I conclude that the driver thought he had been told to reverse.


It's possible, and there is a crossover at Mornington Crescent - though
not accessible from Camden Town, something the driver should have known
from line knowledge.


No? I assume you mean the crossover between signals E29 and E31 shown
he

What makes it not accessible? A genuine question - i know nothing about
this stuff. If it can't be got to from Camden, where can it?


That crossover allows trains to go Camden Town SB - Mornington Crescent SB
(reverse) - Camden Town NB. It also allows Mornington Crescent NB - Signal
E4 (reverse) - Mornington Crescent SB.

Although physically possible, there are no signals allowing a move from
Camden Town NB - Mornington Crescent SB via that crossover.
