There appears to be something that I am misunderstanding.

According to the manual several crossings controlled by the South workstation auto lower. But they don't seem to want to. So what am I doing wrong?

When reporting an issue, please provide save games and not a screen shot, we can't tell anything from a screenshot.

I can partially reproduce this with some test trains. trains which approach the crossing with the route already set will trigger Meaford and Aston crossings to lower, however if the route across Meaford after the train has passed beyond SOT260 at Barlaston the crossing auto lower fails to operate. in other words the route has to be set very early. I'm not find this to be a problem with the other listed crossings.

edit: issue occurs after Passing SOT264, not 260

Oops, sorry. For some reason I totally forgot. It's happened quite a few times. I've attached a save at 07:10 in which train 1R15 approaches shortly after 07:15.

So, are you saying that if I set the route early enough, in either direction, they will lower as per the manual?
I'll give it a try.

The crossings aren't an issue if you set the routes far enough in advance, so all is well.

Hope that I didn't waste too much of anyone's time.
