    So there is a scenario 'Day of the Dispatcher' on the Riviera line.

    Now i do wonder how this is IRL.
    Isn't it usually the guard of the train that gives the go signal? Is that a separate job in the UK?

    To dispatch the train, you have to blow a whistle, would it not be easier to use space bar instead of going to a location on the platform to a marker that you have to click?

    Dispatch is by platform staff at manned stations in the UK, I believe. (I know someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

    Liam had to use scripting for the dispatching and a marker for the dispatch corridor, hence why you dispatch on mouse click, I believe, but he can correct me on that if I am again wrong :)
