1. Run into southbound platform, detrain, driver changes ends, train into siding, driver changes ends, out of siding, into northbound platform, driver changes ends, train back in service! Called a double shunt IIRC. 2. Warren Street may not be usable because it may be in the section where current has been discharged. |

Possibly, but it sometimes takes a while to do. in these situations, the suspension area often reduces sometime after the initial event, once the section switches have been operated. |

Did BAET's BCV buddies design and install a temporary mod for the site, in anticipation of a permanent installation for the new signalling? |

Interesting - could have sworn there was a shunt signal there. Most centre sidings on the network have wrong road shunt signals to get into them, I believe. Am prepared to stand corrected though. There would then be no way of reversing trains from south to north at Kings Cross. Would have needed to use Highbury to reverse them. |

Highbury was the reversing point from the off, although it was a while before it was officially announced as such. Kings Cross can only reverse North to South, not vice versa, so quite why service was originally quoted as terminating there I don't know. |

Later on, they changed the suspension to Highbury to Victoria.
