Hello all.
I have a little problem at one end of my route. First of all, the signalling is working like a dream and the AI is behaving itself too. However, because my route converges into single line working at its southern end, I am getting bottlenecks. The end of the route is a considerable distance from this convergence so I need subsequent trains to wait and allow the last train that has gone through to return and re-enter the double line section. There is no other place that trains can leap frog each other, and I don't wish to add another loop further down if I can help it.
Basically, I need a simple rule that sets the last signal on the double line section to danger until the train returns and sets a trigger off to re-set that signal to clear (or automatic). I have tried a few rules off the DLS but they don't seem to do what I require, or seem complicated to use. What I am getting at is I want to stop train B entering the single line if there is already train A using it, becausetrain A will have to return at some point, after reaching the last station on the line. Other than this, my signalling system works perfectly. I have had the comical episode of a DMU impasse, but at least the signals protected the trains and stopped anything catastrophic happening.
Hope you can help. I have already tried 'Static Block Rule' and 'Trigger Multiple Signals' without success. They don't appear to be designed for what I need.
Best wishes,
Padster
