And lastly, the trains will be served in the order that they arrive in. Third, one of the waiting trains will enter the station as soon as a platform is free, without having to complete a loop because it already is waiting at the station entrance. Also, even if the station is full, at least one more train will not have to use it, only if two or more trains are waiting will it be used. First, the trains only have to use it once before lining up at signal 6 and don't continue to loop until a platform is available. This has a few advantages over a regular overflow loop. If you put a one-way signal before signal 5, it will be a pre-signal.Signal 6 has to be a one-way signal, as does signal 1.Otherwise trains will be able to take the shortcut even though they should line up at the end of route (b). I recommend the above setup (connecting before signal 1) because that way all trains will use the overflow if it is in use. Route (b) can either cut into route (a) before signal 1, or lead directly into the station.Signals 5 have to be two-way, or all trains will want to use route (a).Signal 1 is the pre-signal leading into the station.It should have a few one-way signals 7 along the way to allow several trains to line up. If there is already a train waiting, other trains will take route (b) and line up at signal 6. Make sure that your longest train will fit entirely on (a) to make this work. Here, (a) is the usual way to the station, and it's used if there's no train waiting. These improved overflow loops are useful at the entrance of a busy station, where you need to prevent traffic backup into the main line. have some of the platforms go through and others end. You can even combine both types of stations, i.e. Here, the same conditions apply as in the previous case, and there can also be more than one of signals 1 and 3. This very compact layout of a station is often useful in a city, where there is not enough space for a full roro station. To repair a signal stuck at red, you'll have to modify its pre-signal setup with the Ctrl key, or remove and replace it. Those signals will not be converted to exits, so the pre-signal will not consider them when deciding to go green. If conditions two and three are only met for part of the signals, it will work neither as it should, nor as it did before pre-signals. You don't have to follow the actual track layout, it can go in any direction you like.There can be more than one of signal 4 (or none, or a two-way).All of signals 3 must be one-way signals leading out of the stationĪlso, even though not shown in the figure,.All of signals 2 must be two-way signals.Signal 1 must be a one-way signal leading into the station.Note that if you convert it manually, it will work like you might expect. The following conditions have to be met for this to qualify for automatic conversion. Finally, signal 4 terminates the exit block. Signals 3 are those letting the trains out of the station. Signal 1 is the pre-signal, and only go green if any of the exit signals 2 are green. There are four sets of signals involved, labelled 1 to 4. Such a station should be built like this: The travel time is roughly a half-hour to Cadorna and 45 minutes to Centrale.(sometimes called "roro" or roll on/roll off station) ![]() The Malpensa Express connects Milan's Malpensa Airport with two train stations in the city center-Centrale and Cadorna. In the Milan metropolitan area, Trenord's suburban trains-the S lines-connect suburbs such as Rho, Novara, Varese, and Lodi with central Milan. These regional trains-the R lines- run from 6 a.m. Trenord serves cities such as Bergamo, Brescia, Cremona, Lecco, Pavia, and Milan, and even goes so far as Piacenza in Emilia-Romagna and Verona in the Veneto. The company also manages a dozen suburban lines of essentially commuter trains in the metropolitan area around Milan, and the Malpensa Express trains that connect Milan with the main airport. ![]() Most of Trenord's train routes are regional lines, connecting cities and towns throughout Lombardy. Trenord trains serve primarily destinations in Lombardy-including Milan's Malpensa Airport. Trenord is the company that resulted from a merger between the state-run Trenitalia and a rail company in the Lombardy region.
