Siddons Lane - the start.

The layout consists of two bay platforms, assessed from the Main Line by a scissor junction & double slip, in the centre of the bays are two through platforms bound for/from the City, the two bay platforms will have an isolated section to allow the changing of locos on the Main Line stock. Cassettes will allow access
