That's not quite right. Home Signals protect a risk, be it a crossover,
loop or level crossing whatever. So it is quite possble to have a Home
Starter where a Starter also protects a crossover or other risk. 
eg A home Starter is used to protect the crossover for Bi-Directional
sections like Zig Zag to Edgecombe.
