Does anybody have accurate lengths for the platforms as understood by the sim? From Google Earth I got an approximate measurement of 231m for P1 and 174m for P2.

From the actual sim data:
Platform 1 (T4464 and T4465): 246 metres
Platform 2 (T4454 and T4455): 179 metres
Signals K978 and K980 are at the IBJs.

Signal K981 is 84 metres and signal K983 is 117 metres from the end of the platform, again at the IBJ.

These numbers don't allow for stopping distances, of course. It looks like the Rules allow 10 metres for that.

Timetable Planning Rules (and as it turns out the Sectional Appendix) are out of date; both platforms can comfortably take 12 x 20m formations. No Selective Door Opening is required.
