Once stopped at Ely North Junction in the 2003 timetable, why does the train not change direction to propel into the sidings?

How do you get the train to go into the sidings as it comes from Peterborough so can't route it directly into the sidings unlike if it came from Soham.

Help would be great, thanks

use shunt signal 771 then click the arrow it should reverse automatically but if it dont set the route from either 303 or 305 to 771 then 771 to the triangle symbol, then F2 and instruct it to reverse. but you shouldent need to

Doesn't work, the train insists it must stop at 296 or 298 signal and refuses to change direction automatically.

Part of the problem is then train is 390m and is too long to fit between 298 and 303 signals or 296 and 305 signals - managed to resolve it by setting the route over the Kiln Crossing then it automatically did change direction, I don't like having to do that.

Whether or not you like it, that's the correct action. The train has got to be completely behind a signal before it can reverse.
