About Automatic Train Depot

From Factorio Mod Portal

This mod sends idle/blocked trains to the depot to get them out of your way.

Adds a special type of train stop called "Idle Train Stop". Trains that do not have a valid route, or their current destination has exceeded its maximum train limit, are automatically sent to the idle train stop(s).

Best practice is to have many idle train stops, all with a train limit of one. This way you can build a train depot that houses idle/waiting trains, and avoid the need for "stacker" space before each station.
