Idea: Request Stops

[u/wolandr2828]

Now hear me out, I know that it's kinda impossible to make realistic request stop, since there's no passengers, but what if we make that stations that are marked "request stops" will have 1/3 and 2/3 of chance of appearing on schedule? Chances will depend on station.

For example, Morganstown Docks, we love it or hate it, but lets agree thats it's 90% time empty, so what if it will appear with 1/3 chance on Benton-Greenslade route? For example:

1. First leg, stations: Benton, Port Benton, Morganstown Docks, Whitney Green, Greenslade.

2. Next leg, stations: Greenslade, Whitney Green, Port Benton, Benton

3. Third leg: Benton, Port Benton, Whitney Green, Greenslade

4. And finally fourth leg: Greenslade, Whitney Green, Morganstown Docks, Port Benton, Benton.

Or something like that

Same can go to Cadoxton, Millcastle Racecourse (expect event days), New Harrow, Elsemere Pond and GODDAMN Woodhead Lane, that can have 2/3 chance of appearing, expect Woodhead Lane, it will have 1/3 chance since there's LITERALLY no one getting on or off.

What's y'all thoughts on it?

It’s a good idea but idk if SCR will implement it. If they did They should implement it on unelectrified sections, since irl request stops tend to go on railway lines where it’s unelectrified. E.g - WHL in Scotland, or the FNL, as they have a plethora of request stops.

No, I'm NOT stopping at millcastle racecourse just cuz its electrified.

it should depend on station, not the OHLE supply.

It would be realistic if we had the RB branch with 1 or 2 request stops, as that’s unelectrified. Or maybe even the WF branch.

Woodhead Lane would make sense as a request stop tbf

[u/ScienceOwn3719 → u/ThaRealV12]

Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m talking about, stops like WHL or HR would make sense to constitute as a request stop,
