It's a moot point as it isn't happening, but if the four-tracking could be extended westwards from Huddersfield you could have simultaneous departures and arrivals in both directions. But then you'd just be pushing the crossover issue to Marsden, and I think we're agreed that any NPR tunnel would be north of the existing railway, not south. Unless you dive under before Marsden and cross underneath the existing railway (and Standedge Tunnels)...Yes- the slow lines will be furthest from the main entrance using platforms 4 (currently 8) and 5 (newly constructed). Not sure what the plan is regarding the conflicting moves highlighted by @Halish Railway , but as everything will stop at Huddersfield anyway (so speeds will be lower) a relatively simple crossing move twice an hour shouldn't be too much of a problem.
