White City signalling question

Whether the middle or E/B roads are occupied or not trains can be drawn up to and held at the second colour light signal. When a train leaves the middle road and the section becomes clear the points can then be switched for that route instead of the normal E/B platform. An arrow on the route indicator tells the driver which road he is being given. The actual inner home signals are BMBs at the beginning of each platform. The first colour light signal is there to hold E/B trains when another train is leaving the siding and is going into the E/B platform. It provides a safe braking distance should it be passed at danger. Trains bound for the middle road or E/B platform can be routed there well in advance of their arrival so long as the sections are clear of other trains at the time.

Thanks for the reply. I'm surprised that a train can draw up so close to points which can change ahead of the train. So the facing points are not taken into account in the overlap distance for the second signal, just the potential fouling points (diamond crossing, trailing points ahead of EB platform, or rear of train in platforms)?
