Covkid Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think there probably quite a few locations but maybe the train needs to be defined as maybe a through train or not. Clearly Middlesbrough-Whitby, reversing at Battersby is a through train, and another I am in mind of is Liskeard - Looe, reversing at Coombe Jn. On a slightly different note the (new) Welsh Highland railway's first years of operations involved a draw back loco pulling the train out of the Portmadoc Harbour curved platform onto the Cob. Then the WHL loco working the train away to Caernarfon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

caradoc Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Carmarthen; Swansea; For a small proportion of the total number of trains, Manchester Airport, Manchester Piccadilly, Glasgow Central. Possibly Stansted Airport; Not sure if any trains actually work through between the two available routes (towards London or Cambridge). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Elaner Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I caught a train from either Tamworth or Nuneaton to Nottingham a few years ago which reversed at Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted October 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) I seem to remember reversing at Ely , coming from Peterborough and then going on to Norwich. So in theory you could come into Ely reverse, go to Norwich reverse, and then Arrive at great Yarmouth the way you came.

Wickham Green Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Great Victoria Street in Belfast has a frequent service reversing between the Portadown and Bangor lines - every half hour during the day : i doubt if any other UK location can match that.

doilum Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Do freight trains count? In the 1990s, after Allerton Bywater colliery closed, a barrel washer was set up on the stacks to recycle previous waste. As all the run round lines had been lifted the class 56 would reverse the 30 odd mgr wagons for the best part of a mile across a roller coaster of a steel viaduct that was slowly subsiding into the floodplain. A brake van was provided so that a second driver / guard could direct operations by radio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doilum Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Castleford. There are no passenger services eastbound. Trains enter from the west and depart in the opposite direction either back to Whitwood junction ( choice of Normanton & Wakefield or via Methley junction to Leeds), or diverting south to Pontefract and Knottingley. This requires some specialist signaling as trains effectively travel the first few hundred metres on the "wrong track". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted October 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2019 Bristol Temple Meads where Cardiff-Portsmouth and Cardiff-Weymouth trains reverse. Don't worry about your English, it's better than my German!!! 4 hours ago, doilum said: Do freight trains count?

A brake van was provided so that a second driver / guard could direct operations by radio. I'd regard this as propelling (authorised in the Sectional Appendix) rather than reversing in the sense I think 37418stag means, where a train arrives from one direction and continues it's journey by departing in the opposite direction on the route it arrived on for a short distance rather than terminating and departing as a different service, but the viaduct sounds like fun...

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted October 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 19, 2019 Some trains reverse at Glasgow Central (high level).

The morning Leeds - Aberdeen HST will reverse, having arrived via the High Level Bridge, to get the 1st Class section at the London end, if required. I am sure that there will be others.
