Northgate Dispatch

Signal control

Northgate Dispatch is a train-control puzzle game for PC. You work the night shift as a signal operator, using one green-and-amber terminal to manage trains at junctions and platforms. Read the timetable, bring trains in, hold late services, and release them onto the main line before the next train reaches the junction.

Routes and timing matter. Sending a train onto an occupied platform, blocking a junction, or releasing a service too early trips the interlocking. You then file an incident report, name the cause, and clear the block while other trains queue behind it. The clock keeps moving as each shift gets tighter.
