there are some helpful secret functions in BAHN: in addition to the auto-stop time, under
Options -> File Options -> Automated saving of layout files you can set BAHN to automatically save the file at midnight, so that you don’t have to go back too far. But remember to save at least one network file somewhere else, in case you don’t have enough NT2 files afterward.
The network diagram speaks mostly for itself. Lines across borders are mostly the connections we talked about earlier, or suggestions (like the IC10 to Oban along the Grand Trunk.
Just in case you didn’t read the whole thread all the way back: IC2 and IR2 to Oban are prepared for a split in the middle (similar to IC1 and IR1 in Torkham); it has two bistro cars and two 1st class sections (just like IC1/IR1 and IC4/IR4). You can split it and continue to two different destinations.
The blue/greyish lines are freight corridors, the letters indicate the corridors, not lines. In the west there is space for a freight connection into Inverfyne. There are 2 options here: along the coast or parallel to the high speed line.
I’d prefer to send freight along the existing, old line(s); not the high-speed line.
@Sacha:
As your supply lines of lowercase s seems to have some issues, here are some: s s s s
in the network file I also made a suggestion for the border at Torkham with the aid of some trees. Most of the city's existing infrastructure will be yours, with the exception of the northwest corner. I was planning on a bypass anyway (see the sketch I send before), but this combines a few options. Goods trains from the west to the north or north east (or the other way round) can bypass the busy Torkham Central and Inverlochy area.
I already built a goods bypass line around the northwestern quarter of the city, complete with a big mess of lines at Inverlochy that specifically includes grade-separated connections between all directions.

OTOH, it wouldn’t be the first
railway line built to circumvent a city in another, now friendly, country.
Since these station are very busy it also gives the opportunity for a "Torkham North" train stop for the RE5, local services from Widgeon and maybe a Torkham S-bahn service(?). The RE5 can continue to Inverlochy if there is space there, or pass by further north.
Ahh, the Torkham regional trains … the “big meeting” is every hour :15 and :45, and all trains are supposed to arrive shortly before and leave shortly after (except IC1/11/12, where it didn’t work out).
T10 to south (Kingshouse via Glencoe) is planned to leave
Torkham Central :20 and :50, with departure at Inverlochy somewhat earlier, arrival from south is planned to be :10 and :40
T12 to north (Farris via Traversham) is planned to leave
Torkham Central :20 and :50, with departure at Glencoe somewhat earlier, arrival from north is planned to be :10 and :40
T13 to northeast (Willey via Woncaster) is planned to leave
Torkham Central :00 and :30, with departure at Glencoe somewhat earlier, arrival from north is planned to be :00 and :30
If you put the puzzle together, you get a 10min-interval from Inverlochy to Glencoe:
Code: Alles auswählen
Torkham Central southbound
:00 T13 -> northeast -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe (feeding passengers to IRs and other trains)
:10 T12 -> north - - -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe (feeding passengers)
:15 “all trains meet”
:20 T10 -> - - - - - -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe -> Kingshouse (collecting passengers from IRs and other trains)
:30 T13 -> northeast -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe (feeding passengers to IRs)
:40 T12 -> north - - -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe (feeding passengers)
:45 “all trains meet”
:50 T10 -> - - - - - -> Inverlochy -> Glencoe -> Kingshouse (collecting passengers from IRs)
Current timings of these routes are completely different (I need to change that ASAP). Stopping pattern north of Inverlochy, northern termini and route numbers of T12 and T13 are up to you; after all, these are just your regional trains through-routed to the other end of Torkham. (And of course, passengers are free to go wherever they want in Torkham, they are not required to change to an IR

)
The same is planned for the east-west routes
T11,
T14 and a not-yet-existing
T??, with a 10min-interval from the nameless terminus in the west (marked by a big question mark) to Inverlochy. The T10/12/13 and the T11/14/?? bundles together form a 5min interval from Druimarbin to Inverlochy. And once again, T11 and T14 are just regional trains from east and west, through-routed to the other end of Torkham; so outer termini and route numbers …

For easier digestion, a created a crude map:
Torkham-regionals-cropped.png
T11 northwest – ? – Inverlochy (parallel to IC/IR11)†
T?? west – ? – Inverlochy (parallel to IZYs)†
T14 ? – Inverlochy – east (parallel to IR24)†
† - route number to be determined by the affected neighbours
ET ? – Exhibition Centre – to southeast ‡
T15 Fochabers – from southwest – ? – Exhibition Centre
‡ - final route number not yet decided

an underground NW<->SE trunk (subway), not shown on map
All this assumes one half-hourly local route and one half-hourly faster route (IC or IR) on each line (except IC/IR11 and IC/IR234, which are a fast and a faster route in addition to the all-stop local).
