I can understand why the B Fan are seen as redundant, as they have always been a bit of design weakness of the yard.
But I struggle to understand why the C Fan tracks are seen as more valuable than the reception sidings adjacent to the mainline.
Looking at an aerial photo, the C Fan tracks are only around 450m in length. Surely if one is wear a cost-cutting hat one would abandon Fan C in favour of the seven Fan A rception tracks, which are 750m-plus in length.
