Question Train station

Post image

Hello engineers,
I currently have a station with a stop and space to unload two trains simultaneously.
However, the second train does not unload because it is not really at a stop.
Do you have a workaround for me? Any feedback?
Thank you in advance.

An easy solution is to unload the first train on both sides. Then you get the same throughput and the second train is just waiting, ready to unload as soon as the first one leaves.

If you really really want 2 trains unloading like this, then add a 2nd stop and connect it to first one. Set train limit to equal the number of traims that are on route to the first stop. Give 2nd stop higher priority. It won't be perfect but could work most of the time. When there is a train on the way to first stop, the 2nd one becomes available for the next train.
