I went and had a look last night.

The track from Platform 4 goes straight through one double track tunnel.
The track from Platform 3 goes straight through the same double track tunnel.
The track from Platform 2 has a bend in it where a set of points could go, with
the track going straight through the other double track tunnel, and the other
part of the fork without track goes to a single track tunnel which goes up and
over the top of the double track tunnel..
The track from Platform 1 goes straight through the same double track tunnel as
the track from Platform 2.

I took a few digital photos, which I will get around to putting up one day...
