From depot to station

Now then , our MSTS crew are about to build th orange line there,

would I be accurate if, Shylon Quay was only open on the weekdays, and on weekends, the train comes out of the depot and just goes straight through.

Another is , can anyone tell me how all those lines from the depot just become one or two in the station?


The reason I ask is I want to get waland accurate information.


Thank you to those who reply.

Looking at your map. what is the point of the Yellow and Pink line, they just duplicate the Green and go nowhere, the Blue stops and the Yellow starts, it would be better to extend the Blue to the end.

As this is (I assume!) an entirely fictional network, then if your depot is at Shylon Quay, then indeed trains running to/from the depot would just run straight through that station when it was closed!

Your second point is slightly more complicated to explain in words! It depends on how many roads the depot has! Basically all of those roads need to fan into one or two 'reception' roads, where they will either enter the depot, or await the signal to enter the mainline from the depot.

If you have a look at the track diagram for Barking sidings on Dave's main site (Appropriate page here) it may give you some idea of how many sidings all fan into the main lines etc.

Hope this helps in some way!

With all due respect, I have spent 3 days on that map and alot of sleepless nights, I know it's not perfect but it's a achievement for me.

Everyone knows that the blue line is tube and the green line is SSR
