I stand to be corrected but don't think there are any
[Tyne & Wear Airport Extension] LC that are not at
stations, and therefore the train is always stationary
with the driver able to sight the LC before he sets off again.

That only works in one direction!

I think at these stations the platforms are actually staggered each
side of the crossing, so in fact it works in both directions, John!
