Short loop onto main


Recommended Posts

What is the purpose of the very short loop from 04:00. I see no signalling along it, why not just straight onto the main?

 

An overlap, or maybe something to do with the line trailing in from the right?

The loop allows the connection on the main lines to be used while something is running off the branch, this is Harringay Junction and the crossover allows access to Hornsey EMU sidings, presumably the traffic requirements required the ability to run off the branch (flyover) at the same time as one was heading into the sidings
