Yeah.. the dev has done a great job and there's a small group of contributors that creates great looking routes also so it has some good content to play
Good episode thanks! I have a (rhetorical) question. Why, when you arrive a few seconds early, does it say you are 'on time' but if you were the same number of seconds you would be late!?
Arriving at a station early isn't an issue (No-one will complain about their train arriving earlier than expected :P ). Departing a station early is more of an issue and afaik the game will give you a 'moved while at booked stop' penalty if you do so. I don't think the game ever counts you as arriving 'early' at a station, always 'on time' or 'late'
You're absolutely correct. If you get to a station early the game won't penalize you but if you leave early it will. I think the question really was SHOULD the game penalize you if you get there early? Personally I can't see why it couldn't be added in but as you say no one irl complains if a train is early to a station so would it add anything to the game by adding it in? It would certainly increase the difficulty so maybe that's a reason. It wouldn't add much to realism as UK trains are seldom on time lol. I personally don't think the game needs it but it doesn't hurt to add new features. Maybe getting more points for stopping in the correct position on a platform maybe (I would be terrible at that). I think what would really help the game though is more game variation. Shunting on the game isn't great. If work was put into that side of things I'm sure it would help game sales
Thanks for showing this game, I think its pretty good
For a single dev game it's very well featured and fleshed out. I enjoy it
This game has come so far since I last played it seriously (just after it got released lol)

That's one for the dev I think. A minus score for being too early. I'm hardly ever on time so my score would be even worse than it is now lol
