	A common usage example is a passenger service schedule : you need only to enter in the timetable the initial stop zone with its departure time, all the intermediate stops zone names with the expected arrival time (optional) and departure time and if the train has to reverse direction, and the final target destination stop zone with an optional arrival time. And with only two driver commands : first one to assign to the train the timetable to follow and the second one to autodrive following the assigned timetable, your train will run stopping at the intermediate stops encountered along its mission codes path and following the defined departure time.

And with only two driver commands : first one to assign to the train the timetable to follow and the second one to autodrive following the assigned timetable, your train will run stopping at the intermediate stops encountered along its mission codes path and following the defined departure time.

			==and now ...==

			Just try this new rules and driver commands and you will see how it is easy to define and follow a timetable schedule.

			EIT Demo route - UK 1 - Full session with MCTimetable ( <kuid:61392:8405> ) is an example session using EIT Demo route - UK 1 ( <kuid:61392:8401> ). Both will be available soon on DLS. And you can easily edit the session and look at how the rule and timetables were configured.

			Have some nice timetable schedule runs and let me know if you have any trouble using this new rule.

			Regards.

	Quite simple and easy. First you need to assign a timetable to the current train by using the SetMCTimeTable driver command (<kuid:61392:8330>). The driver command menu will propose you at first level all the timetable groups and at second level all the timetables in the selected group. After a timetable has been assigned to the train, you can use ~~AutoDrivewithMCTimeTable~~ driver command ( <kuid:61392:8322>) to start autodriving following the timetable schedule.

After a timetable has been assigned to the train, you can use AutoDriveWithMCTimeTable driver command ( <kuid:61392:8322>) to start autodriving following the timetable schedule.

			The AutoDriveWithMCTimeTable will request you select in its menu a target destination stop zone, and will start autodriving following the timetable schedule stops until it reaches the target stop zone destination. The target stop zone destination enables to follow only partly the timetable schedule from where your train is currently located until it reaches the target stop zone destination. While running, the driver command will detect any pathstop or trackmark belonging to a stop zone stop included in the schedule and will stop the train when reaching the pathstop or trackmark (taking care of the pathstop or trackmark properties like max vehicles or max train length). It will then wait for the departure time if the train is in advance on its timetable or will immediately leave if it is late with a minimum stop duration of 1 mn.

			A common usage example is a passenger service schedule : you need only to enter in the timetable the initial stop zone with its departure time, all the intermediate stops zone names with the expected arrival time (optional) and departure time and if the train has to reverse direction, and the final target destination stop zone with an optional arrival time.

			The timetable details page will give you all information about the selected timetable. First its name. clicking on it enables to rename the timetable.
			The group name enables to enter an arbitrary group name for the timetable. Timetable group names are usefull to filter timetables lists. If you click on [...] it will propose to enter the timetable in a mission code group name.

			Timetables will have one or several mission codes assigned to it. When running the timetable schedule, a train will also add the assigned mission codes to its current mission codes for mission code manager path auto selection.

			And then you have the list of all stops with their stop zone name, arrival time, departure time and option to reverse train direction at the target stop. You may also enter some information about some passing through step by entering the string "nostop" instead of an arrival time : this enables to have some passing through time information included in the schedule, but the train will not stop at any "passing through stops". This may be usefull also to keep the same stops structure for direct trains and omnibus ones.

			Arrival time are only optional informative data. Departure time will be used when a train running the schedule will be at the stop zone : it will leave only after the target departure time. Trains which are less than 12 hours late will not wait ; trains which are in advance on their schedule will wait until departure time for 12 hours max.
