impatient trains in stations

Post by dynaxo »

I'm using a twoway station with many trains. Sometimes direct after loading/unloading a train wants to drive to the exit of the station, sees that the signal is red, turns and drives through the entry block into another platform from where it then exits the station.
This keeps happening on different stations, different platforms and with different trains but only sometimes. The signal wait time can't be the problem because they revert direct after loading/unloading. Also changing the exitsignals to twoway signals didn't help.
Hope you guys have some ideas.

Have you got reverse at stations on in the difficulty menu?

Of that fails try sending them to a waypoint on the other side of the station to see if that works.

That is a one way station you have posted.

If you look carefully at the attatched picture you will see that trains can enter and exit both ends of the station, so your example is not useful in this case.

But personally I use RORO stations rather than deal with 2-way traffic....just have 2 onroads and 2 offroads connecting them to the main line in each direction. Takes A LOT of space tho.

@Jabberwalkee
Actually my station is/shall be a one way station too, but I wrote it wrong in my first post. Sorry for that.

Yes I had. I deselected it and now it works perfect. Sometimes a solution can be so simple :D
But nevertheless I think that the behaviour I described above isn't planned so.

@ASM
This is also a good Idea. I'll build it when I need "reverse at station" again.


Thanks for your answers
