Shunt Group
First time player, finally got enough red points to get to both T1 shunt command, not quite sure how I should set it up even I had already saw the tutorial on how to use shunt signal, the shunt group had no tutorial and the thumbnail quick reference is so tiny.....

This is my set up and I will attempt to explain what I am trying to do here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3451113467

Still expanding eastward so there is nothing beyond Osaka at this point, just a few platform and a loop to turn trains westbound.
My current thought is the regional trains are all coming from Amasaki, I had automated all finished trains to go to Osaka1/4 and loop back from the east to Osaka 3 and into the first shunt command, which is
1.Go to the dead end coming out Osaka 3, reverse at the end of the rail.
2.Back into one of the waiting area to the north, reverse again.
3.Wait until 3 minutes before departure time and move onto the rail connecting Amasaki1 and Osaka2, the arriving signal will then kick the train back onto the correct platform.

Is there a signal that can tell the train "if you passed this signal do all of the following commands" ? I can only see individual shunt command for each train

I have been doing this manually before I had enough points, but now I don't know how to actually set it up, if this set up is possible then I can build it to other stations.

Take a look at my brief about regional trains here:

I have made it like 90% complete but I had a small problem at the end, I don't know how to end a shunting command that will not result in the train stopping at the last given signal.

(referring to the image on the top, under that Reg431 is where I put the arrival signal that will kick it onto the planned platform on Amagasaki.

My plan is having the end of the shunting command kicking the train back onto the automated grid with a arrival sensor that will automatically send it to whatever platform it need, but if I put the last shunting command on the auto signal that is connected to the arrival sensor it seemed to override it and causing the train to stop there forever.

If I put the end of shunting command at the end gate of the holding area, it will also just stand there until I release it manually back into the grid.

(I am looking into ending the command with a Reverse command that seemed to not causing it to stop dead and thus enabling it to move forward and trip another signal that is not in the shunting command so that it can act normally after the final reverse command, but I probably need to rework the whole thing if thats the case.

You should be able to end shunting at a signal (go to signal). It won't trigger the sensor as its driving over it, because it is in shunting mode, but as soon as the train stops at this signal the sensors automation should kick in - guiding it onto the platform.

This works with arrival, relay and routing sensors afaik. As long as it is connected to the signal you end shunting at.

So I think the problem is that my arrival signal is 2 square away from the actual auto signal(to give the signal some time to switch in the track so that the train don't need to slow down,
the shunting train ran over and away from the arrival signal before the shunting command stops and so the arrival signal cannot tell the train to continue(it tries to tell it to switch but the train never respond to it.

Thanks for the help anyways, I managed to make the system work by ending the signal in a reverse signal so that the train drive forward and trips the signal in the grid.
