An interesting point. With the technology available in these times
of computers it is highly possible that that sort of supervisory
function is carried out on some Signalling systems.

I have noticed that in the newer bi-directional signalling systems
installed such as on the Up and Down mains past enfield yard that
there seems to be an axle counter at signals controlling the entry
and exit to the sections. 

Could some signalling buff out there enlighten us?
