    Why is it when complete a yard move mainly US routes if you finish earlier it makes you wait out the time given I got wait 9mins for it to end alright I done a bit off speeding but 3mph is so slow.

    Because that's how it's been programmed to ensure things move the way they are supposed to

    If you're finished early, its obviously going to make you wait.

    I don't think it should make you wait. I think it should instead say you are done, and just make the train wait that extra time for the next service without you. I did a freight run on ECML and had to wait 40 minutes at the end (so I cleaned some things while waiting).

    Some older services actually do this, but I think more recent routes make you wait.

    I usually play switching timetables by the book first no speeding etc to get the gold or platinum medal ..then after that if i play them i go faster maybe 2 to 4 miles over the speed to complete faster especially if the yard speed is super slow like 5 or 10 mph..

    The amtrack on boston going round that balloon is painfully slow but atleast on boston when you finish the job it ends (I speed doing them ) unlike new york trenton if you finish early you got wait your time limit is up
