Need help with pre-signals

pre-signals works great for all my stations, except for this one

the trains keep wanting to drive out the wrong site

anyone knows which signal is wrong??

My guess is that they want to enter the depot, aren't they?

don't think there are already 16000 days passed

removed the depot:

I always build a two way signal at the entrance of an station.. and right behind it I place a one way signal.. so they CANT go out on the wrong side....

I thought it had to be the other way, personally.

And some nice ASCII art...

/ ! 0 0 0 0 £
| ! 0 0 0 0 £
| ! 0 0 0 0 £
\ ! _ _ _ _ _

Where | and / is track, ! is a 1-way presig, £ is a two way presig and 0 is a station.

I usually use manual pre-signals, but mosly i use terminus stations - when i use ro-ro i usually put it in a loop. Everything looks okay, but it's still a bit confusing. Perhaps turn off pre-sigs, then turn em on again so that they re-set...

Bartel is using good signals, his pic is a good ro-ro station
He just had 'reverse at stations' on, this meant his trains came in from the left, loaded and tried to leave left again, because that way was shorter
But there they had a left one-signal , so they had to turn again

It always seems to me that trains will take whichever available exit is pointing in the direction of their next waypoint. The easiest way of stopping it is to turn of train reversing (as someone else said.)
