Hi there

Probably being a bit thick but how do you add commands to the timetable?

I've done a timetable and it runs fine but I want to add the #speedmph command to control the speed of certain services.

I've read the manual and noted it says to use something like Excel to edit the timetable. I've done this and added the #speedmph to the row after the #note command in the spreadsheet. I've then saved it as unicode as mentioned in a previous post with the tab, ; and , as delimiters.

When I open the timetable in the editor to add the speeds, half the timetable is missing (services or consists or times) and some other entries are in the wrong places.

I'm obviously doing something wrong somewhere, though the #speedmph is there (at least have done something right).

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

When i started using that row i just edited with ConText and added a new line
#speedkph;

And then got back to the timetable editor.
