Northgate Dispatch

Run the board.

It is the night shift and the trains do not wait. You work one green-and-amber
control terminal as the signal operator. Read the timetable, bring approaching
trains in, hold the ones running late, and release them down the main line
before the next service reaches the junction.

One wrong route locks the line.

Send a train onto an occupied platform, foul the junction, or release one early
and the interlocking trips. Now you are filing the incident report, naming the
cause, and clearing the block while three more trains stack up behind it. Each
shift gets tighter, and the clock keeps moving.

Earn your grade.

You start as a trainee on a quiet branch and work up shift by shift: city
terminals, tangled interchanges, and the graveyard rush where a lot goes wrong
at once. Every railyard runs the same schedule each time, so a bad shift is on
you, and getting good at it is real.

Features

• The whole job on one screen. No menus to dig through. Every train,
  signal, and report lives on one hand-built CRT board. Learn it in a shift,
  chase an A for weeks.
  
• Deterministic puzzles. Seeded schedules, so it comes down to skill,
  not luck.
  
• Six difficulty tiers, from a quiet induction run to the hidden
  graveyard shift, each with its own railyards.
  
• Full controller support and a keyboard-first design that runs well on
  the Steam Deck.
  
• Station ambience that reacts to your board: crowd noise, rolling
  stock, and platform announcements.
  
• 15 achievements and lifetime stats.
  
• Three terminal colours: emerald, amber, and lapis.

Languages

Interface and station announcements in English, German, French, Spanish,
Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese. Text and voice can be set
separately.

Clock in and take the board.
