<p>Meowsqueak: </p> <hr /> <div>I have problems with the load balancing station entry (2 to 6). <br /> The double signs just in front of the platform entrance allow trains to exit the station at the same side they entered.<br /> I use RoRo stations, and most of the time there is no problem because trains can leave from the other side.<br /> But with breakdowns enabled, trains get confused and leave from the front.<br /> <br /> Any suggestions?<br /> <br /> &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> The 2-2 load-balanced merge has a potential deadlock situation - a green train just before the last signal to join B from 1 will cause the combo two-way signal on B to go red but it will not cause the exit signal (on the square that the 'B' is above) to go red. Therefore a blue train on B can enter this block and stop at the combo. This causes the combo signals on the 1 sideline to go red, stopping the green train. Now both trains are at red signals and the junction is permanently jammed. A similar thing can happen at the 2-B intersection also.</div>
