1) Van welke factoren hangt die performancerating af? Alleen winst, of ook hoeveelheid vervoerde goederen, verbonden steden enz?

MONITORING YOUR PROGRESSThe windows and displays described throughout this manual provide you with many ways to monitor your progress and the progress of your opponents. However, there are a few more statistics and displays that help you to assess the effectiveness of your play and monitor certain aspects of the game.
Company Value
Company value is one of the many outward indicators of your success. A high company value means that your company is financially healthy, with lots of cash on hand, a steady source of profits, and low debt. Some scenarios require that you achieve a certain company value level in order to win. The following equation is used to calculate company value:
Company Value = Cash – Loan + potential sale price of all currently active vehicles + (32 x current monthly profit of all vehicles)
Performance Index
Your Performance Index constantly monitors your proficiency. A high Performance Index shows that you are doing a good job. A low rating indicates that your efforts are not providing for the needs of the towns and people who are depending on you. This rating figures prominently in the goals for many of the scenarios. Your Performance Index is expressed as both a percentage and a verbal rating. The Corporate ratings that correspond to each percentage score are listed in the following table.
VERBAL RATING - PERCENTAGE
Platelayer - 0 – 9.9%
Engineer - 10 – 19.9%
Traffic Manager - 20 – 29.9%
Transport Coordinator - 30 – 39.9%
Route Supervisor - 40 – 49.9%
Director - 50 – 59.9%
Chief Executive - 60 – 69.9%
Chairman - 70 – 79.9%
President - 80 – 89.9%
Tycoon - 90 – 100%
Your Performance Index is continuously updated and shown on the Status Display. When a green up-arrow appears next to the rating, your score is on the rise. When a red down-arrow appears next to the rating, the Performance Index is dropping. This statistic is calculated based on two factors:
Monthly Units of Cargo Delivered x Delivery Distance: The amount of cargo you successfully deliver every month multiplied by the distance the cargo was delivered.
Monthly Vehicle Profit/Loss: Positive cash flow with regard to your vehicles leads to a higher rating. Vehicles whose operating costs exceed their income detract from your rating.
Each of these factors accounts for 50% of your Performance Index. You can monitor these statistics and compare your statistics to those of other companies on the Companies List (see “Companies List” on page 64 for details).
The Performance Index is calculated exponentially, so doubling the number of units of cargo you deliver every month doesn’t necessarily double your rating. The higher your rating, the more difficult it is to increase the rating further. In other words, expect large increases
early in the game, and proportionally slower increases as the game progresses.
If you see your Performance Index dropping, check the profitability of your vehicles and cargo routes and eliminate those that are losing money. Also, check the supply and demand at the various stations and passenger stops, and establish new cargo and passenger routes in areas that aren’t adequately served.

2) Komen er meer passagiers naar een station als zij vanaf dat station naar meerdere bestemmingen kunnen? Want tot nu is het bij mij eigenlijk altijd zo dat ik twee steden verbind met een spoorlijntje, maar het lijkt mij juist leuk om een heel netwerk op te bouwen, zoals dat in Railroad Tycoon 3 wel kon. Maar volgens mij hadden passagiers in Locomotion geen bestemming, dus dan werkt dit systeem niet.
Ik heb een lusje liggen met 2 stations op, en de trein laad telkens een 500 passagiers op. Het is niet zozeer de bestemming, de passagiers zijn blij als ze vervoerd kunnen worden, maar dat ze vervoerd worden telt.
Als er slechts een paar huizen in het "catchment area" van een station liggen ga je niet veel passagiers hebben, ligt dit echter tussen kantoren en flatgebouwen ga je veel meer passagiers hebben.
