Blocking Other Exception Combinations

After the base set of exception trips has been blocked and you have remaining trips with exceptions that are unblocked, use the Blocking tool dialog box to complete the blocking process.

The remaining unblocked trips can not be blocked using the automatic or manual approach because doing so would affect blocks you have already completed. For example, in the following graphic, look at the two trips starting at 16:00 at node MOGR that appear to overlap. The blocking process would not put these trips in the same block. However, they do not really overlap because the first trip runs only on school days and the second trip runs only on school holidays. Note that they have different exception tags (SD and #SD).
