Are they running a special timetable prior to the closure in order
to get all the trains the same way around during the closure, or is
there no such thing as a 1973 stock being "the wrong way around"?
Presumably there isn't, as there is only a loop at one end of the
line, so on alternate journeys the stock will be in reverse formation.
"Single ended" 73 stock can be either way round as the coupler is mechanical
only. Double ended units, i.e. those with a cab at both ends are handed and
therefore need to be the correct way round.
However for the sake of simplicity I suspect that all trains will be turned
so that the "A" end is at the west end.
