Embankment (District) - if turned west to east.


South Ken (District) - if turned west to east.


West Ken (District) - if turned east to west.


High Street Ken (Circle) - if turned outer rail to inner rail


Highbury & Islington - if turning south to north. *Ditto for Warren
Street.


Piccadilly Circus (Bakerloo) - if turning south to north.


Charing Cross (Northern) - if turning south to north


Paddington (Bakerloo) if turning south to north.


I'm sure there are many. many more on the LU network. *I've done the
Victoria Line ones and I think Picc Circus on the Bakerloo line. I don't
recall doing the others although many of them have been scheduled during
engineering works.

For some reason I interpreted the question to mean places where the
same station could be used to reverse trains in opposite directions at
the same time, but not continuing through for some reason.

It was done at Island Gardens on the DLR when one track at a time was
being worked on at Cutty Sark, but that was a very special
arrangement.

There are a few places on the Central where it ought to be possible:
North Acton, White City, Leytonstone, Woodford, Hainault (of course).

On the Northern, I think Golders Green. On the Piccadilly, Arnos
Grove.

These are all places were trains do terminate sometimes, but not
usually in both directions.
