Hello,

Thanks for letting us know - apologies that there weren't any admins online at the time, but the behaviour is noted, and the player will be warned.

I can see the top 1 being spreading as the stations are not being used...

However are the bottom 2 classed as spreading as the Goods vehicles are using the cargo stations and theres plenty of vehicles to justify having that many stations?

Thanks

Well, it's been extended into the town centre, probably in order to gain goods coverage when the town was smaller. Either way, road stations connected to rail stations should only be on the tiles directly next to the rail station, any more than this gains extra coverage, and even with increased vehicle numbers, is usually only done for that purpose.

In cities, the maximum road station size is three tiles in a line per station type, and going round corners with the same station type breaks that rule.

Hope that answers your question

As truck + railstation combined gives truck +1 range this is however spreading by just putting a truckstation beside trainstation. As truckstation is a dropoff/transfer only this gains xtra coverage anyway by having it on the city side

The case in pictures shows an obvious spread ofc either to gain pax or acceptance.

I think btpro should do a list of activity times of each admin to determine where it lacks admins at specific timezone/time
