Train 1T43 should stop at platform 4, but passes the platform and stops at the through line. As an attachment, a screen of the situation.

It's covered in the Wiki:

• Drivers will take a clear signal at the middle of the station as an instruction to continue and a red as an instruction to stop there.

Therefore if you want a train to stop in the half before the central scissors, do not set a route from the central signal (either into the other half or over the scissors to the Through Line). Conversely, if you want them to run through platform 1 into platform 4 (or vice versa), do clear the central signal.
• The Through Line counts as “arrived” once a train has passed the central scissors.

The reasons are explained in the manual, but briefly you need to only signal the train to the required stopping place, and set the continuation once it has arrived.
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Cambridge is coded to allow trains booked to stop at P4 to run through to stop at P1 (and vice versa for trains booked for P1 to run through to P4) if the route is set. Not sure if this would also mean that trains would also run past P4 to the through line if the route is set but then I never set the route until TRTS is given so never encountered this in any of my games.

Edit: I really should type quicker!
