Default Terminating in a through platform then returning "wrong direction"

Are there ever occasions during planned or unplanned service

"westbound" on the "eastbound" line in order to access a crossover to
the "westbound" line?

Yes. It definitely happened at a Central London station in the last 10
years, and all of the signs had to be covered up with temporary ones
specifying the other direction. I can't remember where or when, or even
whether I saw it personally or just saw the pictures in Underground News.
