As someone who's worked for several of the UK rail companies since BR, I loved the fact that DTG added approach control from red signalling to TSW3. It is just a little too restrictive.
The game's default behaviour forces you down, and to remain at approx 15mph for some distance before the signal steps up, sometimes bringing you to a near stand.
Most locations on routes I signed with 15mph-25mph turnouts and approach release signals will (when the route is cleared) check you down then release with a route indicator around 180-200yds before the signal, if you're driving to a defensive driving policy of 20mph over the AWS magnet.
I've altered the timed track circuit length so it behaves more like my experiences.
Installation Instructions
Drag the selected pak to your TSW3 DLC folder.

Great mod! Only after installing this did I fully realize just how restrictive the default is.
Will there be a similar mod for the Cross-City Line at some point?
Thankyou! The approach control in X City seems to be technically more advanced that SEH. It's already pretty good IMO
Ok, I've added a mod for Cross City now.
I honestly can't judge exactly how realistic the approach control is since I haven't seen it IRL, but it seemed more restrictive than SEH with your mod.
Thank you for adding the second mod!
