BAET already answered one question I had about the new points at MG, but I have a few more:
- The radius of the turnout from the facing points attached to the up fast appears to be equal for both diverging routes; does this mean that the points will provide flank protection for platform 6?
- Will the overlaps on the converging starters be extended to accomodate the flank protection offered to the up fast, thus allowing a faster approach to the platforms from Harrow?
- Why was the opportunity not taken to replace the existing crossover from the up fast (Met) to the depot road with new flatbottom rail? One can see that new flatbottom has been very carefully laid right up to the armpit of the trailing points. Is this a matter of "it's not that broken, so don't mess with it?"
- Are any new shunt signals being added to allow wrong-road shunts from platform 6 to Wembley Sidings?
