This is the list for the PCC in the Toronto network. As you can see the code to use in activity's to show "short turn" is "shortturn" (use this destinbation code in the CTD route file, and this list says to the simulator "show destination display index number 2 in the simulation", which is "Short Turn"):

Code: Select all

  <index id=" 1">0-bd</index>
  <index id=" 1">bd</index>
  <index id=" 1">notinservice</index>
  <index id=" 2">shortturn</index>

Are these possible terminuses for 510 & 511 services, I thought most services terminate at Spadina and Union Station for 510, and Exhibition and Bathurst for 511.

Also, in the week activity on Simvliet, the depots don't work. Also noticed that some trams lost their destination signs.

Okay, new question:

In Rijndam 2020, how do I send M4 trains to the connection that connects M4 with the M2 & M3?

Just give your train a trainnumber (the destination letter at the end) leading to a destination which you can reach without reversing the train on-route.

I ask this because I'm modifying the activity where the M4 gets rerouted.

You can always make a modified CTD file with different route settings at the junctions yourself for your activity.

I did, but there's a small problem, the trains after using the curve stop at the junction at the tracks of M2 & M3, how do I solve it?

Upload the files you have made here, so we can take a look. Describe what happens at what eaxct moment on what exact place, and what you think should be happening instead. Then we can take a look and see what's the problem.
