Not sure if it's possible to fix this...


Trains take people to the airport, they're flown to another airport, and then the same is at the other end... The planes work fine, the trains however...

Is there any way to say...

"Take passengers from town to airport" (easy)
"Transfer them" (easy)
"ONLY pick up passengers who've flown into the airport, NOT the ones you've just train-dropped!"
"Take them to the town..."

etc.

No, there is not.

You need to follow the guidelines in the two-way feeder service wiki article, to set up a working two-way feeder service.

Your other option is to play with one of the cargo destination patches. The two most recent ones are yacd and cargodistribution. You find them in the development forum. Note that you need a separate OpenTTD installation for them and that the save games made with these patches don't work in standard OpenTTD. See more on patches: Patch wiki article

The two way feeder system on the wiki can be straightened out and it will serve your needs.
So you have:

0--A-B--@


0=town
A=middle station 1
B=middle station 2
@=airport

One train shuttles from the town to the first middle station and transfer, then pick up from the second
The other shuttles from the airport to the second middle station and transfers and then to the first and picks up.

However you still get a loop of
0 -> A -> @ -> B -> 0...

Without cargoDist there is no way.

the simplest is to just put the airport in the town.

Here is one, rather awkward way.

Town A has train station A, and airports (with attached stations) A1 and A2.
Town A has train station B, and airports (with attached stations) B1 and B2.

Train 1:
Goto A
Goto A1 (transfer and leave empty)
Goto A2
Goto A

Train 2:
Goto B
Goto B1 (transfer and leave empty)
Goto B2
Goto B

Planes:
Goto A1
Goto B2 (transfer and leave empty)
Goto B1
Goto A2 (transfer and leave empty)

This essentially creates two one-way connecting paths.
