My point being why build out the platform on the bay side as Mark shows in his diagrams? Why not just fit steps/a ramp? - The branch line doesn't have to continue - just seems pointless building it out.
In post #50?
Even if it's meant literally, I'm not sure you need to take it to be so - I'd draw it like that myself if I wanted to signify building over the trackbed behind the buffer stops.
It is essentially the same net impact - although I sense perhaps you are advocating building it as a proper island and then adding access arrangements that can be theoretically removed in case anyone in the future decides Gunnislake to Tavistock is an important flow that needs to be run concurrently with Tavistock to Plymouth? That may be future-proofing in a little too much detail a little unnecessarily?
We can probably get away with just not building anything on the former trackbed.
EDIT:By that last sentence I mean not building anything permanent (ie no buildings) above where the track went to be. I doubt you'd build a new building here anyway, so I think we're safe.
