Trivia[]
- All depots and sidings use a special type of signal called shunt signals, which only displays either Danger or Proceed. The major difference from normal signals is that it only has two aspects instead of three or four.
- Normal signals formerly existed at depots and sidings, until shunt signals replaced them from v1.4.1 onwards, starting with Faymere Green TMD.
- All former depots and sidings belong to Stepford Connect.
- Currently, trains cannot return to depot once they have reached a terminus. Instead, the trains despawn at the terminus or turn around to begin another route. According to the roadmap, trains will be allowed to return to depots in the future.
- During the developer Q&A on the 23rd October 2021, then-Managing Director Charlie_RBX stated that there was still much work needed for this to happen. For instance, most depots currently do not have tracks for returning[note 1], and some depots' designs or track layout are simply too hard to be modified for returning[note 2], so not all depots may be designated for despawning when this feature is out. Also, changes regarding to the signalling system and train schedules are also involved to avoid disruption to other services.
Notes[]
- ↑ As of Version 1.10, most depots/sidings have been updated/modified with tracks for returning, examples being: Newry Siding, Faraday Road TMD, Farleigh TMD. Some depots also have an extra lane going into the depot in the signalling interface.
- ↑ For example, Northshore Depot is on the left side of 2 eastbound tracks and close to Northshore station, this means westbound tracks will have to cross over 2 eastbound tracks and a station in order to reach Northshore Depot.
