A line is a sequence of one or more stops with some associated data like fares and line duration. Trains can follow lines by setting them to auto run mode or by creating orders.

Line overview

The Line overview is a list of all lines. The way the lines are sorted and displayed can be changed at the top. The map icon only shows all lines that are currently visible on the map. The second button opens a menu with the following grouping options:

  • Group by: All lines (shows all lines)
  • Group by: Tags (shows all lines in the way your tags are build up and assigned)
  • Group by: Untagged (shows all lines that have no tags)

There are also options to exclude lines from being displayed in the overview:

  • Closed
  • Technical
  • Open
  • With warnings

Additionally there is also an option to make the lines more compact.

At the bottom are six buttons that are from left to right:

  • Create a new line
  • Create a new depot line (creates a new line, which is already set to technical maneuvers)
  • Clone selected line
  • Issue an intervention to all trains currently running the selected line
  • Delete selected line
  • Pan and zoom view when selecting a line or station

Line Settings

You can access the line settings by selecting a line. A window to the right of the line overview will appear.

Stops

The stops tab gives you access to the basic line settings and has an overview of all the stops assigned to the line with their settings.

Basics

  • Name (the name of the line)
  • Code (the line code, which is displayed in several places instead of the line name, e.g. on the train icon, the platform overview, ...)
  • Base ticket price (price that will be payed once by every pax boarding the train)
  • Price per km (price that will be payed by pax for every km they're on the train, will be added to the base ticket price)
  • Color (color that will be used on the map and the line overview)
  • Display on Map (sets if and how the line is displayed)
  • Service level

Tags

Expands a panel where you can assign tags to the line, useful to change the behaviour at specific signals.

Default timings

  • Reference train
  • Cruise speed (km/h) (By default set to 90% of the maximum speed of the reference train, can be changed to a manual cruise speed. Trains will run faster than the set cruise speed to make up for delays.)
  • Max. acceleration (m/s2)
  • Max. breaking (m/s2)
  • Default stop time (stop time that will be assigned to every stop, when not changed manually)
  • Line duration (appears if certain line duration options are selected)
  • (Period)
  • (Custom Period)
  • (Custom)
  • Extra stop time on (Padding time which will be added to reach the assigned line duration. Two different modes: Either evenly split on all stops or evenly split an manually marked stops)

Auto run line

  • First train departure
  • Timezone
  • (Custom time zone)
  • Launch trains
  • Auto interval
  • Manual interval

Stop overview

Timetable

Shows you a timetable for one day with all the trains that have an assigned order on that line on the selected day. When hovering over the timetable you can see all the orders and stops, assigned trains will service, By default, the timetable is set to the current day and time, but there are two arrows at the top right to switch between the different days of the week. There are two buttons at the bottom right to zoom in and out.

State

Accounting

Shows you all the accounting data of your line. The following data is collected and displayed:
