Sunderland SDG, Forth Branch and Depots

Hi all, quickly flip through the post and think nobody asked these yet so this post was opened.

1-Sunderland SDG:
1.1: The manual doesn't seems mentioning it, how long are these sidings? It seems shorter than GC's HST at least.
1.2: What is the procedure of using these sidings? It seems at least I can't route into these sidings normally from P3 (6212).

2-Forth Branch:
2.1: Was it electrified? How long was it between 503X and 503?

3-Depots:
3.1: For Heaton Depot, does the game really care if I send train to SDG instead of ARR?
3.2: For Tyne Yard, does the game consider USS and MPD IN as two different location or they (IRL) eventually end at the same place?

Thanks!

1.1 - Stand by will look into this.
1.2 - Have no issue routing into either sidings from 6212. If you could provide further information as to your issues?

2.1 Distance between the two is about 400m. It's not wired.

3.1 No, A train can be routed into any of the three depot entry points.
3.2 They are two different locations. Though I don't think the sim will penalise you for this, it is worth noting that electric traction can not enter the MPD line due to insufficient electrical power supply. i.e.. no OHLE.
