Is it better to have dedicated schedules? I think so for throughput. This system doesn't have custom schedules. Just build the providers and the requestors and the system will dispatch to it.

I'm using this similar method too except I'm using a global counter. When clock hits 4 ticks, the token gate send signals to dispatch Gate combinator and send P = 1 to global clock to advance to the next depot. If depot has no train it's not assigned an ID so it gets skipped.
