Based on the same software as used in the previous video, we now add a condition that passenger trains always go to station North lane 1 and cargo trains always to lane 2 or 3. This can be done by:
1. Create EEP-routes for e.g. 'passenger' and 'cargo' trains
2. Allocate these EEP-routes to trains to create different 'train types'
3. Add a memory_signal (we already had some spares)
4. Add a block to the Block Table for the 'new' train type.
5. Add 'multi-block' numbers (reserve 2 blocks i.s.o. 1)
6. Modify the Route Table (passenger train has new block)
7. Place extra 'available' sensor for route 'passenger'
8. Modify existing sensor: route 'cargo'
