Short version

Rename "+Add wait condition" to "+Add leave condition" or "+Add departure condition"


Long version

Lets do this: Add wait condition => Passenger present
As everybody would understand from just reading the text, it implies the followings: if a passenger is present then wait().
But in fact what happening is the train is not waiting and move to the next stop.

It is not an issue for me now, but for new players in may be confusing. It used to be an issue for actually when I was new to the game

Indeed.

Cannot unsee, even after years of not seeing.

+1 to suggestion.

But "Add departure condition" could be taken to mean that the train won't depart without a condition given, i.e., without a condition the train will wait forever. So this would trade one confusion for another.

What about, instead:

+ Wait until...

I would be ok with it, if a train stay at a stop without any condition added.
The solution to it could be to add a condition "Do not stop/Ignore this stop". But who ever uses trains without conditions?

I use stops in routes without conditions. Helps to force some trains certain ways through the network.
