Apologies for not making that clearer. If someone cared to take it up that would be good. It might be interesting to email Network Rail about the discrepancies in their documents and see what they say. If no one looks at it I should be able to pick it up later, but I have a lot on for the next few weeks and it was bugging me that I couldn't get this one sorted earlier - I was also interested to see that the official documents were wrong and contradictory. I have found other places where the twin/single track diagrams are wrong from Network Rail.
