Any line signalled for bi-directional movements can be used anytime a signalman see fit, hence why a drivers route knowledge is very important for when these unusual moves take place.
fascinating, how come the tracks make so much noise in comparison to today? for example at 7:24 you can hear a lot of movement but nowadays you don't hear anything at all.
Wazza was crazy back in the 80's / early 90's but atleast by 1994 there was none of this wrong line business going on as i was there most weeks till the late 90's
Some really interesting footage there thanks for sharing.
The 47 at the start of this def needed new shock absobers! What a crazy cant angle it reached - and wrong way for a few seconds!!! Greaty stuff!
...it is at that angle because the cant on the track is correct. the loco is fine, the track is fine.

Different design techniques, but the joint that, that train was going over could have been broken too
As I recall, it was all bi-directional, I don't know if it's the same today

The track outside Warrington Bank Station is a disgrace and has been for years.
Wicked
