Hi James
Firstly I made all sections consistant in direction, so the transit would show all Fwd, it makes setting the fwd and rev sensors consistant and therefore which sensors should be checked easier. I rebuilt the transits, hence the actions were destroyed, sorry.
Then I manually edited the masts to check for correct directional sensors.
The icons I added so when running I could check which sensors were active or inactive as the train proceeded round, and also take my time by using a non existing loco, emulating its passage by clicking the occupancy sensors. I think I set the occupancy icon closest to the track and fwd/rev sensors going clockwise. This is by memory as I am not near anything bigger tah a smart phone. Hopefully by manual intervention you meant using the manual throttle in the auto trains window, if you used a real throttle that could lead to the slot in use message.

Thank you for working on this: that is most kind. Firstly, in response
to Dave, here is a screenshot of my train settings:

/g/jmriusers/photo/65718/0?p=Name,,,20,1,0,0

As you will see, I did not have the "reset when done" option selected -
this would obviously cause (and be intended to cause) continuous
running, as the dialogue states. Thank you for clarifying as to the
significance of the block tracking issues.

I am aware that the best signal will be caution in a two train setup on
this layout; but this is not a problem in itself. The problem is the
inconsistent behaviour as described.

Steve - thank you for uploading a modified panel. May I ask: other than
adding the sensor icons (may I ask what the function of these is in
this context?), what other changes are there?

Testing this, I am afraid that the inconsistency is no better (albeit
it is now different).

Initially, when I tried to run two trains ("Haymarket" from the front
and "The London STANDARD" from the rear), the latter refused to
accelerate for some reason, so I terminated both trains, manually drove
"Haymarket" back to its starting location and opened a manual throttle
for "The London STANDARD" to which the train responded correctly.

I then tried to create the automatically driven Active Trains again,
and this time, it worked correctly as it had done the last time that I
tried two trains on this layout (as described in the original post),
save that the action to turn the lights on at the beginning of the run
did not seem to work and the lights remained off.

I ran this a second time using the "restart" option in the Auto Active
Trains dialogue, and the behaviour was identical to the first time.

I then removed "Haymarket" and tried to run "THe London STANDARD"
again. This time, the train moved forward into the right curve and
stopped. The signal for entering the lower straight was at danger for
some reason. The only thing that would clear this was touching
"Haymarket"'s wheels on the track on that section so that the sensor
registered it as occupied then removing it again. Once it did that, the
train then ran at a moderate speed, but kept going and never stopped
until I terminated it manually. Testing this again (using "restart"
with the Auto Active Trains dialogue), exactly the same behaviour was
repeated.

Again, this does not seem consistent with what the documentation
describes should happen in this situation. Have I misunderstood the
documentation in some way, or should I be filing a bug report?

Thank you again for all your help - it is much appreciated.
