railways with two loops

I like to build my railways such that both ends have a loop where the trains can turn.
however regardsless of what I do, one station it will always say "no path" even if i subdivide the rails with signals.
SOmeone fixed this situation on one map on a public server, so i ask, what is the trick to makig it work?

The station must always be placed on right hand side from the view of the leading locomotive no matter what direction it drives.

I think i did that, i even changed the track from two loops design to single loop, it still doesnt like the station unless i drive the train manually half of the way. Then it drives the last part on auto.

If it's a 2-way track, you must always use 2 signals opposite each other. An unpaired signal turns it into a 1-way track.

Thanks, that (signal pairs) did the trick
