How do I add a buffer?

To add a buffer between tasks in the schedule view:

1. Add a one-off task: Click the plus button to add a one off task.

2. Edit buffer settings:
• In the side panel, select buffer from the task type dropdown.
• Enter the desired buffer duration (in days).

3. Save buffer: Buffers will appear as grey bars in the timeline and help absorb variation.

🔒 Buffers act as cushions to protect against cascading delays. Use them strategically between trains or near milestones.
