No matter how I arrange the rails, they always got one extra space.
And I don't want to use long handed inserter because it's very slow.
Robots are also not an option.

Thank you!

Rails align along a 2x2 tile grid, so no you can not get to move the track one tile to the left. I do not know of a real solution for what you are trying to do, but there are several workarounds like long inserter, bots, moded 2x1 chests, moded inserters...

Ahh thanks.
Didn't know this limitation before I start building my railways.
Looks like I have to tear down everything now :0

Rather than use chests in the middle load into something 2 wide like a car or a truck tank.

You can also add a conveyor belt to get an odd number of tiles.

Depending on your research level double long-inserters should still have acceptable speed. And if you want really high-thoughtput trains i recommend not cross-loading train-to-train at all.

If it's his first station he probably doesn't have express belts yet to at least partially compensate the loss of stack bonus.

Yeah - using belts wouldn't quite give you the same speed, but in a setup like that if you use belts you would be able to unload and load on both sides as well, which would actually result in a net increase in speed.
