Or the even simpler Bad Dobran solution where trians meet head to head on the single platform! Less signalling units but the ORR^» would never allow it.

Ormskirk? But then that precluded through running ... in effect two lines to the town that happen to terminate at the same station. Use to be the same thing at Chippenham on what is now the platform used by Bristol and Westbury bound trains - though that was before the ORR days and there were other (through) platforms.
