Problems with train schedules

Hi! I would like to know how to exclude a switched off station from the train schedule, this was before space age, but now it has been replaced by the train waiting for the station to switch on.

You cannot make trains skip disabled train stations in the schedule in Space Age. Interrupts are a new mechanic to dynamically build schedules, so disabled stations will not appear in the schedule in the first place.
See:

These articles are not just a presentation of this feature, they also show in depth how you use it - you can almost directly copy the configuration shown for your own use.

If you relied on disabling stations to skip stations in the past (instead of dynamically setting train limit to 0), you need a major shift in your thinking how train scheduling works. This might be difficult - try to forget it was ever possible to skip stations. After you forgot this, study the new mechanics and work out a plan how to organize your train with the new mechanics.

In the conditions to left station you can add condition "OR Station is full" and not disable it, but make limit to 0. Maybe it will help.
