It would need some careful management of what is displayed on departure screens and on the front of the train.
OK,thanks for the local knowledge.Otherwise, it seems completely unfeasible because the compulsory purchase costs involved with rebuilding such a junction must be huge and it's questionable whether a compulsory purchase order would even be granted. Unless some of it is still railway land?
It looks like the residents of the trading estate have 99-year leases from 1974,with quite large rents and the estate owners bought it for £1.4 million in 1974 I think, so,with inflation,even compulsory purchase of one building would be expensive. Is there any room for reversing sidings to the side of the MML,where remaining track joins the southbound MML,where Leicester bound trains could reverse into, then reverse out onto the northbound MML back towards to Leicester and vice versa in the other direction.It would be a massive operational headache of course, but it might be a cheaper option to get the line reopened at first and,if passenger numbers started booming,the proper junction could be restored.
It sounds like we have the sane idea-although I don't know what impact it would have on journey times and path availability on the MML may be another barrier.
