There is a barrier Level Crossing in Tilgate Sidings that the sim does not show. Does anyone know how the level crossing is controlled? Who/What operates the crossing?

This level crossing is controlled by the depot Panel at Three Bridge depot itself

You can see the controls in this picture.

Thank you. I work next door to the Siemens depot and never knew this panel existed. Interesting that Siemens did not go for a softer option and use their West Cad system as they own the depot. Looking at the archaic magnetic stickers to indicate trains. If they indicate the unit numbers, as they appear to do, there must be a board somewhere with a magnetic stciker for every Class 700 unit number on (115 units). A workstation for this would have taken up much less space too.
