The next question is, is there a legitimate reason why a train could
exit the bay on a green light and go down the wrong line? If there
is, then there wouldn't be any interlocking to prevent it.


If there was a legitimate reason why a train could exit the bay there
would be signals to control the moves.

Eg, do trains ever come out of the bay and then reverse to head for
Barking sidings? I can't see any possible operational reason for
doing that (would just terminate at Barking in the first place), but
is it signallable?
