Is it possible to setup multiple schedules for a single consist? For example:
Schedule 1: (At beginning of day). Water and coal up engine. Move consist to starting station.
Schedule 2: (To run multiple times during day). Run route from station A to B to C etc and back to A.
Schedule 3: (At end of day). Put consist into storage area. Return engine to shed.
And repeat for each day.
If so how would I do it? Im going to assume it will have some sort of timer to trigger each schedule.

I think you can do this using the Schedule Library and Copy-Commands from corresponding related driver command when creating your saved session using the session editor and not UDS.
When creating your session, set your time to the beginning of your start time.
In the Schedule Library, set up your Schedule 1, 2 and 3. You put in driver commands just as you would if you were putting your commands in manually in Driver Setup. The only command you can't use is Repeat because that will mess things up royally.
Set up your driver(s) in Driver Setup.
Put in a wait command. I use 20 seconds to give the following commands to load.
Using the Copy Commands from...
Insert from Library put in Schedule 1
Wait for as long as you need to using the wait command again.
Insert Schedule 2
Wait again, this time for 20 seconds, and then insert Schedule 3.
Schedule 3 should contain a return to the engine house and has to contain a Wait until time command to get the AI to start at again at the correct time. You then put in the repeat so that Schedule 1 reloads, and your day begins.
Don't use Append Schedule because it never worked even in the olden days, always use Insert Schedule from Library because the Append Schedule will put the command in the wrong order. Insert from Driver also does weird things and produces driver can't be found but the schedule loads even though the driver is there. Similarly, this never worked properly even in TS12.
