Hello,

i have 10 trainstations (all have the same name) and 10 trains (all have the same destination).
5 of my stations are on the bottom of my terrain and 5 are on the top of my terrain.
the trains have to travel to the next free station.
but when (example) the bottom 5 are have trains then the 6th train dont drive to the free station at the top. He wait for a free station at the botton.
the top and bottem have an long distance.

When i cut the way to the bottom, my train drive to the top stations.

Wy it is so?

PS: Sorry for my English

can you provide a savegame or screenshot?
maybe you placed wrong signals.

Hello,

i have attached an Image and an savegame

You can see there are two Trains they will drive to "Kohle Bunker In" but no station is free.
But at the top of the map there are free stations named "Kohle Bunker In". But the trains dont drive.

When i cut the way to tho bottom "Kohle Bunker In" then they drive to the top stations.

Trains do not are not intend to just go to the next free station, they go to the station that is most attractive for the pathfinder. NaB.

Hello,

That means, I have to build the two bunkers directly next to each other?

If that would mean having double the amount of stations then the size might be so big that the top and bottom stations would be ignored. Not sure how you exactly set this up, but in general having fewer stations and instead a holding bay as buffer in front is the better method.
