I changed the crossings to this. The only thing i have to do is find another way for leaving trains.

I marked some places with sharp corners. I think it is better to allow maglev go faster and make more tiles between corners.

I'd like to make a suggestion on your large junctions - whilst being away from my usual PC so not able to create any example screenshots to describe what I'm talking about - so I'll try in text.

Imagine, you have a North, South, East and West junctions with the trains wanting to go in all of the directions.

In your example, a train coming from South but wants to go East, has to pass the junction that Eastern Trains enter from when they want to go North. This causes a problem in the future as these two types of trains have to merge together before being the split between East and North directions.

Therefore, I would suggest that for efficiency reason that your large junctions are adjusted to remove these joins. Therefore, the train coming from the South going East only hits the Eastern track trains and not other trains going in other directions.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say!

What i get out of your message is that i need 4 instead of 2 tracks next to each other?

I totally changed it to this. And it is working a lot better.

Yes, it looks much better. But you can check where trains are slowing down, and make that part even more smooth.

Each 1 to 5 track is connected to a 1 to 5 track at the other side and there are riding the same amount of trains on each track. So i can't connect the lines to each other.

I showed that it is possible to eliminate part of corners. Mergings of lines is not showed on picture.

Your corners are still way to sharp. It seems as you use trainlength of 20. This would require a corner to be 10 tiles long without if slowing down.
