<div dir="ltr"><div>I've certainly found that in most large shopping centres/malls etc., support elements are usually regularly spaced, and at least estimating what this spacing is & using it to correlate with features observable from outside can help refine positioning.

Part of the problem is that a lot of the track radius is out of view. I expect by using the NR concourse plan as a starting point you would get a better alignment using the escalator locations.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a name="1500623561f8c500__MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> Brian Prangle [mailto:<a href="mailto:bprangle@gmail.com" target="_blank">bprangle@gmail.com</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> 25 September 2015 13:57<br><b>To:</b> talk-gb-westmidlands; Talk GB<br><b>Subject:</b> [Talk-gb-westmidlands] New St station platform alignments<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Does anyone know whether the alignment of the platforms under the concourse is based on anything other than pure guesswork?
