I'm curious as to why 'Auto' options have been provided for CN6553 & CN6556.

If this option exists on the actual work station then I am assuming it is in connection with the provision of Auto Lower functionality which does not appear to have been provided in the simulation.

As an example I have attached a link to a picture from Croft box (before its move to East Midlands Control Centre) which shows the Auto option at Narborough. Barriers low on approach of a train and the Signaller just needs to check CCTV and press crossing clear. Signals in both directions only clear if 2 trains are approaching simultaneously.

Having run the simulation for slightly longer I have observed that Auto Lower appears to be there in the Down direction but not the Up direction. Not sure if this is intentional or a bug.

Query regarding the Auto buttons remains as if these are used then both routes clear even if only 1 train is approaching and they also reset the route and clear the respective Signal after the train has passed.

Something isn't quite right.
