You need to have them in separate nets. Do you really need to use a
range as large as /8?

No, I can rearrange it and have done so to get it working. I was just
surprised that the routing did not work as I expected when the traffic
flows fine from the branch1 to the main site, crossing the branch0 site.
It's only when accessing branch0 that the packets seem to not follow the
routing table.

Well, if you're trying to send to a network which is within the larger
range (but has a different gateway, in this case over a tunnel), I
believe the place they end up depends on the metric, and if that is the
same for both I'd hazard a guess it uses which ever one is first in the
routing table. This would be the case if your original mail was correct.<br>
<br>
If your second mail is correct re: the IP ranges, the reason it works
fine to main is that that's effectively the only route you've added
(according to your update) - as branch0's range actually matches the
"main" network the traffic is going down that way instead of stopping
there.<br>
<br>
I'd suggest if this is a test for two branch offices to create one
tunnel from each branch to main, and if required another one between
the two branches.<br>
<br>
