I'd do it something like this:

All signals are 1-way path except the two on the centre line which are 2-way path.

Ugh. That looks simple. And I couldn't even come up with that! I feel stupid! :)

Thank you! :bow: I have about 10 trains running on the same three tracks now. I feel like God. :D

The thing about path signals is that fewer is often better. :) It's especially good to remember that when trains reverse, they wait/reserve a path without needing a signal, so you don't need signals on the platforms of terminus stations (you still need them on the platforms of through stations, else trains will reserve (possibly incorrect) paths beyond the station when arriving).

Hmmm without any signals the trains won't crash. Isn't it so, that the second train wouldn't leave the depot?

PS: After you got the main dynamics of the signals you could even create huge constructions :P I love the PBS/YAPP.
