I always find you cant set a route to this signal from the depot, and if you route a train from the depot, (lines 5, 6 and 7,) to waterloo p25 when a train is is in waterloo p25. Are these bugs?

I don't think the first one is a bug, I'm not certain though. As for the second, it means that the platform is not permissive- probably because London Underground platforms aren't much longer than the trains.

Probably deliberately like that to stop a train being held at S24 - where there may be a gap in the juice rail(s) which might result in a train 'gapping'.

24 and 24A are reversing points; there are no routes leading up to them.

The platforms *are* permissive, and I'm having no problem setting a route up to them. However, any train in the platform must be clear of the pointwork in the depot throat.
