Default Overhead wire in moorgate line stations

What about in the reverse direction? You want the pan to come up while
in the transition area.


Nope, got to set the mode switch and manually raise them. Pans will also
not go up if any part of the train is on contact with the 3rd rail.


So what do you do at the equivalent of Drayton Park, where the train
comes to a stop on the 3rd rail but needs to start on the overhead
because the third rail ends 5 metres beyond the front of the stopped
train?
