Reversing and so on... (11.5)

[Junna]

Now it seems that trains reversing at a station, with a waypoint before it, will ignore the signal before the station and drive right up onto the train in the station. This is even more cumbersome than the previous problems.

I am not sure, but it is happening at a site where it never happened before; those are trains on the same line with the same schedule that enter a station where the trains are waiting for schedule.

I have found and fixed this on the 11.x branch - thank you for the report.

In tracking down the problem, I have also made one or two other changes: no longer will trains have to come to a stop to be given an alternative route by a choose signal. In stations, trains will reserve most of the platform when they reverse (which should prevent an issue earlier identified by Carl where reversing and non-reversing trains share a platform). If a player accidentally uses the route setting tool to cancel a route in a platform by a train occupying it (or a bug causes this to happen), other trains will nonetheless refuse to enter that platform (or piece of track) whilst another train is there. Finally, trains will now no longer set a route out of platforms until they have finished reversing, which should help to prevent blockages.
