1933 diagram of Colebrook (NAA) - I was surprised to discover there was a triangle (wye) at the location. Long gone now of course. Colebrook (as built) had a turntable shown on the Down side of the platform, this may have been removed quite early or never built as another 1892 plan shows the triangle and no trace of the turntable.
