Not quite, but it's straight-ish enough imho to not need to worry about
guard's siting distance. I'd expect that in peak event times there will be
relay station staff with vests and flags much like what's used at certain
CBD stations during peak times (Central Platforms 16/17 in the morning,
18/19 in the evening, and Town Hall at certain times, maybe Wynyard too) to
give clear indications to the guard and control room person.

Regards,

Craig.
