Imagine an third train and platform in your setup (on its way back from the power plant). With your proposal, the train in the depot would claim a path upto the signal at the right-bottom, blocking the way for the 3rd train to enter its platform at the coal mine.

Due to the position of the depot, the station at the coal mine is in fact a bi-direction station (it should accept trains from both directions). Such a station normally has platforms that are safe waiting point for trains from both directions, by having bi-directional path-signals at both sides.

If you add such signals, the train will leave the depot (and only claim a path upto the end of the platform, rather than include some additional tiles beyond the station). Alternatively, you can move the depot to the other side of the station. Then all trains enter from just one direction and your problem is solved too.

yes, the setup is certainly not optimal, but that is a secondary point that has nothing to do with the bug.

It does not work either, as well as its fix:

summary: (svn r19286) -Fix (r18648): [YAPP] If reversing at path signals was disabled, a train would not reverse when hitting the back of an one-way signal.

Attached a save game created with r18648 for easier testing if needed.
