Dispatching Process

Template:Missing Info

Dispatching Extras

• If your train stopped past the signal ahead and turned it red, but it was green before arrival, you are clear to dispatch the train.
• If your train went past a red signal upon arrival and SPADed, you are clear to dispatch the train.
• If there is a train that came after the SPADing train, you must dispatch the SPADing train first.
• You should really dispatch late trains first, no matter if they are the 2nd to come in or not.

Stations you can Dispatch

• Stepford Central
• St. Helen's Bridge
• Coxly
• Benton
• Port Benton
• Newry
• Leighton Stepford Road
• Stepford Airport Central
• Stepford Airport Parkway
• Stepford Victoria (Not confirmed at the moment.)

Avoiding Demotion

• You cannot use gantries as a shortcut to switch platforms. Doing so can get you in a lot of trouble.
• Although it is a common practice, dispatching at the signal ahead or banner repeater (angled repeater = yellow or green signal, horizontal repeater = red signal) is not part of the procedure to dispatch trains; you are required to follow the procedure at all times.
• Trackwalking is strictly prohibited, so is the aforementioned "Crossing using the Gantries". The "Shift to Sprint" system is there for a reason.
• If you dispatch ANYWHERE BUT THE MIDDLE-END OF THE TRAIN, you will be in trouble. If you are Dispatching a 3 or 5 car train, you need to stand in the center of the middle car. for 2 and 4 car trains, it is simple, stand in the middle carriage separator.
