Activity timetable station halt

[thegreatone1980]

In the TSRE 5 activity editor, I am able to specify the timing for station halt, but suppose the train is late to the station, the halt time is cut and not the full time.

When train is early or on time, no problem, departure time is actual departure time which is to be expected.

How to ensure that regardless delay train halts for the duration it is supposed to halt? E.g. if the train timetable is 17:05-17:07 then the halt should be for 2 minutes, even if it arrives at 17:08 hours.

In timetable mode this is not a problem as train halt time is respected. But in activity mode the actual halt duration is only based on departure time.

The station stop time is determined by the number of passengers waiting to board the train regardless of arrival time. Therefore if the passengers only take 1 minute to complete boarding and the train arrival time is later than the scheduled departure time, the train will be allowed to depart upon completion of loading. If you require the full stop time to be used, you have to ensure that the number of passengers waiting is large enough to do this. Refer to the manual section 10.12.5 Stop Time at Stations.

Ok thanks. I wonder if a waiting point would solve it. Though it seems hacky.
