I understand that the track will be tamped next and that the platform is to be raised to modern height.

Running round is going to be interesting!

One way would be to use two locos. One in a siding which will run in to couple up to an arriving train. On departure the train releases the first loco which then runs out to the siding ready for the next one?

Or have one each end as with normal present day mainline practice.

Presumably they couldnt put a crossing onto the other line as it belongs to Network Rail.

Also its on a different level because of the metal sleepers which incidentally retain the height of the platform (1?) relative to the train.
