Obviously you want access off the flyover, and that will require use of
the headshunt. But why force the double reverse on anything coming out
of the south side of Paddy?

The layout at Shenfield is equally curious:

Why is the Southend down diveunder connected solely to the Crossrail
up platform?

Because Crossrail will start from Shenfield, with no direct
connections beyond that point? (Just a guess, please note!)

That's an interesting diagram, to be sure; Crossrail running on
the existing 'Metro' route, which currently timetables at a train
every 10 minutes between Shenfield and Liverpool Street. And it
should be interesting to see how they intend to add another
platform, given that the station is built on an embankment... I
make that what would presumably be platform 6 is built over the
station booking hall and the main road! (For those who don't know
Shenfield, it currently has 5 platforms; the new one is the one
at the top, nearest the 'Shenfield Station' label...)

Can you spell 'disruption'? ^_-
