On Traksy right now it looks like there are detonators on the Euston approach. Feels strange; what are they protecting?

Item 19 possession protection seems the more likely reason. B and C lines are open to traffic.

That’s it. Used to indicate possession limits on the Train Describers.

And, they won't be physically in the station, but wherever the protecting limit commences. Without looking the possession will most likely be up to the respective buffer stops, at the other end.

The location of the dets in the Tracksy image is from a standard possession where Lines A & X are blocked but platforms 1-7 (Low Side) are open.
