upon. Also it would be extremely useful to be able to print lists of
when locomotives are due to arrive in the area (so you know which
bookings need a replacement because (a) the loco is not/is not going
to be in the area or is running so late that to wait for it will
unduly delay a departure. It would be equally useful to be able to
get a list locos that are booked, so that those that are not can be
easily identified as available for substituting for non-available
booking , piloting, inter-yard trips, etc.

Hi Chris.
I take it you are aware that if you click on an arrival on an
arrival list it shows you which loco is allocated? If a loco isn't
shown then it is waiting for a departure from the area for it's
return working. The arrival list also shows 'Check Loco' if a change
is required.
Although the lists don't scroll, they show the next 15 arrivals
which can be many hours ahead.
I usually check the arrivals list regularly so I can get engines
ready.
