How to Build Multi Platform Stations
**Modify this page. Add about how adjacent station tiles connect, and how public station tiles work**
Multi-platforms stations are a bit tricky in Simutrans. You can schedule trains for different platforms, they remember which platform you've clicked when entering the schedule. But the trains won't choose free platforms by themselves.
If you try to use signals to force trains to free platforms you risk traffic jams, because the trains are scheduled for certain platforms, and will wait until they can reach 'their' platform, regardless if there is a free platform nearby.
How many platforms do I need to serve my trains?
You usually need a separate platform for each train that is supposed to wait for loading. Thats ok, since otherwise they'd jam the station even if they choose platforms.Trains that unload at this station can all be scheduled to one shared platform usually.
So you need:
number_of_trains_set_to_load_and_wait
|
+ 1_if_trains_are_passing_through/unloading |
= number_of_platforms |
Depending on your network this can be significant less platforms than trains visiting that station.
