We have the following setup, both trains are in automatic mode, and pathing to/waiting at the station. Note that all signals are red!

• Now, if I turn the train at the station into manual mode, nothing changes as expected.
• But, when I turn it back to automatic mode, the following happens:
• The most left signal turns yellow.
• The second train moves forward, but not into the block of the signal that is yellow.
• The signal is now yellow until the train at the station moves.

This makes no sense, since the yellow signal normally means that the train has reserved the block, and that no other train is in the block. However, the first train is in the block, and the second train could enter it since the signal is yellow but is not doing so.

There are two problems.
1) The train always moved a bit when I switched between manual and automatic, which is solved for the next version.
2) The signal itself. It kind of makes sense, because it is reserved, but the next signal is so close, that it is already stopping for the next signal.
