Thanks Colin
That looks like what we need.

I suspect in the dim and distant past this junction was re-engineered to
ease traffic flow, my memory goes back about 30 years and it has not
changed in that time. Looking at it on the ground, that is clearly what
has happened, the right turn from Main Street would have been evil at
rush hour. 

I will investigate through_route further.

Thanks
Phil
