I'm playing Peterborough chained to Kings Cross and Donny South. Furbanks called to cross I said call back after next train when 1A44 was at P368, Abbots Ripton on the Up Fast. It's passed clear of Furbanks with no call back Screenshot and Saved before and after.

The strike-in point for Furbanks on the Down Slow is the end of P317 overlap. Since 1P32 was past that when 1A44 cleared the crossing, the "another train coming" logic kicked in.

Is that logic applicable when considering the actions of the caller at the LC? They would presumably not know of the second train approaching and would ring back in any event leaving the signaller to give them another "ring back after the next train" response.

They would presumably not know of the second train approaching and would ring back in any event leaving the signaller to give them another "ring back after the next train" response.That's an interesting question. The realism argument I would make is that the caller would see that the miniature lights are still red, so would wait a short while before phoning, at which point they'd be able to hear or see the second train coming, so would wait for it to pass. The implementation reason is that MWLs are implemented as AHBs with a simpler barrier logic, so "second train coming" - even on a 4-track line - comes for free. Someone sensible isn't going to phone with the barriers still down. (Yes, I know not everyone is sensible, but I couldn't be bothered to simulate that.)
