Scenario Duration

[Bluefox]

The scenario duration displayed next to each service does not seem to be giving meaningful information (the number displayed seems to have no bearing on the real time involved), it's important for this to be accurate, I like to finish a service and I want to know how long this is going to take.

The scenario duration is a simple estimate from the timetable. Due to the unexpected behaviour of players and/or randomized AI actions this may not be 100% accurate. The scenario may take longer if your train gets stuck behind another, or shorter if the dispatcher decides to skip or shorten your stop at a station. When choosing a scenario you should always add for example a 10% duration margin. There's also no penalty for leaving early so if you cannot complete your scenario in time you can always leave the game session.
