Urban myth i am afraid.
The sidings can take 1 train each. In an emergency a secind train can be
fitted into the sidings but its not a signal move, its done under rule only
under exceptional situations, usually to enable trains to enter Brixton and
disgorge customers. It was done on during the 2 attacks.

Its a shame the system at Vic failed to work correctly. If it had we could
have had a service running. As it was, our private contractors couldn't find
the problem....but thats another thread!

If a train fails in the s/b platform they can and do reverse it back
into the sidings. You can't head south from the central terminating

Just out of curiousity , how far do the sidings at Brixton go? I've heard
the tunnel goes halfway to streatham (urban myth perhaps?) but how far
does the track go? Can you fit many trains down there or is it used for
storage of some sort?
