Pretty certain that Wolseley to Belair is really Wolseley to Keswick, at least 
a point on the down side of Keswick station just under the road bridge 
,but before Goodwood Junction where there is a "Start CTC sign."
I dont know who controls Mile End Loop though, or where the start of CTC 
begins for Keswick to Crystal Brook.
Pyrenees loop to Belair or Keswick would be a fairly big workload for a 
single controller .
Ive tried a number of times running this section with Train Dispatcher and its 
a busy load on weeknights.
If true it would certainly be the longest single CTC section in the country.
