wrong with default dwell times in the distant past.
