Station limit "shunt" moves and timeliness penalisations 30/09/2024 at 19:54 #158710

74 posts 		Just so we're clear I do not mean the shunt move option in the timetable editor.

Just a quick question: If I have, for example, a loco hauled train coming into a platform that I want to run round, once the loco is detached if I create a timetable with just the locations but no times (--:--:--) would a player be penalised for timeliness if the run-round as happening at like 10am?
Just so the user doesn't get a 10 hour delay penalty on the train! Pullman/bonus train is not ticked.
Or do I have to enter exact times on everything?

The alternative is to time it all out fully but have the initial departure and each reversal entered set to 'Stop and go' in the set-down options, so that the train won't wait for time if running early.

Just for the record. Stop and go isn't required for 00:00 timings (although it doesn't cause a problem). If you haven't already set them, you may want to ensure you have custom dwell times set for the loco so the crew take some time to change ends.
