Train trying to enter Station although it is in use

High there,

i´ve been playing TTD (Patch) since a view years, but i have a problem with my station signals.

My trains are alle trying to enter the same port of the station, allthough there are another 6 slots available. They also do so if the first slot is in use, and so the block the whole station.

See Screenshot

I have no idea how to fix it O_o

I´am using the latest Patch version 2.0.1 alpha 37 but i had this problems with other versions too.

Thx 4 ur help

no bug here

1. This loco does not need a tender
2. You need to place two-way signals for trains to choose free platform.

as i thought

the trains now try to leave the station backwards (first)
how to tell them to pass the station only in one direction ?

difficulty settings -> trains reversing: at the end of line only

set up a waypoint behind station and tell them to use this one

afair train reversing is new-game only.

uzurpator, I first time hear that .... I used to freely change this option during the game ... and its effect was immediately

Put one-way signals just behind the two-way ones (between the station and the two-ways).
Then set the 2-ways to combo signals, and the one ways exit signals.

shadow - I dunno. Last time I used reverse at stations was february 1995. I used reverse at end of line from then...

Possible - but with a penalty: The difficulty setting changed tu "custom" which really doesn't matter if you are playing a game at this difficulty already, but if you are playing any other.....

The two-stage signalling pointed out by Szappy was my invention (I think) and it works beautifully. Although, it never hurts to also have a signaltower on the exit side, and have it in the orders list so trains know to go there when they're finished unloading.

everything is fine now

my version from SCR2 (see screen above) works fine ( like it always did )

i just used another installation of v2.0.1 beta 37, with different .cfg file, now it works, but i don´t know how

mybe it depends on the grafic/vehicle sets too

but there is no option in the cfg file that would eyplain why it works now O_o (the reverse on endstation option had no effect on my PC (because the target station where the train gets paid is the endstation ?!?!)
