Default CTRL Breakout

Having now looked at the photos on the CTRL site, I think it is going to be
difficult to get a good view of Annie. Look at the photo at
http://www.ctrl.co.uk/photos/display...39&L=18&SL=151
This was taken last October, looking east, and shows the tunnel portal,
with the ECML running in front of it left to right, and the NLL viaduct
across the top left corner. In the bottom right-hand corner is the
skeleton of the bridge to carry the CTRL over the ECML. This bridge was
pushed into position across the ECML tracks over Christmas, and must now be
very close to the tunnel portal. (The portal is only 65 metres east of the
ECML, according to the CTRL Act.) Also, the bridge skeleton has been
covered, so you can't see inside it any more. In October, when I was last
there, you could see the portal from York Way, but I think the bridge would
now obstruct that view.


So where is Annie going to go, after breaking out? Sounds like it's a
bit crowded there.
