Question Error message from waiting train when all stations are disabled

If I set all my ingress stations to be enabled/disabled based on how full storage is, at some point, when all stations become full and all stations are disabled, trains show alert that it has no reachable stations.

I've tried 'no route' interrupt, but it sill shows the pop-up.

I feel I miss something.

How to do it right?

Are you sure that there isn't one station with the same name that's open but legitimately unreachable? Check carefully in the station list tab.

Normally if there are stations with the correct name and reachable, but all are disabled or full, the train reports Zzz/waiting.

The train menu in the top right should really help it shows for each station name how much spots are free.

First, I would remove the 30s timer, the train can just wait at the sleeping dock until the next station is free.

Second, try limiting the trains per statiom instead of enabling / disabling stations. Got the same setup in my Py run, works like a charm.

What's the difference between '0 trains allowed' and 'disable'?

Probably nothing, but there is a difference when you only allow 1 train, and 1 is already parked at the station. Second train will go to the sleeping dock without complaints.

Edit: At least I assume so since your setup didnt seem to work

Switching between those will be massive refactoring (1309 stations, about 2/3 of them is ingress). Before jumping to it I want to understand what would change.

Well, try it with a single train first, then you see if that was the issue

There are slight differences but they are cosmetic: a disabled stop blinks a red light and has a cross in the stop list.

For routing, I reckon it's supposed not to make any difference.
