Direction Markers and AI

Direction Markers and AI - SOLVED

I am currently using Trainz on iPad. It is mainly double track. I have placed many direction markers but when in driver and I ask the AI to navigate to one of my portals which is in the opposite direction, it begins to drive in reverse, but it shows it going forward on the dcc. so I sent it to somewhere in the opposite direction and it went forward and showed it going forward on the dcc. Also when it reversed it went along the track and switch lines.
I made sure the driving direction of the train (in surveyor) war the right way. when in driver it just seems to ignore it...
has anyone got any ideas/solutions, anything I might have missed?

Are the direction markers the right way around? They are kinda counter-intuitive. They should be like this...

..on the track you DON'T want the AI to use. In the shot above AI trainz approaching from the bottom will always take the left route through the turnout.

Hmm...
The direction arrows point in the direction I want the Train to go in...

oh well, if you don't know, it's alright, it's the first version, it hasn't been updated yet.

Then they are backwards. Think of them as a 'No Entry' sign rather than a direction marker...

Hmm... I switched them round but no luck. Does it need a signal

I finally got it working. I placed the Track Direction Marker POINTING in the direction of where I want it to go, both before and after the train, but also where it turned around I placed some direction arrows and that's it, I got it working. thanx for your help!
