Evening all.Apologies if this question has been asked and answered previously, but I notice that the LNER services to/from Harrogate arrive and depart from Platform 3. But looking at Open Rail Map, there doesn't appear to be a crossover anywhere near Harrogate to allow for a train from the Leeds direction to access Platform 3, only the centre stabling line.
Would i be correct in thinking this must be an error or glitch with Open Rail Map given the ECS movement between the station and the siding where the set stables is only scheduled to take 2 minutes which would appear to rule out the shunt that would be required to move to the siding from Platform 1?

Thanks.

A 20 mph facing crossover, south of the station, from the Down to Up Harrogate at 17m 13ch was put in about 4 years ago to facilitate direct access to platform 3.

Way too far north of 75A
There's a Facing crossover just beyond Station Bridge in the Leeds direction. I'm guessing a train might come from Leeds, cross over approaching the station and then move forward into the siding.

Thanks, all.
Haven't been to Harrogate for a while and thought it must be an error on Open Rail Maps.

This is correct.
