passenger loading rate, train spacing – Train Fever /forums/topic/passenger-loading-rate-train-spacing/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:43:14 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/passenger-loading-rate-train-spacing/#post-7249 <![CDATA[passenger loading rate, train spacing]]> /forums/topic/passenger-loading-rate-train-spacing/#post-7249 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 09:51:59 +0000 morty-train Why do longer passenger train take longer to load/unload, each carriage has a door onto the platform, ten carriages  should fill as quick as one. In real life in uk mainline trains are only stopped for a couple of mins at through stations.

This seems to be one of the factors influencing train spacing problems on my mainline. The train with the biggest spacing between trains has more passengers to pick up. This takes longer allowing the train behind to catch up. It has fewer passengers to pick up, so catches up more each time.

Ive increased the block spacing on my lines but it only helps a bit, not uncommon fot 6 trains to be heading north with none south bound on long lines.

Maybe the devs will look at this in an upcoming patch
