Train number generator by Kacper9

Ogólne zasady numeracji pociągów

1. 1. Train - railroad vehicle albo set of railroad vehicles that meets conditions fixed for trains and to which infrastructure owner set the train status.
2. Status of the train has set of carriages or other railroad vehicles connected with working traction unit or only traction unit, properly signalled and ready for driving/in the route.
3. Due to the types of made transport trains are divided for such categories::

1. passenger;
2. freight;
3. service(utrzymaniowo - naprawcze).

4. All running trains recieve number, which is single, unique and used for whole route, what is set to a train type.
SWDR4 system makes impossible to set the number, what is already used by another user.
5. Trains driving in direction with raising mileage of line are marked by odd number and trains driving in reverse direction - even numbers (note - see point 6).
6. Number of train is changed on the route properly to line mileage, but strict rules of changing it are applied: 0/1, 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 8/9 eg. 5100 to 5101, 12105 to 12104 etc.
Because TD2 connects sceneries dynamically, it is advised to set one number for whole route (exception is wrong train category).
7. Domestic passenger trains are marked by 4 and 5-digit numbers.
8. For trains what are changing category on the route (eg. from MPE to EIE, ROJ to RPJ) for whole route number from running train is still applicable.
In TD2 for properly justified category change by train driver dispatcher is responsible. Dispatcher has to change category in SWDR4 and include information in Uwagi eksploatacyjne about it eg.:
"Changing the train category from ROJ to RPJ".
9. Domestic freight, service and non-commercial trainsare marked by 6-digit number.
10. International trains are signed with resolution cards UIC 419-1 for passenger trains and 419-2 for freight trains and with arrangements of international conferences and proper national number for a type of train. However in Poland such trains have their own number which has 4 or 5 digits and this number should be used in TD2.
11. For short international border routes it's allowed to use only the international number. It doesn't apply to TD2.
12. 1st digit in 4,5,6-digit national trains means the number of construction area for the station where the train starts.

It isn't obligatory.
13. 2nd digit in 4,5,6-digit national trains means the number of construction area for the station where the train ends.

Legend
X - There's no proper rolling stock and category in SWDR.
* - No proper rolling stocks.
** - Pociągi ratunkowe i próżne składy pasażerskie (tzw. służbowe) w zależności od sytuacji przyjmują różne numery. Przykładowo lokomotywa, która ściąga zdefektowany skład ze szlaku, przyjmie numer tego pociągu z dopisem zera na początku. Natomiast pociąg o (przykładowym) numerze 61107 zjeżdżający na stację postojową przyjmie nowy numer, z zerem na początku od stacji zakończenia biegu dla podróżnych, do stacji postojowej.

WARNING! Riding with zero at the beginning od train number isn't recommended due to that SWDR4 doesn't recognize this zero. In this way train driver has a zero at the beginning but dispatchers see next digits which isn't zero. That can make communication harder and it can make complications..
