setting schedules to 120 trains in a session??

Subways and railroads
does anybody know the fastest way to set schedules for 120 different trains in a session? i have my KTA: benjin city route that has 12 full length subway routes and a fast way to set up schedules for every train that runs on each route
 
Try the Schedule Library - once that is set up, you only need 2 commands for each train - a 5 second wait command and a Copy Commands From command.

i know of the copy command command but do i put the wait for command in front of the copy command
 
Yes - once you have set up the Schedule Library rule, this is how you set the trains schedules: (in this order)

WAIT (5 seconds)
COPY COMMANDS FROM (Library - this info is as entered on the Schedule Library Rule)

There are several ways to run the schedules, but the above is by far the most simple.
I found that if you break down a route into sections in the schedule library, you can make schedules from the schedules, if I make myself clear.
For example. You have one route of four stations, a,b,c,d where a and d are the end routes of one line and another route x,b,c and y, where x and y are the termini and use b and c as intermediate stops. You can make part-schedules of a to b, b to c, c to d, that might involve stopping at each of those stations, and schedules x to b and c to y, but b to c is already there. So if you were to make a full schedule of a to d or x to y, you can include those parts of the already created schedules in the new schedule.

You can create express non-stopping schedules like a to d seperate from the stopping services.

It means careful use of a naming protocol for the schedules, such as giving part-schedules different names from a full schedule. I use route numbers for full schedules, as they appear at the top of the list in "copy coomands from" and therefore are easy to call.

You can then call the schedules "by copy command - insert" after the "wait until hour" or "wait until minute" in the driver panel. So trains can run to your own timetable. Have fun with it. I have 20 or more trains in a session, any more it gets complicated and boring. The code sequencing slows down eventually if there are too many.
