There are many photos of Standard stock trains with 'Stratford' on the destination. This was after the extension from Liverpool Street. Where did these trains reverse and how?

If I recall correctly, there was a temporary crossover just outside the Leyton tunnel portals, at a location known as Drapers Field. |

Draper's Field - ran empty after Stratford, popped out of the tunnel, reversed and picked up people at Stratford again Service lasted 4/12/46 - 4/5/47 as the extension to Leytonstone opened on 5/5/47, perhaps?

Suprisingly, Drapers Field is still listed on the BRS code map.

This thread may help shed some more light on the subject.
