Does it not take into account class 166 only run up to 90mph for Services ? as I’ve held that speed since just leaving reading and now about 4 miles away from slough and late.
Due to the updated physics of the 166 which makes it slow to accelerate and the timetable being ai generated I believe (I could be totally wrong, could have been manually inputted, idk), it ends in being late to stations. I've done a couple runs and sometimes it's hard to stay on time. I think the timetable still relies on the old 166 version. If you change the physics greatly, it can affect timings depending on if it's ai generated or manually inputted
The game doesn't take anything into account. The "scores" are set by whoever makes the timetable, and if any changes are made after the timetable is set then this can affect things like being able to keep to timings. Also, on UK routes especially the HUD shows the line speed, and the VMAX of the train itself isn't marked at all, so even if IRL the class 166 would be limited to 90, in game it could go higher than this if the line speed allows
