Fix generate sheets for complex sims #55

Closed lukos closed 2 years ago

lukos commented 2 years ago

In the example for Wolverhampton, there is a general direction from up to down with a few exceptions which makes it easy enough to create sample spreadsheets with just two timetable sheets.

However, if you look at somewhere like Saltley or BNS, there are about 8 different ways that trains can cross up or down (or even reverse) which would realistically need multiple sheets.

With a slight change in the format of the template, we could have multiple arrays of locations, each of which becomes another sheet in the Template.xlsx to make it easier for people creating TTs for these complex sims. For example, the WCML along with the line to Droitwich via Stourbridge are included in the Section CD timetable but other services like XC from Gloucester via BNS to Derby are not and would ideally be entered onto a separate sheet.

This might also fix the problem with the up/down direction on some sims, you could now create a separate template for this traffic flow.
