Formula Where two adjacent hubs are within less than 30 minutes journey time of each other along the inter-town route connecting them, ConnectedCities assigns the stations along the route to one or other of the hub towns according to a formula. The formula states that a station will be in ConnectedCity A if: tA:tB < √pA:√pB where: tA = journey time in minutes from the hub of ConnectedCity A tB = journey time from the hub of ConnectedCity B pA = population of the hub town of ConnectedCity A pB = population of the hub town of ConnectedCity B. This formula usually assigns those stations that are some distance from either hub to the larger of the two hub towns. Using time alone, a place might well find itself attached to a small hub town of which it makes little use rather than to a larger, more useful hub town somewhat further away. | Journey Times To ascertain the journey time from the hub station of a ConnectedCity to any station on one of its inter-town routes.
