Out of curiosity, can anyone who knows more about trains than I tell me why it was necessary to bend the LRT tracks away from the freight alignment, towards the buildings right in front of Coras before the merge back together?  It seems like it achieves nothing, it uses more space, but also decreases the radii of the track curve.

It was the only way to get a station there. The freight needs more clearance from stations than LRVs and gauntlet tracks weren't a viable option there
