Spoiled my session!

Roger's suggestion above worked, so thank you! It is not quite intuitive to switch the instrument to normal with a train in section. I have run Exeter before, but only with the old-style controls for the section.

I always wait until the train clears the single line, then restore the instrument to normal and click the 'Arr' button, which works fine. As you say, it just doesn't seem right restoring the instrument to Normal when a train is in section.

3.2 When the train has arrived

When the train has occupied and cleared the track circuit beyond your home signal, you must:
•place the home signal to danger
•place the acceptance switch to normal.

When the train arrives, complete with tail lamp, you must operate the train arrived button and check that the block indicator is restored to normal.

If it is necessary to operate the train arrived button before the last vehicle of the train passes your signal box, you must make sure the train has arrived, complete with tail lamp, before doing so.

You must keep the acceptance switch at normal until the train has passed beyond the clearing point.

The real life regulations are as follows:

While train in section between Honiton and Pinhoe, right click on Normal/Accept Indicator to reset indicator to Normal. When train arrives Pinhoe and clears single line section click on Arr - that works for me.
