Coupling vehicle journeys

You may use the tabular or graphical timetable to couple vehicle journeys.

1. Mark the vehicle journey(s) that you want to edit (Marking vehicle journeys).

2. On the timetable toolbar, click the Couple vehicle journeys icon .

Notes: If you cannot couple the selected vehicle journeys, the Couple vehicle journeys icon in the toolbar is grayed out.

If you have selected several vehicle journeys, the vehicle journey with the smallest number is displayed in the left half of the window and the first continuous area for which coupling partners exist is selected.

The Couple vehicle journey <number> window opens.

3. In the Selection of coupled section section, mark a consecutive area for coupling. Depending on your selection, in the Selection of coupling partners section, the list of potential coupling partners changes.

4. If required, click the icon to limit the number of rows displayed.

Note: Coupling is always an additive element. In the Couple vehicle journey <number> (...) window, you may perform one of the following operations for coupled vehicle journeys:

Select a larger coupling range and a coupled vehicle journey to extend its coupling.
Select the same range and another vehicle journey than the coupled one in order to add it to an existing coupling.

In the window, coupled vehicle journeys are not already preselected on the section selected. As coupling is always additive, no existing coupling is deleted. However, in the course of a vehicle journey, the Selection of coupling section section shows you where vehicle journeys have already been coupled.
