I agree that the plaforms on the direct line were late additions: first to
be provided was the down bidirectional one, then later the other.  But the
map suggests that Shipley *is* on the route from Leeds to Hellifield but is
*not* on the route from Bradford to Hellifield.  That doesn't make any sense
to me, even having regard to the possibility of the use of out-of-date base
maps.
