Charing Cross Renewals

[Western Sunset]

Was watching the Green Signals podcast where Richard Bowker was looking around Charing Cross. I seem to recall that an engineer said that they had reduced the number of point ends from (I think) 18 to 16. Has the layout changed slightly; anyone know?

Switch diamonds changed to fixed, otherwise no change.

Thanks. Forgot that switch diamonds are classed as "point ends". Is each switch diamond considered as two point ends?
