Miller 298 offers a useful proposal to correct the line-work in this section, whereby the coast road (which I have drawn blue) would be shifted downwards so as not to cut through Aquae Appollinaris and part of the line-work above this must also shift down, in effect taking the station Ad Novas out of what I have drawn as an olive-green line and putting it in the thin black line.
