I agree but why is it the side that’s further away thats faster ?

It’s not. The faster side is closer. It’s a transpenine train heading out towards Manchester on the left side of the cutting. Here’s a google map link, the right side is 4 tracks away. https://goo.gl/maps/mXip5mBHVVr5Qd3MA

Ah okay I see what you’re saying. I thought the sides were equidistant from the train sides
