The Wait and Travel records appear in the grid with time ranges representing arrival times at the “off” stop if the travel is from a garage to a node (relief node) or representing departure times from the “on” stop if the travel is from a node to a garage. The property that enables this is set in FX. Refer to the section on Runcutting properties in the FX User Guide.
