That photo is Newcastle station on the route from London to Edinburgh, I think the north end. The track coming off to the right goes to Scotland; the left tracks go across the Tyne and head to Sunderland. The right hand tracks are electric suburban service.
My 1998 track diagram shows that the station now has 6 through roads, 3 tracks going north and 2 crossing the river. This whole track formation is now 3 double slips and a handful of crossovers.
I wonder if the trackwork was not insulated for signals through the special work, just the plain track on each side.
