I must say, the only only logical rationalisation seems to be a retraction back to using just the reception roads. After all, DBS still needs the capability to 'hold' Channel Tunnel trains, and, therefore, I'm sure the company will indeed carry on using these 750m-plus tracks in preference over the shorter Fan C tracks.
If the Fan C tracks do fall out of use, I'm not sure this ought to be seen as any major loss.
A more worrying development is the moth-balling of the Trafford Park terminal. Is DBS is not able to drum up enough Channel Tunnel traffic from the Manchester area then things must be bad.
