i always do it this way: perm L in L1 of nearest sw. switched L in L2. then 3 core to intermediate, join common link with choc block. strappers in int; sw. then on to 2nd 2way.

 

[king_11]

By 3 core to intermediate Telectrix means: brown of 3 core connected com to com, grey (sleeved brown) from L1 to L1, Black (sleeved brown) L2 to L2. Com in the int switch has to be chock blocked in the back box.
