Plan a busy shared track
Set a higher priority for a service you want to take precedence when two services need the same track. To reroute a busy line, open the Line Manager and select a place where the line should pass through.
All services start at normal priority. Lower-priority trains wait at red signals when a higher-priority service takes precedence, while higher-priority trains can reserve track farther ahead.
Signals use path-based reservations: a signal turns green when an approaching train can reserve its intended route up to the next signal.
Questions about routes and signals
- How does priority change signal behavior?
- When services compete for the same track, a higher-priority service can take precedence and lower-priority trains wait at red signals. Higher priority also extends track reservation distance. A signal turns green when the approaching train can reserve its route up to the next signal.
- How do I choose a waypoint for a line?
- Open the Line Manager and select the place where the line should pass through. You do not need to construct a waypoint sign first.
