Currently playing on Wimbledon sim (v1.2, loader 4.5.1) and have found that signal 3590 (East Putney) is marked as an automatic signal, however it appears to be a controlled signal (or a semi automatic). Is this right?
Cheers

To add, the signal doesn't TORR When a train approaches it from the District line, they slow down to about 10mph, before the signal clears again automatically (seems to be an approach release), but you have to manually cancel the route if you want to route a train from 360 to 352 (Putney Up line to Putney Reversible)

The operation is correct - I guess semi-automatic is probably the closest fit name for it, but I don't think its plated as such on the ground. It's drawn as a full auto on the panel fascia, but then has NX controls just like any other controlled signal on the panel. There is no auto button provided, instead the signal just re-clears itself as soon as the route is used (as if there was an auto button there, pemanently set to the on position).

The approach-release behaviour is genuine, although the signal will clear immediately if 359 is off.

It's a bit of an odd one, but after lengthy discussions during the sims development it was settled that that was how it should be drawn.
