Well true, but they'll still only take the shortest one unless occupied, then the longer one. It wouldn't be able to deal with things like "I'm a non-stop train, so I'll take the line that doesn't go through station a", or "I've got a faster train behind me so I'll divert onto this longer track to let it overtake" - which is where it is useful to use waypoint stations. -- Tom Cumming New to this newsgroup?
