Ok, my bad, probably getting my years confused……..not going this time anyway so will enjoy reading about it 😬 I always avoid any of it by using the ramp behind the West on to Village Way.
No - East standers to trains go past the North stand, West Standers to coaches also go past the North but obviously in the opposite direction, hence the usual crush behind the North. Palace will be kettled (presumably) down the West side to the station for the Shitsville Express.
