No I don't get it - I have read on this website about 'feeders' but I can't get them to work -

1. I have put a bus stop next to a rail station and instructed a but to unload passengers at it - but it makes no difference to the number of passengers waiting

2. I have tried to move goods to lorry stations next to rail stations - and they won't accept the goods because they are not next to the industry.

What am I doing wrong?

More info would be helpful, usually under the 'Orders-Unload' window, you'll have a choice of:
1) Unload if accepted
2) Unload all
3) Transfer
4) No unloading

You need to choose option 3, which is to transfer. Then go to the 'Orders-Load' window and choose Option 4 -- No loading.

So that your orders would read --> Great Laughinghead (Transfer and no loading)

That is just too bad. Download the latest version I guess.

Two5Kid: Pay attention to where you're posting. The latest version of Transport Tycoon has only "Load" and "Unload".

Oops didn't know that his thread was in TTD. Silly me. Open TTD would have more load choices. :oops: :P
