Kings Norton - the Camp Hill and West Suburban lines come together at the
station as two routes, and then to the south the two inner tracks cross over
to give DS, DF, UF, US. The layout through the station is (in effect) DS,
US, DF, UF - except that the only platforms used are the DS and UF. I'm not
sure what the Up platform line is actually designated. But it's a right
mess, that couldn't be sorted out cheaply.
