I have been meaning to ask this for a while. Why is there a considerably long distance between the crossover and the platforms at London Bridge? Thanks, Uzair

	If we can have A 244/R 246^A, ODX 246^A/R 246^B, A 246^B/ROD 1, OD 1/ROD 2 then I'm going to have A (7)88/R (7)90^A, NHX (7)90^A/R (7)90^B, A (7)90^B/RNH 1, NH 1/RNH 2 and hang the consequences!

The shaft is still visible, [capped] but it's tell-tale location is visible...
