[BUG]? Choose signal sends train to occupied platform

I have seen a choose signal send to a train to an occupied platform, even though an unoccupied platform is available. It may well be because there is something wrong with my signalling layout  :-[, but I thought that this might be helpful feedback since you (James) changed the Choose Signal code yesterday.

I was originally playing this game with a modded executable (last night's community version, but with Ranran's recent improvements added). But it reproduces in exactly the same way with last night's nightly (#b4e7900).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new pakset directory to make sure that you don't mess up your normal pakset:

  • In Windows, create a pakset directory called Pak128.Britain-Ex-235 and copy the nightly pakset into it.
  • In Linux, create a symbolic link to your nightly pakset, called Pak128.Britain-Ex-235.
2. In both cases, download my addons from here and unpack the file into your Addons folder.
3. Download this save and put it into your saves directory.
4. Start Simutrans-Extended with the 235 pakset and addons.
Quote from: TroubleshootingIf Sim-Ex crashes, it is probably because the addons have not loaded due to a separate issue. Check whether with_private_paks = 1 in \Pak128.Britain-Ex-235\config\simuconf.tab. In Linux, this may require you to replace the symbolic link with a complete copy of the Pak128.Britain-Ex pakset.  ::'(
5. Load "Choose signal to occupied platform.sve".
6. Follow train 1309.
7. At approximately 00:22, the choose signal at (221,991,0) will send convoy 1309 to the far platform at Little Garelock Dock, which is already occupied by convoy 2326.

I have discovered that the cause of this was an error that I made in my signalling layout. The signal before the Choose Signal was a station signal. I apologize for wasting your time, James.

Thank you for re-checking this, and do not worry about wasting my time: as it happens, I do not believe that I had got around to looking into this.
