What does pt mean in the timetable

[Tiraken]

I'm dispatching Grodzisk Mazowiecki and one of the cargo trains have "pt" in the "Stop Type" column. What does it mean?

[FartingZombie]

"pt" means postój techniczny. More or less it's technical stopover.

Would say it's pretty simple:

"ph" means exchanging a passengers 

"pt" means just a simple stop without an exchanging passengers

Thank you. I was wondering what "pt" meant as well.

I think, the pt-stop is needed to pass the 4146 from Line 4. If 4146 is a little bit too late and you let passes 145055 to line 1 then the freight train is blocking the switches.

On my 'Timetables for e-ink kindles / kobo's (and tablets)'  i use ;pt for the Olszamowice 'stop' which is a stop in the sidings by the passenger train you are driving, to let a faster train past you, 
Hence i've made them bold as the other stops are (;ph after them ... and ;ph,zd at the first and last station we get to drive between means 'stop for passengers' and 'crew change')
But i've also made this stop italic to make it stand out that whilst it's a stop, it's not at a station... so you may miss it (some dispatchers forget this too and send you straight through even if you are running on time or early)

Yeah, if the dispatcher in Ol don't mind the pt-stop, then Opoczno Poludnie will hate him 😄

Not once did I have a dispatcher honor the pt stop at Olzamoviche when I was running an EC 😜 It causes interesting issues down the line, last time I drove the guy in Pilichovice put me on the opposite track to let the pendolino overtake me.

Great, someone thought about it. So sad, that Pilichowice is rarely used by a human.

Still think that Olszamowice, Pilichowice and Opoczno Południe should just be merged and made into a 'mega' workstation/panel, then there's more chance of it being staffed by a human then.

Olszamowice and Pilichowice, yes. Otherwise both are boring. Maybe not Opoczno Południe, though, that one is fine as it is. Knapówka and Psary would be nice if they could be merged, though. At least with the current timetable.
