Update 1096
7 November 2024
A route map has been added to the top of the 'Travel' page in the public tickets website, to assist passengers understanding the layout of stations.

(We are aware that, for some railways, the stations have been 'fiddled' to provide the desired result, and in these cases the route map won't be suitable for public display. If this applies to you please let us know and we can hide it on a railway-by-railway basis.)

We intend to develop this further to provide information about the stations, such as toilets, cafe, etc, in the future.
Update 870
15 June 2022
The availability matrix in HOPS has a new 'white stripe' added when a person is fully utilised.

A person is considered fully utilised when they have been allocated the number of turns they asked for or, if they indicated 'unlimited', when they have been allocated a turn on every day they are available.

This makes it easy to visually distinguish a 'Yes' that is able to be used (green) from a 'Yes' that can't be used as the person is already working their max amount (green with white stripe).

If all Ys are green/white, the max utilisation has been reached and therefore the best efficiency from the roster availability.
