I think you need to add signals where I marked them, and you might need to give your trains waypoints to make sure they go the right way.

Somewhat unrelated, but who's custom station is that in the upper half?

Its either my eyes are playing up on me again, or is there a buffer in the middle of the track... because that could also be the cause to your problem

it could indeed cause the problem because the buffer is infact a one way signal. camouflaged like a buffer stop.

I felt it is worse after I remove the buffer in the middle of the track.(Two trains said waiting signal.)
But I put the buffer,it just block one way.

Locomotion block the two ways!!!! Help!!
(Is it a bug made by Locomotion?)

Are you mean this station?
It is a Hong Kong MTR Style Station.

well to fix your lil problems is simply removing either, or both objects i've selected;

one is to remove the signals that the two trains stop at...
..and the other is to remove the 'S-bend junction' just after the station.

By removing the signals i've (hopefully clearly) pointed out, would make the whole junction system as one section, meaning one train, and only one train, shall go through the junction.
and removing the S-bend, would simpley split the section into two sections, and seperating the (what it appears to be) the left side of your line, from the middle.

However, if you want to keep those two things what you could also do is simpley place a '2-way' signal just before the circled s-bend, and possibally signals on a grid before the junctions and after the stations.

You have 2 crossovers blocking eachother creating an impassible roadblock. you need to use 1 way signal blocks/ pre-signals to stop trains from getting into that situation. take a look at your schematic that i updated. see if you understand what i did. i just tried it out and it works.

To make funtional pre-signal blocks in lomo to keep trains from blocking crossings, all entrances to the block MUST BE one way INTO the block, all exits MUST BE 2 way signals. you can build extremely complex switching situations with pre-signal blocks and routing orders.
