Hello everyone! I am currently designing a main station that needs to be able to handle many trains at once, it will have five platforms (only two are connected currently)which all have both extended waiting areas at the entrance and exit. My problem is that the incoming trains only ever enter the waiting area for platform 1, and thus only use one platform, even though there is an empty waiting area right next to it. Any tips would be appreciated in how to fix this.
Thank you in advance for any who try to help

Re: Station Entrance Problems
After some experimenting, I managed to fix it myself actually, if any of you are curious I think it was because there was an one square gap between each waiting area.
As you can see when the intersection needed to have less space between the turns in order for the trains to function like they should.

Re: Station Entrance Problems
Try to put a 2-way signal just before the platform instead of a 1-way.
So between the switch and the platform.
