Timetable problems

[hkuyeren]

First i was thinking that I understand how the timetable works. But now it not work anymore. What i did first:
1. I choice the first departure time
2. I choice manual interval
3. Extra stop time on: Manually picked stops
4. First stop "Custom duration wait in this stop"
Then the first departure time starts on the first stop and then with the interval time. But now the first stop don't get the first departure time anymore. How i can fixed that?

I think some of these options conflict with each other. You indicate the time of the first departure from the first stop (#1). However #4 tells NIMBY to extend the stop time at stop #1, which likely means past the first departure time you indicate. I would either uncheck "Custom duration wait in this stop" for the first stop, if you can. Alternatively keep the box checked, but make the additional time added in this stop to be 0:00:00. To do this, allocate time manually yourself among all stops. (I think this is the best practice anyway.) Then I think your first departure will happen right on schedule.

I find the mistake that I made. I forgot change the line duration to manual. Now it's working again.

Hmm another problem. I have line, the duration is 2:30h. But once in a day the duration is 4h, i don't know why.

Some screenshots
1) On 0:47 the running time is 4 hours.

2) The duration is 2:30h.

3) Here you can see also the ride from 0:47, 1:17, 1:47 etc is more longer.

You want the trains to do the same runs every day, but set a duration of 2:30:00. 24/2.5 = 9.6, so it is not possible to perfectly repeat your line runs in 24h. One run needs to be longer to fill 24h.

Possible fixes: round it up to 3h, switch to weekly auto duration + all stops wait for minimal impact, or use manual orders with a depot order so the train waits the extra time in a depot.

If you divide 24 hours into runs of 2 hours 30 minutes, you would get 9 runs and be left with 1 hour 30 minutes remaining. You starting time is around 5, so the last run that gets the extra time is the night run. The train will sit idle (it is called "padding wait") at one of the stations. To avoid this, make runs shorter or longer so that so there is no residual time left. For example, if you change your runs to 2 hours 40 minutes, you would get exactly 9 runs.

You can also achieve the same by going to F3/Lines>Default timings>Line duration>Fit for a period. Select "Day" or "Week" under Period. You can set the extra stop time either of the two options, depending on whether you want slightly longer stops at all stations, or just a longer stop at one or more stations you designate with "Custom duration wait at this stop".
