AI trains problems in timetable mode

Thanks for the reply.

I have edited the .tdb file and changed station names to be common for all platforms for that particular station which is always better. This also meant that I had to change the timetable to specify the correct station name. This has resolved the issue. (I did back up the original route .tdb file though).

Yes.


Yes.


No, not when using passing path.
Best option is not to use passing path but fixed paths (perhaps with wait command). If the timetable defines that trains are to pass at this station, there is no need to use passing paths.

The reason for using the passing path is that, it seems more flexible. On a single line route, with a station with 2 platforms, one crossing train (train A) has a stop, while the other (train B) does not. The train B reaches the station (on the main line) first, halts at red signal and occupies the "platform" allotted for the train A. I could have obviously allotted the other platform for the train A, but the loop platform line has a restricted speed limit and I would prefer that if there is no crossing train from the other direction, the train A halts on the main line platform rather than going into the loop line. (in case I make timetable changes, I prefer this flexibility)
