Transport Tycoon Forums

Hi, my network is a mess...
especially around Wunnwell
and sometimes trains are getting lost
and there is/was also a bottleneck somewhere
anyone interested in cleaning up my mess?
I haven't got that many trains running yet,
mainly specialised in non-passenger-stuff

other tips and hints are also welcome

Thanx

Example of things that happen but I don't like them to happen:
The livestock train isn't supposed to go past wunwell anexe, but to either the farm or either the big station...

First; include what version of the game you're using if you want people to load a save game. Even more so if you're using an unofficial version like the MiniIN, and especially when theres not much hint in the pic that thats what it is.

- With breakdowns on, no forced servicing, and depots all over the place, your trains are getting lost either trying to get to a depot, or from not being able to turn around after entering one. Add a depot to the orders list, or put a depot where trains have to enter it (ie. remove the straight piece of track infront of it), to make sure they never go looking for one on their own.

- That merge then split at the waypoint is really bad (see first SS). You dont need that waypoint; infact, only 2 trains were using it anyway.
- Wunwell Annexe platform needs to be longer (platforms shorter than trains cause them to take ages to load); those passanger trains are taking months at that station.
- You need to change either the orders, or the station access for Upper Wunwell. Although, fixing the platform from the point above will help, its still the sort of situation you want to avoid (express train wanting to bypass a single platform station which is used by stopping trains).

You'll also need to add a way for your passanger trains to get to the inside track once they've done a full circuit (where the oil trains are in the first pic).
