Just out of curiosity, is there any polish train enthusiasts that can give a proper rundown of how trains talk to dispatch? I think most of us are just freeballing it out here and it would be cool to know actual procedures or how its done normally? Like do the trains announce their arrival?
If you are trying to get off virtual work early and are running 15 minutes ahead of schedule, does it anger you if a dispatcher puts you on a sidetrack to get you back on time? Has it happened to you? As a dispatcher, do you do this and how well/not so well has it gone?
There has been a train stuck at a station that is unmovable, it has caused an incredible traffic jam and there is no way to get it moving other than waiting for a server restart
