Is there enough time?

Hmmm... How about this: if we shorten the adaptor module to 579 mm, then we are getting future-proof. When we will make a mirrored second set of diversion modules, we will make the total yard length a multiple of the standard module length.
This comes at a price though: the minimum radius of the yard entrance is now 310 mm, down from 353 mm. It is tight, but all our rolling stock should be able to negotiate it, including Terry's BR-01.
