Yes. Make thoce 2 ways signals.
Alcohol is not the answer, it just makes you forget the question.

Happens to me too. Trains waiting for one platform only, even if it's occupied and the other is free. I tried to re-build the track in different style, but then they were only going through the other platform :(

stupid question:
why?
For me it's logically like it's there.
If I make them twoway, the trains will start rolling in this direction, don't they?

Go to difficulti options, and set "Train reversing" to "At end of line only". Then they won't.

Thaks, the second article ( http://ttd.cernun.net/info/advancedsignals.html ) explains it -
* with two-way signal, train chooses always the route with green signal, even if it doesn't lead to destination at all
* with one-way signal, train chooses always the shortest route, even if it has red signal.
