A bug, alright. :roll:

What I'd do is create a turn around road, put a cargo station in the middle, and give the trucks waypoints.

I figured

At first it was like this: one way roads leading in and out, 1 track normal road in front of the 2 lorry stations, but after a while they got stuck up, one truck trying to leave, 6 were waiting in line to get in
So I added 1 piece to the normal road, they still got stuck, so I added another piece, now no more deadlocks

I now of that trick, but I wanted to glue the lorry stations to an existing trainstation, my setup is easy for that, your setup needs space behind the lorry station, this puts them further away

Incredible for you to notice I'm using them, earthslopes are one of the best mods, I use them always

Well, there are not many people playing lomo and posting pics like in the ttd or openttd sections, so I figured I'd post some of my layouts
My map isn't very special, I don't use magic to create extra long stations, I don't like more than 3 platforms, I don't connect everything into one network, some of them are just plain station to station layouts, but they can be fun to build
The biggest pleasure sometimes is being able to use certain tracks for other connections, and the bigest pleasure is seeing trains taking the right turns without needing waypoints :lol:

Here is a few shots from my US game (randomly generated map)

This is the run in to the main terminus

The main terminus with a freight port around the back of the city
Image
A very busy food processing plant with a oil refinery nextdoor so i linked it to to a road oil-goods network as well as food trucks.
Image
The main oil refinery, thousands of tons of goods are produced here

The largest station and terminus but doesnt handle as much traffic as the other one.
There is more to come :D

I made this nice little network, it connects a forest, a paper mill a printing works and an airport accepting goods

Line connects printing works in the North, paper mill and airport in the south and forest in the middle

I have 11 trains rolling now, 6 to the forest, 3 paper mill and 2 to the airport
Attachments
The printing works is simple, only tricky thing here is to tell the paper trains to unload the goods so they don't take the goods with them

The paper mill in the south, you can't see the airport but it's on the right, you can see the the tracks going to and coming from it, goods trains go from the printing works and deliver their goods

Goal: Making 1 station from 2
Setup: steel mill with 2 stations, one with trains coming in with iron ore and coal, second station with trains leaving with steel, these trains joined a track with chemicals trains
Attachments
Picture 2: the ore station rebuilding so there are 5 platforms, 3 for the ore and 2 for the steel trains
