Take a look at theTramlink tracks near Church Street tram stop at this
Google Streetview link: http://goo.gl/maps/3w0p7

What is the advatage of having the point so far from the curve?

If the pointwork was at the divergence, trams could be held blocking
Church Street waiting for them to move. If the points failed, that
blockage could be there a long time. Putting it back where it is means
they don't hold anything up.
