Both A and B at SPILL are used at weekends, although things do not
seem fixed from one weekend to the next, it depends on what actual
work is taking place.


Thankyou. My surprise was not at the bi-directional working but that one
train could catch up with another when both (presumably) used the same
southbound platform at Kentish Town and the second one must wait for the
crossover points to be changed after the first one. Does the
bi-directional working extend as far north as Dock Junction and Kentish
Town?

Indeed. What needs to be changed are the signs at SPILL clearly indicate
the platforms for "Northbound" and "Southbound". This is very misleading
when both platforms are for northbound services, as happens most
evenings and weekends.


Agreed. Further, there are no signs above platform level at SPILL which
indicate intermediate stops so, if there is a choice of platform,
passengers have to memorise the timetable to decide which train meets
their needs.
