There was a description in Modern Railways a couple of months ago of how very low speed turn outs cause problems on the WCML, with the length of the freight train adding to the issue, as the back of the train has to clear the points before it can accelerate again. (And again at the end of the loop in those cases - not relevant here of course).
So I do wonder whether adding just a mile or so of track and having a high enough speed turn out might make enough difference.
