The train waiting in front of the station is still occupying the block (indicated with the red rectangle). There is no train in its way, so why does it stop? Look at the arrows (if you select a signal you get this view!). So I saw some people use this kind of crossing and wondering why the train on the upper track can't go through. This easy 2 platform station with just one pre-signal will avoid blocking your station entries. The block remains free for the trains in the station to leave it. Even before the train arrives the arrow below the signal is red, so it won't let the train enter the block in front of the station. So the pre-signal doesn't "look around the corner" to the signal at the exit of the block in front of the station). In this game they work like the normal signals with one addition: They will look at the next normal signals and only give a green light if at least one of the following signals is green (note here, that only the signals in front of the station count and both of their arrows are red. To solve this the pre-signals are needed. However, if a third train arrives it will enter the free block and just stop at one of the signals in front of the station: The green arrow in front of the signal also tells us that. That is because the block (indicated with the red rectangle) in front of the station is free. Here 2 trains are in the station and the first signal is still green. So this is a very basic station with just normal block signals and a train entering it.
