I have being finding it impossible to keep to the timetable. By the first stop you can be several minutes late. Because you can't keep to time, you end up only achieving a silver medal. After running late on service R1421, I decided to ride it as a passenger, the AI wasn't able to keep to the time table either. It feels like the timings are based on as the crow flies and not track distance. R1421 AI timings L/G 08:23 - 08:29 SPM 08:31 - 08:38 LAN 08:38 - 08:50 LIT 08:45 - 08:57 Arosa 09:08 - 0912
The timetable is not how the crow flies its unaccurate as mentioned before in other threads... Hopefully this will be fixed in a upcoming patch.
Yes this Route has convinced me not to worry too much about times, scores and medals - it simply finishes what Bakerloo and Trans-Pennine started!
