Sorry Maurie but you are using far too many signals. The points would be required but the
SG signals at Seymour Loop and on the down at the Goulburn Rv would be sufficient for SG
moves through the station loop area. The BG arrival signals would suffice for protecting
the loop area from BG trains and the existing BG departure signals would have sg aspects
added. The cost would substantially reduced but again as we have all noted, who would pay.
I still think that if any interest could be created then extending the existing platform
would be best. And don't forget it would have something that the present platform doesn't
have - a road frontage.
