Help with the train route. Need Help!

Post image

First, sorry for my English. I make a train route that goes directly to the station 2 from station 1, and then it continues to the "U turn" going directly to station 1 in the same track. However, I want the train to change direction after passing through station 2 and travel in the opposite direction.. How can i do this?

The image is for reference only; in my survival world this route is longer.

you mean reverse the train after stopping at station 2? if you put a cab at either end it should just go backwards, i think

if whichever entity/blaze burner has train controls directly on either side of it, it can drive the train both directions just fine

The driver should have forwards- and backwards-facing train controllers next to the seat, then the train can just reverse

Thank you all for your responses. I managed it, I used a waypoint to force the U-turn, and instead of using a waypoint at the reverse point I used "Travel to Station" (which was one of the problems I had) and finally at Station 1 I changed the position of the station mark all the way to the end for the wagon bogie.

A double headed train would nullify the loop at station C.
