Default Unusual terminal points on LU
wrote:
Have there been any examples in recent times of LU stations temporarily
becoming terminal points (e.g. because of engineering work) but which
are virtually never used as potential terminal points at other times
even when the timetabled service falls apart for whatever reason? Do
train and platform destination signs just show "Special" or something
similar when a really oddball terminal point comes briefly into
operation?

The other week, the Piccadilly was reversing at Hounslow Central during
engineering work at Heathrow. This is a very rare reverse in the normal
scheme of things (in 4 years, I've never reversed there anyway).

The trains showed Hounslow Central though as 73TS is capable of showing
every station on the Piccadilly line (even those you can't reverse at),
including Adlwych!
