Two-way running has to be allowed, otherwise they wouldn't be able to

I've never seen it though. Perhaps RTT is your friend for today's
movements.

Two-way running at St.P is relatively common, i.e. during major
disruptions (which means, unfortunately, every few days over the last
few weeks). When that happens the trains can arrive in either platform
A or B and reverse there. Whether the destination boards can cope?
Well they so often give wrong information that I can't say that I've
noticed. The signs at the mezzanine level, where they direct you to
the left for northbound and straight ahead for southbound services are,
of course, entirely misleading when there's two-way running. Regular
passengers get to know, how on earth visitors manage I have no idea.

But TSGN (as people keep reminding me) have only a management contract
with DafT so they have no interest whatever in providing passengers
(sorry, customers) with accurate and timely information, as this doesn't
seem to have been written into their contract.
