Multi platform stations should show their name only once.

Post by MrPaperShoes »

When going into the map train stations with multiple platforms are displayed like this;

I propose something like this;

I haven't found any mods, or any other posts which address this, if they exist please link them for me.

I believe that this small change in the map interface would make it a little easier to find stations, and personally I feel it looks much tidier.

Please let me know your thoughts.

I think there should be a toggle on each Train Station to show/hide it on the map. It's easier to implement and more flexible.

Wouldn't it also be great that a station with multiple platforms act as 1 station for scheduling. Train would then look for an available platform.

Downside would be to add a filter to the unloading lines.

If you mean a station with multiple train stops: if you give them the same name trains will choose a free one, but already when they leave the previous train stop. So you often want a single train stop where they leave directly just before the station, so that they will choose a free platform (train stop) in the big station. You can also use a stacker before the first (single) train stop if the trains tend to arrive in bursts and you don't want to block any main line.
