They would use Western Junction (south of Launceston) where the Western
Line meets the line from Hobart to Launceston, and it is triangular.
Tamar Junction is the new junction that was built in Launceston for the
Bell Bay/Scottsdale lines as the original junction for Scottsdale ran
towards Launceston station and trains had to reverse in Launceston yard
to head south.
