Answer: No, permission from the control operator is required.

Feedback:
It depends on which way the train is moving. While the signals cannot change aspects while within the control points, the switch can be lined for a different route. Since the trailing end of this train is stopped between the outer opposing absolute signals of a control point or manual interlocking, the movement must not change direction without permission from the control operator.
