I'm not sure what a driver sees here - but the layout is such that it
is an 8car platform but ahead of that the loop continues long enough
to hold a 4car unit but without an overlap from the platform starter.

IIMU in that scenario the home main aspect can't clear for an
approaching train - so if a 4car were berthed beyond the platform, an
8car would get the call on sub.

Would a driver be required to contact the signaller in all cases i.e.
where a berthed unit may or may not be in the platform or beyond it ?
