Hi, A suggest : before launch a timetable run, the preparation time is correct if we don't use advanced security mechanism. But if we would a good prepare with lzb, aws, vacma etc, delay is too short. My suggestion is : add a time delay specify at launch screen.
what i usually do is find out what service i want to do and then go on foot 5 minutes before it departs to start up the train
Now that's a clever idea I wish I thought of! I usually just load in, figure out what needs doing, then restart the journey and do it all as quick as I can while I'm loading the passengers! But this sounds a lot more reasonable. And less stressful...
