Default Victoria Line on Wednesday morning

And can you reverse in both directions at Victoria, Warren Street and
Seven Sisters? Again, the tracks would allow it, but what about the
signalling?


From the diagram that Tubeprune posted, you can do it at Victoria: for
north-to-south, run north out of the platform to behind VF16, then
reverse into the southbound platform.

Going to his site: you can do it at Warren Street. For north-to-south,
run north out of the platform to behind VG8, then reverse into the
southbound platform. For south-to-north, simply run directly over the
crossover when given the road by VG4.

Seven Sisters: you can only do south-to-north from platform 4. Either:
* no route indicator at VL6, forward to VL7, change ends, signal VL20
takes you over the scissors to VL19 which protects the entrance to
the southbound platform.
* right-hand indicator at VL6, forward over the crossover to a fixed red
light behind VL22A, change ends, signals VL22A and VL22B take you
straight to VL19.

North-to-south is harder but possible: into platform 5, change ends,
signal VL8 takes you on to the depot exit road, over the scissors, and
up to VL7. Change ends again, pass VL20 at danger with permission[*]
and run forward to the fixed red light at the end of platform 4. Change
ends a final time and depart normally (VL6 with left-hand junction
indicator).
[*] VL20 is not shown as having a junction indicator. I'm assuming,
therefore, that the only route from it leads to VL19. It could be,
however, that the only route leads to platform 4. In which case the
first of my south-to-north cases doesn't apply and north-to-south
involves all signalled moves.

Checking an old rulebook, I have some amendments to make:

* no route indicator at VL6, forward to VL7, change ends, signal VL20
takes you over the scissors to VL19 which protects the entrance to
the southbound platform.
* right-hand indicator at VL6, forward over the crossover to a fixed red
light behind VL22A, change ends, signals VL22A and VL22B take you
straight to VL19.


This is correct, except that the fixed red is placed so that VL22A will
be mid-train and can be ignored.

North-to-south is harder but possible: into platform 5, change ends,
signal VL8 takes you on to the depot exit road, over the scissors, and
up to VL7.


This is wrong. VL8 doesn't have a junction indicator, but nevertheless
can clear for two routes: either to VL7 on the depot entry road (62
road) or to the fixed red on the depot exit road (63 road). VL22B also
doesn't have an indicator but can clear for routes to either platform 4
(northbound) or 5 (southbound). So the north-to-south reversal is done
by: into platform 5, change ends, VL8 takes you to the fixed red on 63
road, change ends, VL22B takes you over the crossover and into platform
4, change ends, depart normally (VL6 with left-hand indicator).

[*] VL20 is not shown as having a junction indicator. I'm assuming,
therefore, that the only route from it leads to VL19.


This is correct.
