On the TAR you have to stop to enter the loop, i,e, stop to push the
button to change the points (at the moment - maybe they will install
DICE now that ARTC have some on their tracks). I have seen the second
train at a cross wait at the "arrival home signal" until the first train
has come to a stand before departing even if the other train has already
got in clear and is just moving along the loop.

You are probably right. In fact it is more of a bit of double line than
a crossing loop.
