+===== Setting Up Commuter Trains =====
+Commuter trains are trains allowed to change their running direction situation-related. Generally these are trains which can drive in any direction without requiring locomotive shunting.
+Trains __exclusively__ running between **[[:block-gen-en#terminal_station|Terminal Stations]]**, however, do not necessarily need to be defined as commuter trains provided option **[[:rocrailini-automode-en#stop_none_commuter_in_terminal|Stop Non-Commuter Trains in Terminal]]** in the Rocrail properties is deactivated.
+In order to run a train as a commuter train the following conditions have to be met:
+  * Option **[[:loc-details-en#commuter_train|Commuter Train]]** has to be activated in the loco properties.
+  * Each block the train should be able to access must **[[:block-permissions-en#commuter_train|allow commuter trains]]**.
+  * Each block the train should be allowed to change direction within must either **[[:block-gen-en#allow_change_direction|allow direction changes]]** or has to be defined as a **[[:block-gen-en#terminal_station|Terminal Station]]**.

+==== Commuter Trains Between Stopover Blocks ====
+Trains shuttling between stopover blocks, i. e. blocks not representing end blocks of a line, are sometimes referred to as yo-yo trains. This type of train is achieved if one or more stopover blocks allow direction changes.
+Even then trains do only change their direction if Rocrail is not able to find a destination opposite to the block enter side (i. e. in driving direction) because the following block
+    * does not allow commuter trains or
+    * is occupied or
+    * is out of operation or
+    * can not be accessed due to other reasons like, e. g., block permissions.
+In these cases routes leaving the block enter side - if any - are evaluated, too. In case a route is found the logical direction of the loco and the block enter side will be swapped allowing the train to leave the block in opposite direction. \\
+The rule is: trains maintain their direction whenever possible. \\

+In this example loco 1016 is defined as commuter train. The loco __may__
+  * enter blocks B3, B4, B5 and B6 because commuter trains are allowed in these blocks
+  * not enter blocks B1, B2 and B7 because commuter trains are not allowed in these blocks
+  * change its running direction in blocks B3, B4, B5 and B6 because block properties allow for
+The loco __will__ change its running direction
+  * in blocks B3, B4 and B5 only if no destination is found in the original direction,
+  * always in B6 because it can leave the block only in the direction it came from.
