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.

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!
