Hi,

my trains are ignoring my signal :/
The always whant to enter the same lane in my station, even if the lane at the side is empty. (shown in the screenshot)


My fault?

Yes. Make thoce 2 ways signals.

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?

Just try it, and see for yourself...

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.
