== Operational Tips ==
+
The timetable is relatively quiet in the first few hours, which enables the user to familiarize themselves with the layout. Later in the morning, it gets very serious; train movements are frequent with a lot of conflicting routes. It is advised to turn down the simulation speed to cope.
